The Fastest Way to Submit Your Advertising or Announcements to Forums WITHOUT Buying Software by Kirkham
Don't get me wrong, I love automation software and even write it myself, but there's a very simple way to submit your ads quickly to forums WITHOUT buying software and WITHOUT missing other advertising opportunities in the forums. Here's how you do it and I'll provide a great resource as well...!
What
is a Forum?
I
hope you're not that new, but even if you are forums are a great
place to both learn and advertise your products and services. A
forum is a special type of website which allows users to post
questions, answers and advertisements.
Can
I Make Money Advertising in Forums?
Yes
you can! Both short term, by other posters seeing your
advertisements and long term by creating backlinks to your website
in both your significant file and your actual announcements
Does
That Mean I Need a Website to Post to Forums?
No,
you don't need a website to post to forums, however, if you're
serious about being in business you should have an office where
people can walk in and see your products and services. On the
internet your office is your website. If you're planning on making
long term money on the internet, you should get
an office, I mean website.
What
Is A Signature File?
A
signature file is text or graphics that appears at the bottom of
all your posts. It's created in your profile (don't worry you'll
find it) and should contain a short soft sales pitch and link to
your site. Don't get them to buy in the sig file just get the
other users and guests to click your link. All forums have
different rules about sig files. Since I'm both a marketer and a
family man I tend to be pretty lenient with my forums and do my
best to help my members feed their families. They, general return
the favor if I recommend a product or service.
Okay,
I Understand, But It Sounds Time Consuming. What is This Fast
Method You Have to Post to Forums?
There
are five steps toward preparing to post quickly to forums
1.
Prepare your ad copy or announcement
2. Join Forums and
set some items up
3. Know how to copy and paste (don't
worry I'll explain it)
4. Learn the keyboard shortcut for
posting
5. List your forums a particular way
1.
Prepare Your Ad Copy or Announcement
I
won't go into what
advertisements require to be successful That's for another
article or book, but I will discuss the formatting.
Make
the subject of your post the first line in your text file. Below
that put your sales pitch designed to get your prospect to click
on your hyperlink. Place any subscription information you have in
there as well. Put your hyperlink at the bottom of your text.
Remember to use http:// To make your link active.
2.
Join Forums And Set Some Items Up
After
you join you'll usually get an email to activate your membership.
When you click the link to do this log yourself in "Forever".
If you have a choice of internet browsers use Firefox. It's free
and gives you the option to remember your username and password.
When you log in, set the forum up to log in "forever".
This will save you a lot of time later.
3.
Know How to Copy and Paste (Don't Worry I'll Explain It)
Create
an email or if you know how an html
document with hyperlinks.
Now here's your time saving
shortcut:
Find the board in the forum that allows you to
place an advertisement.
Left mouse click on New Topic
within that board. Sometimes it says New Post.
Click in
the address bar on top of your browser
Right mouse click
Left mouse click on Copy
Open
your email or web page editor
Left mouse click in the body
of your email or html editor
Right mouse click in the body
of the email
Do a number of these and send the email to
yourself. You now have a list of links in your email which will
open a section to post your announcement immediately thus saving
you approximately five clicks per post.
4.
Learn the Keyboard Shortcut for Posting
If
you're using Internet Explorer Alt s can be used to submit your
post. I tried this with Firefox and it didn't work. You can use
your mouse to left mouse click on the Submit button below your
advertisement.
5.
List your forums a particular way
The
preparation work you did in your html editor or email now gives
you automatic access to the New Post section of your forums.
Sending
Your Advertisement or Announcement As Quickly As Possible
Open
your text file announcement and keep it open.
Left mouse
click in the body of your advertisement
On your keyboard
select Ctrl a This will select all text in your advertisement
On
your keyboard select Ctrl c This will copy your advertisement to
your clipboard on your personal computer.
Once this is in
your clipboard you do not need to redo this procedure unless you
copy something to your clipboard. Thus the reason for keeping your
advertisement text file open.
Now open your clickable list
of forums
Left mouse click on an appropriate forum. It
will open to the new post section.
Left mouse click in the
Subject line.
On your keyboard press Ctrl v This will copy
the clipboard into the subject line. If you set up your ad
correctly your subject is the first line of your ad. Your entire
subject may not appear to to length limitations. This makes an
even better reason for repeating your subject in the body of your
post.
On your keyboard press the Tab key until your cursor
is in the body of the New Post
On your keyboard press Ctrl
v Your entire advertisement will now be in the body of the New
Post
If you're using Internet Explore on your keyboard Alt
s will Submit your post. If not left mouse click on Submit or Post
depending on the forum.
Your post has now been submitted.
You may now close that browser. If you wish to use a shortcut key
for this on your keyboard Ctrl w will close a window. You may now
repeat the procedure by clicking on another New Post forum link.
Remember, you do not need to recopy your add. It's still in your
clipboard.
Conclusion
I began using computers before a mouse was standard. I do find these keyboard shortcuts to be faster and easier on this writer's carpal tunneled hand. Regardless of whether you prefer mouse or keyboard shortcuts, the setup guidelines will save you a lot of time during submissions of your work.
