July 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Have heard the saying the “money is in the list” ? No doubt you have. It’s all over the internet, but to be successful do you really need a list ? I would say the answer to this question has to be yes, as once you have built a good sized listyou have your own ready made customer base for the future. This will save you time of having to find new customers through advertising etc… by having your customer base. You will also save the money that you may have used for advertising.
There are various ways of how to build your list easily. Here are a few tips of the cheapest ways to do this.
Your Own Domain
You will need a website of your own, because you can then send potential customers there and you can get them to add their names and addresses to your optin form. By giving away a free ebook or report you will encourage them to do so. If you have never set up a website or an opt in form before this can be quite daunting. There are lots of videos online to help you with this. But for a hold your hand, step by step type of training I would try Optin Profits. When you have your website and opt in form up and running it is time to get traffic to your site. These are 3 ways to get traffic cheaply.
1. Marketing Using Articles.
Writing articles is a great way of getting traffic to your website. Once you get your articles published you can forget all about them and still be receiving traffic for years to come. Don’t just write one article and expect floods of traffic to your site, the more articles you have published the more visitors you will get. So do as many as you can. It will seem a bit scary at first , but once you have your first few articles published and you see the results you are getting writing will become easier. You just have to be yourself when you are writing and your visitors will realise you are not just copying someone elses words.
2. Blogging
Find some forums that are connected to the product you are promoting. Look through the posts and if you have an answer to any of the problems the people on the forum are experiencing let them know. This will have people thinking you are a bit of an expert on the subject, (even if your not). When you leave a reply on the forums you can add a signature at the bottom with your website url. Providing you have posted something of value you will start to get visitors to your site from people eager to see what you are promoting and if it can help them. If it can you may have a new customer. Your opt in form should capture their name and email address so if they don’t buy this time they may want something you promote in the future. Do not go on the forums and just reply to any post to get your signature seen as this is seen as spamming. If you have the answer of value to a persons problem then that is ok, if not don’t post as you will be seen as a nuisance and nobody will be clicking on your website url.
3. Forums
Whatever product you are promoting you will find lots of forums on this subject. Have a look through the posts and see what problems the people on the forum are having and if you can answer those problems let them know. People will then think you are a bit of an expert on the subject, (even if your not). Also when you leave a reply you can add a signature at the bottom containing your website url. If you are providing value in your posts you will start getting visitors to your site. These people will be keen to see if what you are promoting can help them with their problem. If it can you could have another new customer. You should capture their name and email address with your opt in form, so even if they don’t buy this time they may in the future with something else you promote. A word of warning, you must not go on to these forums and just reply to any post you see. This will be seen as spamming if you are doing it just to get your signature seen. As long as you have an answer of value to a persons problem then that is ok. If you don’t then don’t post anything as nobody will be clicking on your website url as you will be seen as a nuisance.
There you have it 3 easy ways to start promoting your website for free and building yourself a list for a very prosperous future. Gaining the trust of your list is a must, offer them unexpected free bonuses like a report or ebook every now and then . The more trust you build with your list the more likely they are to buy from you in the future. If you need help on building your list you should have a look at Optin Profits. It has step by step videos and you will set yourself up to make a profit from your list.
There are many other ways to build a list, but these three will get you started for free and once you have made some money you can always reinvest it in your business to get even more traffic.

Top 10 Reasons Why People Get Banned From Forums
November 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Forums have emerged as a source of information sharing and socializing. Forums are giving the entire world an opportunity to express their views or ideas, share their thoughts or concerns or seek opinions from other people and new friends are made. The ultimate goal of a good forum is to get a family kind of feeling within all members that all in all are the only responsible parties for the success of a site.
Here I am going to list few top reasons for why people are getting banned from forums:
Breaking Rules: The members who are not follow the rules of the particular forum they will be banned from forum. Some forums are very strict and moderators will warn you once before banning. If you break the rules again then you are banned from forum.
Here are some of the rules that people break more often
1) Multiple or repeated posting in order to increase your post count is not allowed.
2) Rudeness in postings, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts
Behavior: Most of bans are also because of the bad manners and general bad behavior of the members in the site. Like posting your day to day struggles, marital problems, friendship problems, co-worker problems, family problems or financial problems and using vulgar language in the posts lead to banned you from site.
Spamming: Simply rushing through a forum and posting a blurb about your site or product is going to get your post deleted and your user name banned as a spam poster. Especially dangerous spamming includes saying “Thank you” in a reply thread, or posting the same lame trackers with open signups over and over again. This will lead you to ban from forum permanently.
Advertising or promoting: Promoting your own services for profit on any forum will lead you to ban from forum. If you want to promote your site you just use the signature filed but do not post any links in threads. Moderators will check and banned your account.
Creating Duplicate Accounts: Creating multiple or duplicate accounts in same forum will lead you to ban from that forum. This is because while you are creating your account your IP address is stored by that forum so when you are trying to create another account with same IP address then you will banned from that site.
Repeated postings: Repeated postings or double postings likely to get banned from forum. Do not double post or cross post into forums.
Use Profanity: Unless it is a porn forum, then you are not supposed to post any type of sexual content that would offend the masses. By this you will be banned and you will be reported to the authorities and guess what be very careful as imprisonment could be the last place you visit before any other forum.
Reply Cheating: This one consists of a single member or even a coalition between two members, where they are replying to each other’s posts to look better than others. This will easily catch by moderators so you get banned from that forum.
Posting empty responses: Do not post empty or useless responses, such as just “lol” or “cool” and use correct spelling, grammar and avoid slang unless you know the word or phrase will be understood by other members. Only post responses when you have something to contribute.
Ask For a Ban: It sounds like silly but some forums are having this facility also. People often ask for a ban since it’s not often possible to delete the account. Either that, or arrogant members are tempting fate by saying, “Hi, can I have a ban please?” or “Can I get banned please” which results in a quick an immediate ban.
