More and more internet marketers are flooding to join forums everyday. Obviously they have the vision and see something beneficial to them. There are certainly many ways to make money in a forum. Here are 5 proven methods:

1. Quality post to build up your reputation

By Building your reputation, you are indirectly building friendship and trust. No one trust their money or time to some whom they do not know well. Share your ideas sincerely. Never promise anything you cannot deliver. Building up trust will build up friendship and you are on your way to a huge and strong network. You will soon have a team of fellow marketers and a big group of followers. Great business deal and joint venture come from them

2. Use your forum signature

The signature system is free for you to use. Most forum limit you to a 150 - 250 letters in your signature space, so please be sure that you fully maximize your signature space. Use short url services so that you will have more space to display more advertisement. Signatures are a great way of advertising. Most people will click on a reputable person’s signature and most probably join the program he/she puts in the signature. The more post you have, the more chances your signature ad is going to be expose to the money makers.

3. Upgrade your forum account and get more exposure

Many forums has paid membership for you to upgrade at a reasonable price. You can get a lot more exposure because your user name is displayed in a different color and also you can have some free banner impressions. Your name will always be displayed on the front side hence creating curiosity and more exposure to who you are. People wants to know you and wants to join the program you are joining and making money together with you.

4. Use forums to get higher PageRank and get index fast on Major Search engines

We all know that PageRank can increase the value of a site. Most buyers look for sites with higher PR compared to lower PR. If you site or blog got index or a high ranking PR of a forum, it will help and push your PR ranking. I have seen some site which have PR 1 and got PR 2 after just 1 week of been indexed by SE on a money forum. If you find your site not indexed on Major Search engines, one of the best way is to post your site on a forum with high PR and traffic. You will soon see your site being indexed on major search engines and indirectly you will have more traffic. Traffic is equal to money on the internet. Getting quality traffic are very important if you are looking to make money online.

5. Leverage on other money making gurus and learn from them

There are many members in the forum who are willing to share their tips and knowledge with you. Example if a member can teach you how to save money wisely and you managed to save an extra of $100 monthly. This makes $1200 in a year meaning indirectly you earned an extra of $1,200 in one year and that knowledge which is your assets follows you forever. Always increase your knowledge learning new things from the wise one. Many wants to share their quality methods of money making but are you the one who is willing to receive it? Knowledge is equal to power and money. Always invest your time in the forum learning new tricks. Treat the money forum like your money making university, you will find many professor out there willing to be your mentor.

There are many more ways to make money in forum. Any small idea can make you lots of money if you are willing to try new things. Every sub forum of a forum has its own reason for being there. Explore every part of the forum and you will be amazed of what you can find. Money making has never been made easier. The internet and technology has helped bring the world closer. The world is out there for you. Now it is time for you to receive it.

The Microsoft Ad Network

July 20th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in Advertising Networks

Alright… so Microsoft does seem to be stepping up its online game lately doesn’t it?  Maybe it’s just me, but I’m pretty sure they’re getting bigger on the www :).

Everybody though Microsoft missed out on  the purchase of some ad network called 24/7 real media, which was then purchased by WPP or something for $649 million, no big deal right?  Microsoft had earlier attempted to purchase Doubleclick but Google beat them offering $3.1 billion dollars… I’m not sure what Microsoft had offered.

Then finally Microsoft made the biggest purchase in it’s history… They bought the 10 year old ad network aQuantive for about $6 million.

Well, hopefully that turns out well for Microsoft, although I doubt they will surpass Yahoo, or Google with their advertising program.

Don’t let Friends Steal Your Money

July 20th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in Hints and Tips

Alright… so here’s what happened to me. I sold my first website No Games Allowed for $300, after working on it (in my opinion) by myself for it’s 3-4 months on the internet. One of my friends in computer class was interested in helping me out with it, and I tried to get him to do some stuff for the site… expecting to pay him part of my profits from the site. It turned out that he was completely useless… and didn’t really help the site out at all. Made 1 half-ass template… and maybe submitted to a few directories (which for some reason failed to get accepted…?).

Anyways… he got away with $50 of the profits after seemingly doing nothing. Now I have to move on and make more money. *Sighs*

Sloppy… rushed posts

July 20th, 2007 | No Comments | Posted in guides

As you may have noticed… my last two posts were examples of really sloppy, and rushed posts.  You probably knew that’s what I was going to talk about right when you read the title of this post, unless you came to this post without first reading the previous posts.  Now that I’ve gotten that run-on sentence out of the way, I guess I’ll get on with this post… un-rushedly, and un-sloppy.

If your a blog owner, you should know that sloppy posts, rushed posts… or posts where you just kind-of dwell on the same thing, and stall specifically get more words in… are horrible.  The blog-reader gets bored out of his/her mind, and you lose traffic… so really, nobody wins at all.

Here is how I’ve decided to go about… not making these kinds of post~

Famous Webjedis List:

  • Devote a specific amount of time to your website, or blog… and make sure you never trade that time for something else. (Unless it’s something really important of course)
  • Don’t get in over your head in networks of websites that are really hard to maintain. (I’ve made a post on this before I believe)
  • Think about things to write on all the time, when your bored, trying to sleep, playing a video game, working on another website… you should always get new ideas for your website!
  • When you can’t think of anything to write about, or you seem to be in a rush, and have lots of other things to do… then start selling reviews on your blog… or write a few filler posts until your start getting in the swing of it again.

You should never just completely stop writing because you don’t feel like it.  Your blog is your job, along with your other websites… If you make it for a hobby, something to make money, a side job… you should always be looking to make your site stronger.  So maybe one day you could retire and just make millions off your website while hardly doing anything.  In case your wondering, that’s pretty much what I strive for :).
