How to Pull Immediate Income Through Reverse Forum Marketing

Although forum marketing is generally considered to be a long term strategy, it is possible to make money almost immediately from online forums without being banned. But, to do this, you really need to think strategically. In this article, I'm going to reveal a method for making money in only a short space of time using online forums. Follow this method, which I've christened Reverse Forum Marketing, and you can make a small amount of cash, which may be enough to tide you over until your longer term marketing strategies come to fruition.

First of all, you need to identify forums that you already have a presence in, but which you aren't using to their full potential. Think about it this way. If you're a typical Internet user, you've probably joined many online forums over the years by registering accounts and making the occasional post, but maybe you're not active in those forums. That isn't a big problem, as your life as a member is important here for giving you an instant trust factor. There might even be forums that you do post in regularly, but hadn't considered marketing to. If you're not sure, search your e-mail and look for forum confirmation links. That will give you a good idea of the forums which you're already well established in.

Next, you need to find something to market to those forums. You need to think about this stage a bit in reverse to the typical forum marketing strategies. You're not looking to market an existing product by finding forums that match the product. Instead, you've already found forums that you can market to, and you're looking for a product to match those. There are a few ways you can do this, but one of the easiest is to look on the ClickBank Marketplace. Find a product which looks enticing to the forum audience, set up an affiliate link and a cloaked redirect through a site that you own and you're ready to go.

Now this is the stage when you hit the forum. Make a few quick posts without a signature, just to show that you're back. Then edit your signature to include the link to the product you're promoting. Make sure that the forum rules allow for this. You may also look for other places in the forum where you promote. Prey upon your long time history in the forum and your ability to make targeted posts and you can make some sales through this reverse forum marketing strategy.

It's a good idea to repeat this tactic on multiple forums if these are available to you. Not every forum will be successful and some may catch on to what you're trying to do. But, if you can play the numbers game, there is a good chance that some will be successful. Because you already have established accounts, this can be a quick marketing method and can be excellent when you want to make some immediate affiliate income.
