Internet has changed the way we communicate. We are now able to express our views to millions of people around the world at the same time. We can make ourselves heard by posting comments on blogs, social sites, forums, chat rooms and many other private membership sites. But not many people know that money can be made by submitting such posts if desired.
Communication is a power tool. You can provide information, ask questions, give an opinion or pass on instructions on which ever topic you want to engage on the internet. So you can find many people meet on the internet chat rooms and forums to participate in discussions and exchange ideas. There are numerous topics ranging from stamp collections to space travels being discussed on the internet forums. Therefore, it is to your advantage to join a forum and participate in a discussion in any topic of your interest.
Once you are a member of a forum, it is very important t that you put a link in your signature or include your website URL in all your postings. These links can also be your affiliate link. Your reader will then be able to find your site and learn more about you or purchase the product from your site depending how your site is being set up.
Try to post answers to questions in the forum. Readers love answers as these are what people are looking for. So even if your post is just a simple answer, people will still want to read it. By posting answers every now and then, readers will start to notice you and if most of your answers are of good value, the readers will recognize you as an expert in that particular field. Eventually you will gain their trust.
You will start to understand what this group of people are looking for and eventually direct them to a solution or a product that you believe can be of help to them. You can take the opportunity to be an affiliate of this product and earn a commission from every sale you make through your affiliate link. In this manner you make a profit by participating in forums.
Whenever you receive a comment to your post, it is very important that you give thanks to the writer. This shows that you are a humble person and have respect and appreciation of the writer's effort. In return, they will respect you.
Please do not simply copy an answer from other sites and post it in the forum. It can be very easily detected. If you need to do that, I suggest you rephrase the entire answer in your own words before posting it. Always put in your most sincere words in your post. There are numerous ways that you can find an answer to a question. You can always ask your friends, your relatives, family members, tweak it and post it on Yahoo Questions, check it out at the resource library or simply ask anyone you happen to know.
Always remember to be honest with your answers and you will earn the trust of your readers. They will then follow your advice and buy your product.
