Part two (if you missed part 1 go here increase website traffic thru forum marketing)
That’s why those you see on TV are automatically given tremendous weight because the third-party credibility of being on a TV show causes people to automatically trust what they say. Because when you see it on TV it must be true right.
Of course you and I know this is all but the general public believes if it’s on TV then it must be true.
That’s a very flawed if then statement be that as it may you can take advantage of this.
We are just more apt to believe what somebody says about someone else man about what that someone else says about themselves.
That’s kind of convoluted so let me break it down for you.
When I say something good about myself you might be inclined to believe it based on the past experiences you have with me and I’ll truthful and trustworthy you believe me to be based on those experiences.
Now, when you say something good about me to your friends and they are much more inclined leave what you said about me then they would be if I had said that very same thing about myself to them.
When your marketing and forums to get more website visitors onto your page the same principle applies because it is a universal human psychology principle. This is very basic stuff but it is also very powerful stuff.
Now you probably posted in forums already and have a reputation built up. When you come out with a new product or she can include a link in your signature(most forms allow you to have a custom signature where you can advertise your products and websites) and you will definitely get some Web traffic from that.
However, when you team up with someone else and they go and answer questions in a form where they are he had credibility have done a number of posts it’s way more powerful. They direct people to your page because they say how good you are and it directs people to your website right from with in their answer.
This is very viable for you because they are a unbiased neutral third party just doing good by the other forum members recommending a great product they’ve found. Of course that product is yours and you orchestrated the whole thing by teaming up with this person.
This assumes that you are in the same market they are and you will do the same for their product in the forums where you have already made a great deal of posts and have a good reputation. That way you both get the maximum benefit from this strategy.
In part three we’ll talk about a subtle twists on this concept.
