Forums and Message Boards.

Before you do anything bookmark this site. You will need to refer back when managing your ad campaigns. I am now about to guide you, step by step, to earning the traffic you will need to become a success.

I have given you 6 boards to start with, in time you will want to add more to this list. All I ask is you keep everything subject related. In otherwords don't post your affiliate ad on a gardening site unless it has to do with gardening.

We are all potential customers of one another and integrity goes a long way in establishing a relationships and a reputation in this business.

If people see you as a reliable and honest source for info they will not hesitate to listen to you when you introduce them to your latest endeavor.

Be sure to always include your Url in your profile for others to see no matter what board you are subscribed to. Most boards have a place to introduce yourself. Be sure to do this. After members read your post they will look at your profile and possibly click on your link.

If you can set up a freeware or shareware form filler you can breeze through this in 15 minutes. Personally I use Roboform. It has a nice username/password system and there are absolutely no worries of Adware and Spyware. (I won't go near this stuff!)

Download and set up RoboForm now.

1. Open Blogger in a new tab. (left click - new tab)
2. Set up a blog. Post the advertisment you usually use to promote your site.
   
3. Submit this Blog to BlogSearchEngine.com
   
   1. note: your submission goes through a moderator so you will not be able to post instantly. Just save your post (once) and check back in a day. It should be listed.
      
4. Set up Google Ad Sense to show ads on your blog and write down your code.
5. Write down my username beepbeeper. You will need it as a referal reference.

Open these 6 links in 6different tabs.

Sample Introduction Message:

Hi everyone, just signed up on this board by recommendation. I have had a chance to look around and I noticed...(describe the nature of the blog). I am currently promoting (name the endeavor but do not post the link, the link is in your profile and/or your signature) and would love to hear your opinions. I am always open to new ideas so please do not hesitate to e-mail me or send me a private message.

Congratulations! You have completed task Number 1.

Now that you have set up these boards be sure to return to this site every couple days. Open all boards in different tabs and check your private messages on each board. Look around the boards, post comments whenever you have something to offer or share. Be sure to read each boards rules about promoting your business on the board. Some boards such as scam.com (which I also recommend as an excellent resource) don't take kindly to self promotion, others welcome it and actually encourage it! Others have very specific areas for this. A rule of thumb, if you are pissing people off you are doing something wrong.
