The places you can use to attract members differ depending on which niche you have selected. In the Internet marketing niche, you can go to forums such as the Warrior Forum, Digital Point. Because a substantial number of people interested in online marketing *hang around* at these web properties, they are some of the best places to look for members. Because of spammer activity in the past, often times Forums are sensitive in terms of how you advertise in them, so keep reading.
The most common way to use Forums commercially without paying for the privilege involves first respecting the fact that others don’t want to be spammed. We suggest that you register, read a few existing posts to get the flavor of the conversations, then contribute to the ongoing conversations without leaving a signature. Just comment meaningfully.
After a day or two or when others comment on your comments, go back into your profile and add a sig that includes just one of your web properties. Behave like the exemplary citizen Kane by commenting and being responsive to others, then sometime in week two, add another website link inside your forum signature. This signature appears underneath every comment that you make, so twenty comments per day on ten sites gives you 20 more ways that people can find your site and your material.
This isn’t the only way to use forums but it is the cheapest and possibly the easiest. Remember too that you can contact the Forum owner and try to buy advertising or check if Yahoo is already being advertised on the site and go into your Google Adwords or Yahoo Search Marketing account and specifically place an ad on that site using “placements”. The point is that forums are a hotspot because this is where members in your niche hang out.
Another thing you can do is advertise with a ppc “pay per click” engine like Yahoo Search marketing. You will be able to target chosen keywords. Remember to focus on very specific keywords so you get the most targeted prospects possible. Try using 3 or 4 word phrases that have low competitiveness and less than 2000 monthly searches. Pay Per Click is a good option because you can pretty much get feedback right away to see if your sales letter is good enough to convert.
Search engine optimization is also something you want to focus on. For organic search results sales pages can rank for certain key terms but more often than not content-based pages do a lot better in terms of serps(Search engine Results Pages). Our advice therefore is that, you should create articles that relate to the niche that your membership website focuses on. Let these articles link back to your conversion page, because they will be search engine bait and can help you get more members.
You can also take advantage of other sites out there. Article syndication has a fairly good record and it is possible to get both the benefits of those who browse the article directories, and there will be times when your content is in the top 10 on the search engine result pages.
Some of the best things in the world are free and the web has a few of these too. Free sites such as Twitter.com, Hubpages.com and WordPress.com are amongst the best out there. You can quickly and easily create webpages that will direct potential clients to the conversion page. This type of marketing also has the additional benefit of getting back links to your website from sites hosting your content.
To Your Membership Site Success!!
