Why Owning A Forum Makes You The Driver Of The Winning Car In The Internet Marketing Highway Race
Warning! Please continue reading only if you consider yourself an Advance Internet Marketer. You must possess a basic knowledge of SEO, Adsense and of course, a driving motivation to succeed!
Whenever someone asks me a question pertaining to the definition of Internet Marketing, this is what I tell them- Internet Marketing basically setting up a business/shop (website). The big difference compared to a regular/physical business is that your website doesn't require costly rentals, staff salaries and high overheads like miscellaneous bills. Also, your business is open 24/7, 365 days a year with a very minimal chance of any closure.
So what is the key point in Internet Marketing? Well, it won't make you a single cent even if you are able sell authentic diamonds for US$1 a piece when your business is located in the middle of a desert in Africa right? But the ironic thing is, even if you sell the most pathetic of items, etc packets of tissue along the streets of China, the few cents that one Chinese pays you can easily become thousands of dollars! Why? Because there is a high chance that a fraction of the many thousands of Chinese traveling along the street where your business is located will need what you are selling!
Ok, just what am I trying to say here? In Internet Marketing, creating traffic for your website is the key to success. Yeah, I know what you are thinking. If you are able to read till this passage, I'm pretty sure you fit the criteria that I mentioned above right?
Enough of the small talk and let's get down to business.
A website can make you money, but do you know that Forums can make you TONS of money? Why? Think about it, you are probably a member in no fewer that 3 forums, right? From your hobbies to Internet Marketing and even to your job, you will definitely want to learn more or even share your knowledge with people who share similar lifestyles.
Do you know that forum owners that have for example, 3000 active members online can earn between US8000 to US$15000 a month? Just imagine what the owners of Digital Point and Warrior Forum are making!
Let's break it down shall we?
* A typical Adsense filled forum with an average number of members, say 4000 a month can earn you a minimal of US$500++. * Banner ads on a successful forum with the same number of members can earn you a minimal of US$2000++. * One of the key pointers of SEO to get your site listed and climbing is to have fresh content updated frequently.(Posts from your members are fresh baked contents right from the oven!) * With your members' email address, you can start sending them your links of your favorite affiliated products (with their approval of course! Don't want to be accused of Spamming you know!). * Last but not least, you will be seen as an authority if you're the owner of your forum. Your forum may discuss about anything that happens around the world, so it doesn't have to be about Internet Marketing. But in the online world, credibility is about everything!
Well, now that we've discussed about the advantages of owning a forum instead of a website, don't you think it is worth a least a little of your time trying to find out how to start one?
I own 3 successful forums with an average of 15000 members in each of them. How I begun started out on a simple night and some how or rather, I happened to chance upon this website. Click Here.
I hereby wish for nothing but good health and happiness to you and your love ones. Take care and god bless!
