Forums. There are certainly plenty to choose from. If you spent every minute of every waking day looking for them, you couldn't possibly find them all. That's okay. You don't have to. Finding the most active forums is as easy as doing a search engine look up. Simply type in "forums" for one search and "message boards" for another. You will get the most frequented forums and message boards on the Internet.
But how do you use them to sell your program?
Most forums and message boards do not allow you to actually post ads. They view this as spamming the boards and they will delete your posts faster than you can ask where it went. But the one thing you can do at forums is engage in discussions. There are going to be many people who go to forums, especially work at home forums, who are going there to either ask about certain programs on the Internet or how to go about starting and promoting their own business.
This is where you either have to have some knowledge of your own or be ready to do a bit of research to find the answers to some of these questions. Once you start to frequent these boards often and contribute a number of replies to the questions asked you start to become somewhat of an authority, and it doesn't take long. Usually within a month or two, people are looking to you for answers. You'll notice at most forums there are those who seem to be the most active. You want to be one of these people.
Once you are seen as an authority you will notice that people will begin to contact you with questions. They'll start to ask you what you do to make money and if you can offer any tips to them. This is where
you can tell them about your resale rights package. This will have to be done in private emails or messages and only if you are contacted first.
In time you will start to see that you are getting some sales. As word spreads, you'll get some more sales. Eventually, these people will start making sales on their own and the whole thing will just balloon. Imagine doing this for a handful of message boards and forums.
Yes, it can be time consuming if you want to do it correctly, but nobody ever said making money on the Internet was going to be quick or easy.
If you want to speed up the process and have a few bucks to spend on web hosting and design, you can actually create your own forum. Yes, this is a big job and not to be taken upon lightly. But imagine the
kind of traffic you will eventually get once your popularity with the search engines increases as you add content to your site. Some forums have tens of thousands of members. If just one percent of this number purchased your package initially, you're looking at over 100 sales.
If you've got a good product and you're at a forum where people are struggling trying to find something that actually works, you may have the best built in market for your program. All you'll need to do is impart a little knowledge and show people that you truly do care and are trying to help them. |
