How to reach out to people not in your niche?

7 replies
Hey Everyone,

I have been trying to figure how to start something for that last hour but am getting stuck so i figure why not Just ask.

So anyway this is the deal.

There is another forum that i belong to a gaming forum for a company its a huge forum loads of members probably as busy as this one which is hard to come by.

The members on the forum probably range from 10-25 most of the members probably being like 17.

Any way in the off topic thread every day i see topics about how to make money online. Because a lot of these forum members spend tons of time on the computer and want to become more productive. So they always are talking about filling out surveys.

So i was wondering what would you say to get them check out your free report ( thats what im trying to do )

And what would your Title be to catch there Attention: How To Make The Big Bucks Online Make Your Parents Proud.

The body would go like:

I was thinking something like: Your parents will be proud of you when they see your first paycheck you earned online instead of the usual "Get off the Computer now!" they will be bragging to there friends that there 17 year old son is now making Bling Bling on the computer....

I know that someone would never say Bling Bling but these kids will like that more lol

If you have any idea's i would really really really really really appreciate it

Thanks,

Eric

    Eric,

    You should try the 'reverse psychology' aspect...

    "How to Piss Your Parents Off by Making More Money Than Them Yourself, Online!!!"

    I betcha this tactic would be much more well received within the target audience you are going for.

      I agree with Jared. There are few things kids like to do more than tick off their parents.

      But also, try following the tried and true method of interacting on forums - get involved with their conversations over a little bit of time, then casually mention something (in response to one of those conversations about making money on line...) like , "yeah, thats a good idea, that is how I make my living and its really easy if you know how to do it" then you simply add: by the way...

      just a thought.

          I think with kids - if you just mention you are making your living on line in response to one of their threads and that you have a free report in your sig or however they do it on that forum, they will come to you. You could incorporate Jared's comment as an off-handed comment in your response:

          "yeah, I do this now, if you want to learn more about it you can get my report at xxxxxx. Wouldn't it be hilarious if you started making more than your parents in the next few months?" (or "wont it be hilarious when you start earning more than your parents..)

          Just a thought.

            That's quite clever jmidas, yeah, your ideas are something for everyone to ponder...

            Keep the great ideas coming everyone! This thread is getting very interesting...
