Are you new to internet marketing and looking for exposure? Do you have a product or service and are excited about getting the word out. Have you wondered where to begin? Let’s say you also have a very limited budget. Or you simply need to practice before you begin spending on those Search Engines.

One of the best ways to get some free traffic is to join an online forum or forums and begin making posts. There are thousands of forums on the internet on just about every subject you can think of. And a lot of eyes to see each post. This alone can be intimidating. But if you have a friendly, patient forum setting, you will eventually feel at home with your group and won’t give your post a second thought.

I have a few suggestions for you as you begin.

1. Find some forums dealing with a subject you are interested in. It should be related to the product or service you are marketing. Visit there without joining for a few days. Read the posts. Get to know the people that are posting. See how they treat each other. You should see some new people joining. Are they welcomed in to the forum? Are the other members encouraging to the new member and others? Or are they ridiculed and made to feel stupid for asking questions? These are important points. If you don’t feel comfortable in a particular forum, cross it off your list. You won’t want to join and feel humiliated for asking a question.

2. Once you’ve found a few forums where you feel comfortable, join those forums. Set up your signature with your web address for all to see. Read the forum rules and introduce yourself for your first post. You can give as much or as little information as you like. You can make your introduction incredibly generic, or share every little detail about yourself. But I suggest you go generic and add more as you become more comfortable. And just a caution, for privacy issues, you may not want to go too much into detail.

3. Bookmark the forums you visit regularly. Set them in their own folder to open in tabs. That way, you can easily visit each forum quickly each day. You won’t want to post, just for posting sake. Rather, read and become informed. Ask questions and begin a genuine and sincere dialog with other members. Share information with them and learn from them. Try to post quality posts regularly.

I was once part of a work at home opportunity that suggested that we make three posts every day on the forum of our choice. The posts weren’t quality posts. Everyone knew of the quota recommendation. It was a source of irritation to other forum members. We all have something to share. Make sure you share quality information and ask quality questions. You will help others, and help yourself in the process.

I am a member of http://erichw33.proboards53.com/index.cgi. This is the most giving, caring online group I have ever seen. I have learned a great deal from my year as a forum member. This is a respected, and respectful group. When I first visited, I was encouraged to ask questions and never made to feel lower than those in the know. It has really been a great experience for me and I look forward to my visit each day with other forum members.

I hope you will find a forum where you feel comfortable and begin growing your sense of community online, while driving traffic to your site.
