Using Message Boards In Your Marketing

Posted by Brian on 03 September 2008

Today I want to discuss message boards. This is another really
misunderstood form of advertising that almost nobody uses
correctly. To understand this, you have to understand the
message board poster mentality.

The typical message board poster will simply go to the message
board of his choice and post an ad for his product or service. Well,
that’s pretty much what everybody does there. Nobody bothers reading
the actual posts. At least very few people do. That’s why, in order
to get your message read, it MUST stand out.

How do you do this?

Very simple. You have to pretty much use the same tact as I showed
you with traffic exchanges. You can’t promote your opportunity. You
have to offer some kind of free report and show these people why
they are having so much trouble succeeding with their business.
Trust me, very few of these people are having any success at all.
Your headline or subject line has to stand out from the crowd.

I use something like this.

“Stop Posting To Message Boards Until You Read This”

Trust me…it works. It gets people’s attention. They want to know
what’s going on.

Then, if you offer them something of value for nothing, you’ll get
people into your list. From there, simply follow the procedure I
outlined with TEs. Give them good content on a regular basis and
eventually you’ll start making sales.

It’s all mindset. Once you understand how people think and what they
respond to, this whole process becomes a lot easier.

See you then.

Sincerely,

Brian Dew
