Seven Must Follow Rules While Participating In Message Boards
Radhika Venkata
Participating in message boards forums discussions is a great way of self promotion. It costs you nothing. Not even a penny. All you have to do is allot sometime for this type of promotion.
Before you getting started you need to know some must follow principles. You want your time to be profitable for you. Right So what ever time you are gonna spend should bring you some profits.
What are those principles
***1. Target your promotion:***
If you are search engine optimization expert, then you will be benefited by search engine forums. People coming to those forums need help in their web site optimization. If you are willing to share your knowledge with those people, you will gain their confidence and needless to say few customers too.
***2. Always follow the forum rules:***
In some forums or some areas of forums self promotion is not allowed. At the same time, some sub-forums are alloted to post your product advertisement. So read carefully before posting your product details anywhere on the forum.
***3. Use signature files:***
Almost all the forums allow signature files. These may be less than 4 lines or less than some 250 characters. This varies from forum to forum. So be concise with your wording.
Most IMPORATNT advice is always offer something free in your signature file. Free report on how to increase sales, free email course on how to design a web site that pulls orders or any topic that focuses on your web site theme. This always beats keeping your product price in your signature file. You can built your opt-in list too.
In signature files DONT hide URL with Click here as link text. Let people accustom to your web site name or your product name. If you just use as Click here instead of SEO tips and tricks, it looks dull and less interesting.
***4. Change the heading while answering a question:***
If somebody ask a question like - What are web site promotion methods.
In reply you can change the heading to what ever you want instead of Re:What are web site promotion methods
You can keep an interesting heading to make your post prominent from others. Like FOUR best methods to start with... or Advertising with out spending a penny. etc. These type of headings certainly attracts peoples eyes.
***5. Give respect to others opinions:***
Dont say harsh words even though you know what other person saying is wrong. Be polite. What you want to say tell it clearly and concisely.
If you dont know a topic still you want to comment on that, add in my opinion..., as far i know... etc. Point out to resources if you know any.
***6. Follow up the thread:***
If you start participating in a thread, then check the box that says Email Notification. When ever somebody replies your question, email will be sent to you. So you can post a reply or follow others answers and opinions.
What is the use of this =You may end up with learning something from that discussion =It could be a topic for your next ezine article or ebook or a report =You can get to know of people of that thread
***7. Every day allot some time:***
Save the forum URLs in your favorites folder. Everyday try to visit them regularly. By this you can know the what is going on around you. You may know good resources and free information links that are useful to you. If you come across any information that is useful to you save them on your computer.

*****Five Advanced and Essentials features of a follow up autoresponder:
1. Personalization of Your emails:
If your subscriber sees his/her name in the subject field, they will stop a second at your email. Well... its human nature to respond to their names. Once they stop at your email subject, more chances of clicking on your email and go in to the message.

Advanced feature that needs some email forwarders to redirect subscribers emails to the cgi script. In this feature you can offer un/subscriptions through emails apart from form subscriptions.
3. Broadcast emails:
Broadcast emails also called one-time emails. Means instead of follow up emails at specific intervals, you can send promotional emails, ezines to your subscribers one time.
4. Bounced emails:
Very good feature. You can use this feature to clean up your lists. Your host will be happy as bounced emails uses the server resources and you delete them with your autoresponder script. Some free email services put your emails as spam or your subscriber no longer at their subscribed email or other problems like your subscriber email server is not working at the time of your emailings... Any of these reasons. The email will bounce back to your server. All these emails should be cleaned up once in a while, otherwise your host will send you email telling you are using too many resources.
5. Custom fields:
These are the fields to keep certain text in their text areas and if you keep the defined tag, the script replaces it with the text you provided. Great for keeping ads, signatures, links in your emails.
