Human beings are social by nature, and online communities or
forums are the latest in a long progression of social
organizations created by humankind. While many people join
forums specifically for the social benefits, there are several
good reasons for Internet entrepreneurs to join an online
forum. Here are the top seven benefits you and your online
business can reap.
The top reason many Internet business men and women join forums
is for the search engine benefits. Many forums are tremendously
popular with search engines and so not only rank well but also
are regularly crawled. Most forums offer an introductions area
as well as a signature area where you can promote your web site
or sites. In addition, as you participate in a forum that is
relevant to your site's topic there will likely be
opportunities to work your site into conversation. All these
links can be of tremendous benefit in terms of search engine
rankings and relevant back links.
However, if you think that search engine benefits are the
beginning and end of the ways you and your Internet business
can profit from joining a forum then you are missing out on a
lot of learning.
If you are going to join a forum then join a forum that help
you learn more about your niche. Even if you are an expert in
your field there is always more to be learned and where else to
go for that knowledge than a place where others knowledgeable in
your area also hang out? That is what is so wonderfully flexible
about forums. There really is an Internet community for everyone
and every interest. Your task is to find the forum where your
peers are already hanging out. Learning more about your niche
is a tremendous benefit of joining a forum.
You don't need to restrict your forum memberships to those
within your field. It is also wise to join forums that can help
you learn more about how to run your business. Find forums of
other small business owners and entrepreneurs. You will soon be
able to find folks who are at your level of expertise as well as
those with more experience willing to share their hard-earned
lessons. Soon you'll have the opportunity to repay that debt by
mentoring other newbies. This sharing and hand-holding is one of
the elements that make Internet communities so successful.
You should also seek a forum to help you with your Internet
marketing. There are many different approaches to Internet
marketing and while some people prefer the scatter-gun approach
most choose one or two primary methods. Explore and text methods
to determine which you feel most comfortable with and then join
a forum focused on that method to help you refine your approach
and achieve maximum success.
One of the primary problems with the Internet is that it can be
easy to feel isolated. However forums can help bridge the gap of
time and distance by serving as a community as well as an
information source. Friendships and even love can be found in
time and laughter and camaraderie and commiseration can help
sustain the person as well as the business.
Forums can also help you find customers for your business. As
you participate and share information about your business some
folks will naturally express an interest. As you share your
expertise and demonstrate your knowledge then you will attract
still more. Don't be a pushy salesperson, simply allow your
expertise to showcase your business and you will attract a
quality customer relationship.
A forum can also be a great place to find partners to help you
expand or promote your business in a number of ways. You might
discover some like-minded soul whose business perfectly
complements yours or you might discover the perfect
joint-venture partner. Even if you encounter people you might
view as competition try to view the relationship from many
angles to see if there is a way to benefit from a partnership
rather than a competition.
Joining forums can provide many benefits to you and to your
business but remember that Internet communities are social
contracts with rules and guidelines. Make sure you know and
understand the rules before leaping into discussions. It is
even more difficult to undo a bad first impression on the
Internet as it cannot always be erased. Start slow and easy
until you are sure of your footing. Also, be very wary about
pushing your business too aggressively. That type of activity
can get you banned from a forum pretty quickly. Many forums
have a clearly marked area for advertising and sales posts and
also allow some blatant promotion in your signature, but keep
your posts on topic and helpful and you'll be better off in the
long run.
