1. Your signature document :

Most of the forums allow you to carry a 4 - 6 lines of signature files with your title . So these files appears below your title when you answer a forum thread.

Most many people sell about their product. Dont do that. Always offer some costless ecourse or trial item. Personally I prefer to offer free of cost ecourse than an ezine because, we feel that we gain more in short course of 7 days rather than a chain of endless ezines.

Second you might offer free of price product or free of cost trial software or costless membership.

Always link the e mail or web page backlink , so simple click will take the readers to the destination page.

2. Use the section Special offers to Forum Members Forum:

You can see a seperate forum like Special discount to Forum members. Here you can sell your product or offer special discounts to forum members.

Tips while affixing in these type of forums-

• Add an image of your product.
  

• Use the html code to highlight the benefits.
  

• Hyperlink the web page or merchandise hyperlink.
  

• State your discount in bold letters.
  

3. Seek partners for joint ventures:

Choose a forum appropriate for your product or business. For example if you are selling reseller hosting service then choose web designers forums.

Most web designers prefer to host their clients on own servers, so there will be more chances for you to get partners here.

Tips on seeking joint ventures-

• Let your partner get equal benefits from your proposal.
  

• Be polite in asking partnership.
  

• Leave the selection or decision building to the person whom you are going to inquire of a joint venture.
  

• 1 or 2 emails. If you didnt get any response, no more emails. May be he/she doesnt like these type of ventures.
  

4. Banner advertising or sponsoring:

Some forums sell advertising space and look for sponsors to sponsor the forum categories. If you want to act as a sponsor, you pay them like monthly or yearly and they put your internet page or merchandise backlink on the forum index, at the sub forum you choose.

This sponsoring is very cost successful way of promoting than banner branding.

For example, you are selling search engine ebook. You can sponsor the sub forum Search engine promotion in the list of forums. Your ebook link will be placed on that category of forums.
