Active participation on message boards related to your niche can be a great way to build traffic, promote your site, gather marketing intelligence and much more.
Here’s the time-honored approach:
- Step one: Search for message boards related to your niche and sign up as a registered user.
- Step two: Don’t go into “marketing mode” right away or make sales pitches. Introduce yourself first. Find interesting threads and contribute to the discussion.
- Step three: Once you’ve established your sincerity and credibility, you can post a message asking group members for their feedback. This could range from a “what do you think about my site or product?”, to taking a survey of the groups concerns and using that data to create your product.
Step four: Place a short bit of teaser copy along with your URL into the signature area of your message. Your signature can be edited at will via your member profile, and will appear at the bottom of every message you post.
The message board tactic is all about building trust, credibility and solid relationships. It’s one of the best ways to find out, in real time, what your potential customers are thinking.
