Forum Marketing
Forum marketing is a type of word-of-mouth marketing where one joins online forums to participate in discussions, build credibility over time, and gently promote their company or products. It requires minimal time investment to join forums but building presence takes longer. When participating, one should stay professional by giving advice, adding links to their signature, and hosting widgets, programs, and reviews to engage others.

- #6 Resources The only investment that you need to make is time. You can join a forum by signing up and creating a profile. This can be done in a few minutes. Forums cost nothing to join, but to be truly effective, time must be spent building credibility and making your product’s or company’s presence known.
- #7 Execution details Joining a forum is as easy as signing up, creating a profile, and participating in people’s discussions. You must note that a certain sense of good manners and decorum will serve you well in such a setting. Build up a credibility on forums and then use that credibility to make recommendations, build a network of interested parties, and mildly promote your products or company.
- #8 Practical tips When you are on forums for business purposes, it is important that you stay professional. Recommendations are the most powerful tool you will have in your arsenal on the forum. After spending some time on the forum, and your credibility is good, then you can feel more secure in talking about the opportunities that your business has to offer.
