• Always provide value for other forum members. Forget what's in it for you and really connect with the the topic and people you are engaging with by always giving constructive advice, compliments, or information that is good or edifying. Populating your post count with Great Post or Nice or Good One will not cut it and definitely will not position you as a leader. In other words do not talk nonsense or be a generality when it comes to your posts.

• Run a special offer on your forum. However, make sure you are prepared to answer questions and help other people get true value from what you are offering, even if it means you loose money.

On the upside offering a special discount to forum members is a great way to grab the attention of forum members so they will come to your website and buy your products.

• Never pitch your network marketing opportunity. Position yourself as a leader by showing that you are able to help them and they will come running to you. That's attraction marketing at work.

• Start your own thread or topic. You need to have a catchy headline or title for this to work well. Ask a big question. The aim is to cultivate an ongoing conversation. A great way to start discussion is to give your view or thoughts and ask for other forum members for their opinion on your big question. What would they do? How is it effecting them? etc A thread with nobody talking about it will create no visitors to your website. Having your friends post to the thread will help it attract more and more people to come and/or follow. That way more people will be exposed to you.

Follow these simple suggestions and you will surely have success in forum marketing.
