Forum is such a nice community to hang out. You can get lots of useful information on whatever interested topics you want. You can find valuable info FREELY that others charge you a fee in the form of eBooks. But are you only up to getting information? Be kind, share also to others what you have learned, this way you are not only helping others but you are also helping yourself to earn money. Below are simple ideas how you can turn your habitual forum posting into money.
Selling Your Own Products and Services
Most large forums has a marketplace for buying and selling your products and services. Owners usually offer this added service in their forum for free and even they didn’t get any commissions if ever you make a sale or earn money on your services offered. I highly recommend http://forums.digitalpoint.com/ marketplace in which you can buy/sell/trade almost all of your stuff.
Free Advertising - Earn Money With Your Affiliate Programs
If you have no products/services of your own and are just selling other’s products (you are an affiliate), it’s impossible to sell it on the marketplace section because referral links will not be allowed (an owner might be st***d if he allow such) in that area. In this case, the Advertising section of the forum might be the proper place to sell your merchant’s stuff. Not only you can sell, but you might also recruit new affiliates.
Free Promotion - Earn Money With Your Affiliate Programs
When you advertise your affiliate programs in the advertising section of a forum, it will be buried down to pages in the next couple of days or a week. No once can see and read now your ad. What you have to do is participate and participate in the forum, posting and creating threads in categories where you have the knowledge. So where’s the promotion? Simple. Just append the products/services you want to promote in your signature. You will then have more visibility dpending on your participation of a certain forum.
Revenue Sharing
Maybe an idea pioneered by DigitalPoint, forum members will have a (%) chance of having their Adsense Ads displayed on the threads they created or participated. And if your ad show and visitors click on it, then you will earn in Adsense.
Get Paid To Post
Yes, you can get paid by just posting in forums. This may applicable to new forums where owners hire posters to post on their forums and pay for each posts made. This method is used by owners to boost growth on their forum both members and content, because the more the content the forum has, the more people will likely to join.
Sell/Lease Your Links & Places
Signatures, location and avatar can earn you a little money. If you have good participation in the forum and you have a quite number of posts, you can sell or let others rent your signature, location or even your avatar. The price will depend on the number of posts you have. Will there be a buyer? Of course. If you actively participate in the forum, many buyers will buy for the promotion of their links.
