In this article you are going to learn why I sincerely believe that Forum Marketing is the only method you need to make good money online. While you can use other methods to support it, you should be wary of becoming a "jack of all trades and a master of none." If you want the paycheck of a true master, then you must become one, and I am going to share with you three points on why Forum Marketing should be your first choice when you decide that you really want to earn real money online. If you really think about these three reasons, you will agree with me.
Are you ready? Here are the three reasons:
Reason #1: Quick Money
Making money online can be difficult, painstaking work that takes a long time to pay off. However, there are some very quick ways to make money through Forum Marketing. I made my first sale on my first day, after making only four posts with affiliate promotional links in them. A lot of other people have had similar results. Of course the money is not steady, you need to build a list and a real business if you want steady money. But if you need to make money very quickly, for example within a week, forums are absolutely the way to go.
Reason #2: Long Term Money
Even more important for me is that forums are among the best ways to make good, long-term money. Many so-called experts say that forums have been around almost as long as the Internet, and they are dead wrong. Forum Marketing and Article Marketing have been around for thousands and thousands of years before electricity, and even more so computers and the Internet. The concept of people getting together to talk about things they have in common is truly ancient, and clever marketers have always taken advantage of these groups to promote their agenda and their products or services. What is so powerful about Forum Marketing on the Internet is that for the first time you can simultaneously be involved in literally dozens of forums as the same time, getting your message out to more people than ever before in history.
Reason #3: Multiple Paths to Money
Of course another wonderful reason for marketing in forums, just as in the offline world, is that there are tons of ways to make money. Many people start by selling affiliate products, while others develop their own products or strive to drive traffic to various other money making tools. Personally, I most prefer to use them to drive traffic to my list and sell them my own products, but there are many times when the opportunity to promote an affiliate product opens up, and of course I am in position to take advantage of that as well. Finally, perhaps the most profitable way to make money from forums is to run your own! In addition to having complete control over the forum, you can actually sell the advertising space for steady profit as well.
Do you want to learn to make real money online by learning to use Forum Marketing the correct way?

The Basics of Domain Name Flipping for Profit
The URL of any website is called its Domain Name. Flipping is the art of buying something cheaply and then selling it quickly for a profit. Buy it and flip it - simple! The difficult part is figuring out how to pick a domain name among the millions of available names. Here are the three biggest factors in picking a Domain Name to flip: Demand for the name, the Extension, and Pricing.
Desire for a specific Domain Name is crucial. The best names have keywords in them that people are looking for. This is why Domains like Buy.com, pets.com, bestbuy.com, and shoes.com are worth so much. These Domains are short and describe exactly what you are getting from their domain. Of course, it looks like all the good Domain Names have already been taken. Wrong! New domains are being registered every day.
What you need to do is figure out what topics or keywords people are searching for and integrate those words into your domain name. So, when your Domain has a keyword in it that people are searching for, it makes sense that people will naturally be attracted to that url. Google Trends and Google Keyword Tool are free and can help you figure out what the latest hot topics are. You can look through your own search history and see what YOU have been searching for. If you searched for it, chances are that others are making the same searches too.
Once you have about ten keywords or topics that you think might make a good domain name, now is when we search to see if the domain is already taken, and if so, what we can do about it. For example, I just went to bluehost - you can use your favorite registration company of course - and looked up murphybed, because I want to start a site on murphy beds. Murphybed.com is taken. Bluehost - and many other registrars make suggestions for alternate names - so bluehost suggested a bunch of different names with murphybed in them such as: murphybeddesign, HotMurphyBed, AllMurphyBed, MurphyBedGroup, topmurphybed and so on. The list of names can get large and complicated fast, so I like to put them in a spreadsheet, along with my rating of the name, the domain extension, and cost.
In addition to the Domain Name itself, the extension of the Domain is critical. I know a lot of people who won't purchase anything that doesn't have a.com extension, but there are many extensions available, including.net,.info,.org,.biz, and so on. There are no restrictions on those extensions, so you can use a.org even if you aren't an organization. I like to stick with the top 3 -.com,.net, and.org. The best one is.com.
The pricing of a domain for sale is variable and completely up to the seller. Typically the.coms have a higher value, but any website that has an easy to read domain name, with a major extension can get traffic, and therefore have value.
So now that you have a domain name registered, it's time to make some money on it! Put it up for auction on a site like eBay.com. I looked today and there were 71 pages of domain names for sale. Another option would be a specialty auction site like sedo.com which bills itself as the World's Largest Domain Marketplace. Put your Domains up for sale and keep track of what sells and how much it sells for. You will find that there are some keyword modifiers that you can add to most any topic that makes it worth a lot more.
Give it a shot and let me know how it goes!

Forum Marketing - The Case Against SEO
The reason that most people believe in SEO is that they can easily understand it. Most people have at some point used a search engine to find something they wanted, and probably clicked on the listings on the first page. So it is only natural for them to believe that if they work to get their own site on the front page of the popular search engines, people will click on their websites as well. Those who have been involved with Internet Marketing realize they can make some money off of this tendency by selling "How To" information on search engine optimization, as well as services and software that help with the process. The result is that a lot of people work very hard to make a small amount of money. We are going to discuss a few of the problems with SEO in this article.
Are you ready? Here we go:
Reason #1: SEO is absolutely NOT free!
Many people think they are getting targeted traffic to their websites for free, meaning that people who are actually interested in what their website is about will go to their website and it will cost them nothing. This is simply not true. In order to get listed in the first page of Google, for example, you either have to put in a lot of time-consuming work, or you have to pay someone else to do work for you. Most people value their time, and I certainly do as well. The outcome of SEO is that you make less than minimum wage in most cases, and often do not get the results you thought you would have. In using Internet forums to market, however, I can interact with customers and clients in a way that still takes my time, but is extremely profitable.
Reason #2: SEO is NOT targeted traffic!
Sure, people search according to keywords, and that is the best that computers can do. But human beings don't think in keywords, they think in ideas and concepts. As a matter of fact, most of the time when I search for something in the major search engines, I have to go through quite a few links and websites before I finally find what I am looking for. So far, no search engine has ever purchased anything from me. Only real, living people buy from me. That is why I spend my time in the forums, where I can find people who are really looking for the kind of information that I offer.
Reason #3: SEO has terrible conversion rates!
Now, there may be some rare exceptions, for example when you are selling a non-competitive physical product, or if you are advertising a local business or service. For the most part, however, especially if you are selling Information, people who are looking for things online want what they are seeking for free. Now I don't know about you, but I am not in the business of giving away things for free! Sure, you might give away something for building your opt-in list, and I do that too... But everyone who signs-up understands that I am going to try to sell them something later.
Now THAT is targeted traffic! As an obsessive tester, however, I have found that even when my sites reached the top four results in Google for my keywords and were bringing me some traffic, it had very low conversions compared to better forms of traffic. Because I get to know people in forums so well, however, it is a simple matter to obtain very high conversion rates.
Forum Marketing, when done correctly, is far superior to SEO in every way, and it takes less time.
