The Magic Bullet

Chapter VI: Forum Decorum… Okay here we are in the GibLink forum.

 

You are with me, right?

 

Let’s take a look around and see what is going on.

 

If you have never used a forum before check the main subject lines, click on those that interest you, and watch the back and forth between the members

 

Don't do anything right now.

* Don't post
* Don't reply
* Just read
* Just look around.

You should see some main topics like…

* Introduce Yourself * Important Information * Marketing Strategies

These topics have threads under them that relate to the main topic and you want to browse these threads and see what people are saying.

 

At some point you should introduce yourself to members in the forum and you want to make an impression when you do so...

Make sure you type something up about yourself and spell-check it before you submit it. Try to tell a short story about yourself that you feel may grab attention. Your subject line will be important here.

In a later chapter we cover how to write killer subject lines, you may want to read that first before you post.

When you decide the time is right to take the plunge into the forum, go to the link that says, ‘Introduce Yourself.’ Click on it, scroll down to the bottom and click reply. This will take you to a box where you can put your subject line in and write a bit about yourself, then click submit and you are all set.

Neat huh? Next, see if you can spot who is talking about advertising and marketing.
