Make money online trying to sell on the forums, is a good choice?. While the membership and attendance at a forum, is primarily involved in obtaining or providing information, another widely used option, and certainly very effective, is to promote a website.
This, arguably the common and formal, but as everywhere there are people who do not respect these “rules” and only subscribe to a forum exclusively for trying to sell.
First of all we must realize that the forums were not created for that purpose, and although they can be used to promote a site, there are some people who, leaving aside the issue of ethics, are able to promote your site no matter that the theme of this has nothing to do with the theme of the forum.
The last case I have seen in yesterday (which is why I decided to write this article) was that in a business forum and marketing, promoting a breeding site Rottweiler breed dogs, and although most of these cases are removed from the site, yet continue to appear.
The fundamental premise of a forum is to answer queries or, seek or provide certain information, provide solutions to problems, etc.. The community consultation forum and help each other with the active participation of all members generating a permanent advisory group and a place for the exchange.
All participating and there are building their reputation within the site and gaining the trust of other members. I think joining the forum to just placing an ad, is not involved, is rather interrupt or annoy.
Then it is a fundamental question: do you really think that is a benefit to introduce your site and place an ad without entering? You should thoroughly evaluate it and see that you do not provide any benefit, but on the contrary, members of the forum will generate rejection of your site and of course I never expect from a recommendation out there to visit your site.
Log in to any forum that has nothing to do with the subject or niche of your website, and make only some manual intervention to place your link, not a good idea. The members of this community does not take long to discover yourself and look bad in front of everyone instead of generating and friends, who is also one of the aims of the forums, people are making you not want to hear from you.
As a recommendation I would say try to enter the forums related to your niche, if you’re interested in advertising your site, and there built a reputation as an active participant in that community and see that many people will be in your favor and recomendándote making it come to you important visits to your website.
Finally: The forums are a good choice for attracting visitors, but you must be “a true integral” to that community, striving to make comments and useful things and make sure to put your signature to identify you properly. The good participation in the forums is and will remain a very good option to attract relevant traffic to your site.
Good luck.
