As you know, I’ve been trying to establish myself as an Internet Marketer for over a year now. Although I have had some success, I am now ready to really delve in and make a name for myself. But how? With forum marketing of course. From what I’ve heard, forum marketing is a great way to market yourself and establish a brand name. Plus, it doesn’t cost any money to do it.

So, for the month of May, my promotional challenge will be to hit forums with a vengeance. I plan on making at least 100 quality posts. Now, I’m not talking about posting b.s. posts. I want to really give back to the forum community and build a solid reputation.

Here are a few more techniques I plan to implement:

1. Create an exciting and well written profile that helps readers get to know the real me. For instance, if it is an IM forum that I’ll be blasting, I will discuss my experience with Internet Marketing in my profile. Or, if it is a mom only forum, I’ll discuss my experience as a mom. Basically I will talk about what I know and demonstrate my expertise within my profile. This will help me build and elicit trust with my readers.

2. Next, I will make 5 meaningful posts a day. During these posts, I will not discuss my products or services. Instead, I will offer helpful advice which will establish me as an expert and help others recognize my contributions.

3. Assuming that the forum allows it, I will create and utilize a powerful signature link that doesn’t blatantly advertise my product or services but leads prospects in the right direction…to click, click, click on my link for more information (which will cleverly direct them to my site)

4. Consistently use my name in everything I do – forum posts, email messages, reports, e-books, etc. This will help me get established.

5. Establish a few mutually beneficial partnerships with other forum members, possibly even the forum owner.

Well, that’s it. My plans for May…Forum blasting. Won’t you join me in my quest? Either way, I’ll keep you posted on the results of my blast.

I confess. I’m a PLR junkie. I just love purchasing quality content with visions of taking it and making it into something great. I love the idea of buying rights to a product that I can then use any way I want. I love seeing my name on the content and calling it my own. I love the thought of creating a great product based on a mediocre one.

The only problem is that I never do anything with the PLR I have. I have dog, health, smoking, pregnancy, entrepreneur, internet marketing, and all kinds of PLR sitting on my hard drive. I have books, reports, articles, software, etc. I have so much PLR sitting around that I don’t even know what all I have.

Isn’t that pathetic? I think so. I buy PLR with high hopes and then it just sits and sits on my hard drive collecting virtual dust.Well, this month, I’m fed up and am finally going to do something about this.

I’m going on a PLR rewriting blitz of sorts.Every single day I’m going to take my existing PLR and turn it into something brand new and fresh. I’m going to use my rewriting expertise to the highest degree. Basically, I’m going to go nuts rewriting PLR.

My goal is to rewrite two articles a day so 60 articles total (this month). I don’t know how I will monetize the content yet. I might submit it to directories or submit for pay. I don’t know. I am just confident that this idea will make me some extra money. And I’m going to report my results to you so that you can see, too. Wish me luck. This challenge starts today.  Won’t you join in?
