Tip of the Week- How to Find Forums in Your Niche

One of the ways to reach your target audience is to go to the
forums where "your people" hang out and participate in their
conversations. I recently read an article on this topic at
subhub.com  and I'd like to share some of the
points it made:

Benefits of Using Forums

    * You can network with people who share your interests
    * Get content ideas by seeing which topics attract the most
interest
    * Find other potential content contributors
    * Drive traffic by putting links in your posts and signature
    * Find joint venture partners
    * Get back links to your site from the links in your post


How to find forums

According to the article's author, his first stop is to go to Big
Boards . Big Boards is a website directory
listing the most active message boards on the web. According to the
About page, "message boards may be ranked by post count, by members
count or by post per member ratio, using only recent (previous
week) data, using alexa.com ranking system or by traffic for the
boards which have included the big-boards trackers."

Another way to find relevant forums is simply go to the search
engines like Google or Yahoo!, type in your keywords + forum. An
example would be: albino black sheep + forum. Yes, there really are
albino black sheep. Who knew?


What to do in the forums

Once you've found a forum with "your people," participate by asking
and answering questions, offering helpful tips and advice.
Eventually, the forum members will come to see you as an authority
on the topic and will visit your site.  Don't overtly promote
yourself or your products. Just link to your website or a free
report in your signature.

If you've been offering valuable content to the forum members,
they'll click through to find out more about you.
