How to Make Money Online with Forums

Forums as a Reach Out Method will 
help you Make Money Online


Have you become familiar with Internet Forums? Would you like to know what is going on in the internet world? Do you want to keep up with the information of the day? Or would you like to have a place to express yourself or to ask questions and get input from all kinds of people from a wide variety of backgrounds. 

Well – forums are for you. If you are going to make money online, you’ll need to both keep abreast of the times but also get your web url out as much as possible. You can use your web url in your signature line on a post. You can not directly advertise your business however. Your name recognition or as it is called, branding is very important.


It is good to select several different subjects. First you spend some time setting up accounts with several forums. Then each day spend a bit of time day surfing for information on topics of interests and then respond with GOOD content attaching your signature line and web url. Eventually enough people start to follow what you are talking about and then they check out your business. It is all a numbers game. You have to have something worth while to say, I call it ‘meat’, to add to your reply or any topic you begin. Any business that that leads to success will require you to have several reach out methods. This is just one.

On advice from several web mentors I started checking out forums. I just looked at a forum for people over 50 years and found all kinds of subjects that I genuinely have interest in, from health, natural healing, pets, gardening and more. I will also be looking for business forums, some for people interested in the environment, etc. People are people and it helps to know your target market. In fact it is vital to know that market. Luckily for me, my market is the general public, old and young and with a wide variety of interests. My home based business is in health and nutrition which is wide open. I also have a business opportunity with a substantial income opportunity when someone is willing to work. The baby boomers are entering the world of making money online in waves.

Online home business online gives great freedom of when to work, where, which means travel is open, we can work here in NW Washington, Mexico or in our Motor home on the road (that keeps my husband quiet happy). All I need is my computer and an air card for the internet connection and a thumb drive with my pass codes and user names and we are ‘on the road again’.

There are all types of forums with every possible topic. Do a Google search for a forum, newsgroups, message boards, web forums, discussion boards and discussion groups. This will get you off to a good start. Spread yourself out to broaden your knowledge as well a get your web url out there. This is just one of many excellent ways for a business to make money online  is to advertise. What other reach out methods do you use? You’ll want 3 to 5 good reach out methods. Well planned and consistent hard work do lead to success.
