Tools: Forums can be a great resource

When we first come online, we come filled with hope, and dollar signs in our eyes, but we soon realize it's not that easy to make it online. I have found that forums are great places to learn from well respected marketers, to build a name for yourself, get answers to questions you may have, and make long lasting friendships, business partners, and so on.

Forums are not for spamming. Members of these forums get very rowdy when their forum is spammed. When joining a forum, before doing anything, always introduce yourself. Make the first impression a lasting one. Then find a conversation going on that interest you, and join in. Forums are a tool and they can help you more than you can imagine, if taking seriously.

I am a moderator at the JoeShmo200 Internet Marketing Forum, and I have made some great friends, and some great contacts just by communicating, and being of help. I am also a member of some other great marketing forums that has helped me along the way.

We are one person, we don't have all the answers, so it's good to have online friends to turn to when we need answers, and these forums are filled with knowledgeable people waiting to help. Give forums a try, and treat them seriously, they can really be a great resource that you can always turn to. Do a search on google, for Internet Marketing Forums, hope to see you at a few.
