Reasons Why Forum Are Better Than Blog

Here are 5 reasons you should be participating more in forums instead of blogs:

1. Forums Bring More Traffic.

It is true that forums do bring more traffic because my traffic stats shows. Creating a good signature and posting good content frequently on forums can bring you at least 2000 unique visitors per months.

Here is how you can get more traffic from forums:

Have an attractive signature. Create a signature that say something very beneficial linking to your blog or site.
Be the early bird. Be the first to reply to threads that you know a lot about. Giving intelligent reply to thread will get some clicks.
Create helpful thread. If people like what they read, then they usually will want more from you.
2. Forums Are More Beneficial

Forums are a lot more beneficial and will help you so much more. Many forums are a goldmine to me and if you read blogs…then you realize that many of those blogs do not help you much for the time you spend reading them — except Problogger. Spending time on forums will give you more benefits than spending time reading a blog and here are several reasons why:
Forums have a wide variety of contributors. Many popular forums have members that are making big money online. Their post and knowledge can help you a lot in making money online.
Forums allow discussion. There is not a lot of discussions on blogs. Why would be beneficial to have discussions? Discussion spark new ideas and create more knowledge.
Forums allow anyone to participate. You are allow to ask anything or to say anything as long as it abide by the rules. The respond that you get is in real time and from people who can help you.
Forums allow advertisement. Almost all forums nowadays allow you to have a signature — which is like a form of advertisement. I’m sure you can get decent traffic if you use your signature right.
3. Forums Are More Popular

There are a lot more blogs that exist than forums and this is good. There are only several big name forums out there on Internet Marketing but so many for blogs.

This mean that only a few forums are heavily populated since so many people hear of them. Many of these popular forums have so many members that are really making the money and can help you. Forums are much more populated than blogs and have much more readers.

4. Forums Allow You To Make Money

Many forums allow you to give away free materials or sell your service and goods. You will notice many forums have a section that they allow their member to give away free stuff or even sell their stuff. You can make a lot of money doing this because forums usually sell materials for a lot less and are very valuable.

I have bought a lot of digital products from Warrior Forum and I’m please with most of the investment I made. You could just use this to your advantage by giving away free eBook that have links to your site.

5. The Best Forums Ever

Here are some forums that you will find very helpful and addictive once you stop by them:
Digital Point Forum: Absolutely the best ever if you want to make money online.
Warrior Forum: I love the WSO section on this forum…it is where I buy many valuable and cheap product.
Sitepoint: Another very popular and helpful forum.

Those three are the only forums I have bookmarked and visit. Feel free to recommend me to any other one that you feel is also great.

Conclusion

I really recommend you start reading and participating in those 3 forums if you have not. You will learn a lot and meet people that will help you make more money online.
