Forum marketing can be a highly productive way to market your internet business, but only if you use it correctly.  Most advice about forum marketing isn’t the most productive in the world.  “Show up on forums,” it tells you.  “Read everything in sight.  Then start making those useful, informative comments that will brand you as an expert.”

Approaching a forum this way can be bewildering and frightening.  What if there are no topics that are custom-designed to show off what an expert you are?  What if you’re not an expert at all, what then?

There’s something very artificial about approaching forums this way, something which causes marketers to forget the overall aim in forum marketing.  It’s not just about finding a dozen places to post up back links.  It’s about becoming known to the overall internet community and about connecting with other people who think your niche is important.  It’s almost impossible to build relationships when you’re approaching forums in such a stilted way.

It would almost be better if forum marketing were simply called “forum participation.”  It’s easy enough to set up your signature line so that it includes a few links, but everybody knows that’s only a part of the battle.  You really have to be someone that other people know, like, and trust.  We humans are inherently capable of telling when someone is only there to make a sale—which means that you’ll never really achieve the full effect of your participation by approaching things with the sale in mind.

What if, instead of looking for some place to be “useful and informative,” you approached forums by looking for interesting conversations to join, and then joining them?  You still avoid the ubiquitous “nice post, very informative” posts which litter the internet, but you also avoid approaching the forum like a bloodthirsty marketer on the hunt.  You approach the topics naturally, like a drifter at a party who mingles in and out of different conversational circles.  You talk about what interests you and what’s important to you.  You acknowledge other people’s opinions and respond to them.  The clicks on your signature links, and the reputation as an expert, come later, because you’re focusing your productivity where it counts—on the relationships that you are building.

It’s easy to feel like you’re just wasting time on forums when you do this, because doing this is a lot more fun than just looking around for ways to be a know-it-all expert.  That’s one of the secrets of true productivity in the internet marketing world—done right it really is a lot like fun, a lot like having conversations with people you actually like.  It may be that your posts are interesting and informative, but they’re often just as effective if they are merely human.  You can control your time by setting a post limit on each day—3 to 5 posts, say, or an hour spent scanning and scouring the forums before going on to nurture other parts of your business.  Some days, you might not post at all, because you just don’t have anything to say.  And that’s okay.  When it comes to forums, honest participation trumps “marketing” any day of the week.

Internet marketing productivity can sometimes be a difficult skill to master.  That’s because productivity often implies tasks which are neatly measurable and which produce direct results.  Most internet marketing, however, is all about building relationships and getting your name and website out to the people who might be interested in it, all while unselfishly building value and meeting the needs of your customers.  Such efforts can be very difficult to track.

Here’s an example to help you see the problem.  You’ve decided to take on forum marketing as a way to build back links.  It takes you 20 minutes to find a suitable forum and 5 more minutes to build your profile.  You know you have to be “useful and interesting” when you post to the forum, so you spend another 2 hours looking around the forum to see what’s already been said.  By then, you’ve found perhaps 3 threads you feel confident about speaking to.  You spend 15 minutes composing posts.  Is that productivity, or have you just wasted a lot of time?  After all, 3 back links is not a lot—and you’ve spent almost 3 hours on the task.  No wonder the too-good-to-be-true automated software “spammer” packages turn out to be so tempting!

However, if you’re treating internet marketing as a process then you’ll realize you haven’t done too badly.  Let’s say that forum marketing is pretty much going to be your focus for the time being.  So you’ve created a 3 hour workday if you don’t do anything else for your site.  Now let’s imagine for a moment that you manage to get 3 posts out 5 days a week.  At the end of one month you’ll have 60 posts that are all very good posts.  You don’t look like a spammer because you’ve taken the time to build the relationships and offer the value.  Your 60 posts are suddenly much more meaningful because more people are going to have a lot more reasons to click on the links in your signature bar—you’ve made a name for yourself on that forum, and you’ve built trust that you couldn’t have built by blitzing 60 links in a single day.  At the end of one year you’d have created 720 different places for people to find you.  Given that Google actually indexes forum content fairly quickly and given the content of forum threads does show up in Google search results you will have generated quite a lot of traffic.

“Hitting your stride” on that forum might mean that it takes you only an hour to jump back into the conversations, say what you’ve got to say, and get on with your day.  You have a process that both builds on itself and gets shorter with time.  All this means you spend less time and less money searching for a non-existent “magic bullet” solution capable of generating a whole bunch of traffic for you in a matter of seconds.

Internet marketing productivity gets very easy to measure when it’s placed in these terms.  When you understand your efforts this way you can focus on the relationships without allowing yourself to feel frantic or desperate.  In time this approach will pay off, perhaps by making your site a top ranking authority in its niche.

Internet marketers have deceived a lot of new entrepreneurs by painting a poor picture of what internet marketing productivity is all about.  If you listen to many gurus you’ll get an inaccurate picture of your workday.  The average marketer will tell you that it’s all about putting up your website, buying their software package, and waiting (passively) for the profits to roll in.

More realistic entrepreneurs already understand that’s not how it works, but they may not understand exactly what the daily “work” of internet marketing is all about.  This can lead to a few futile, half-hearted blog posts, a few attempts to post a link here and there, and a few other scattered efforts that never amount to very much.  Clicking “refresh” on your blog all day long or hopelessly searching the internet for the latest secret technique is not going to get you to the wealth and riches that you are hoping to receive.

Productivity begins with researching the various tasks associated with internet marketing.  These tasks could be very simple, including:

• Finding and following blogs so that you can participate in the comments section and build back links.
• Creating and submitting guest posts to said blogs to build still more back links, and credibility.
• Posting new content to your blog two times a week.

Of course, these three examples truly only scratch the surface of the wealth of tasks you could be doing to promote your website.  However, they are also examples of concrete work you can be doing.  Assigning a time limit to each task and resolving to perform each task every single working day can put you well on your way towards creating a full, productive day.

The day does not have to be long—that is, after all, the premise behind “The Four Hour Workweek” and other books that have sparked the internet marketing revolution.  It just has to be productive enough to actually achieve the objective of promoting your website.  Websites are found when you take the time to place breadcrumbs (links) leading back to those sites.  You have to work diligently to make those breadcrumbs relevant and visible.  Days of productive trail blazing can eventually lead you to that site which supports itself and which does not require your daily direct intervention, but until it does productivity is a good strategy.

You can think of your plan as a written job description, a contract that you are writing with yourself which outlines everything you are committing to doing in order to be successful.  At the very least, your internet marketing productivity plan will give you a solid start and some sense of what you should be doing.  You can take the time to master the techniques now, so long as you are doing something to promote your business every single day.

Internet marketing productivity is a difficult ideal to grasp specifically because there are so many different techniques to master.  It’s easy to get caught up in a crush of information.  SEO, social media marketing, social bookmarking, forum marketing, article marketing, blog comment marketing, relationship building, community building, pay-per-click advertising, back links and JV partnerships.  Any one of these techniques is not easy to use well.  Every one of these techniques changes on a regular basis, sometimes monthly.  Keeping up can seem like a nightmare.

The solution is remarkably simple, though it might not be easy—pick one method and stick with it until it becomes second nature.  Then, and only then, may you switch methods.

There are a lot of advantages to this tactic.  For one thing, focusing your efforts can’t hurt you.  It’s likely to help you, as a lot of effort on one method will get you farther than scattered efforts across a lot of different methods.

That’s not to say you should neglect the other methods entirely.  Some methods are naturally more long-term than other.  Including keywords in your blog posts, for example, represents a long term marketing method.  You won’t rank for that keyword on your first 10 posts—but you might start to see real results on your 100th.  You might as well include the keywords while you’re doing other things.

But if you’re going to do article marketing, work on article marketing, perhaps to the exclusion of anything else.  Don’t worry about JV partnerships, for example.  Just put out a whole lot of quality articles with their inherent back links, and work that angle until you’ve got hundreds of articles circulating around the internet.  At that point, you’ve reached a sort of “critical mass” of articles and you can turn your attention to finding JV partners.  At that point, you’ll see enough traffic to make it worth the partner’s while.

You’ll also be less stressed-out as you try to keep up with changes in each particular method.  Social media marketers, for example, are now trying to keep up in the changes wrought by Google+–you don’t have to worry about that if you’re busy hammering the article angle at the moment.

The main problem internet marketers generally face is a sort of paralysis that comes with not knowing what to do.  Picking a method and sticking with it allows your internet marketing to overcome that paralysis.  Diversification is good for stock portfolios, but it’s not always the best strategy for someone trying to build an internet empire.
