How To Build A List Using Forum Marketing
Make sure you check out the terms and policies of the 'popular' forums you find before you do anything else. Some forums do not allow 'signature links'. These forums are not much use, as we only want forums that encourage 'signature links'.
You then sign up for an account at these forums that allow 'signature links' as soon as you can. The aim here is to 'age' your account as most forum users respond positively to people who have been members of a forum for a while.
Spend some time 'hanging' around the forum. Do not post anything yet, just look around, see what the most popular topics are, what are people talking about, what do people need help with etc.
Once you have a 'feel' for a particular forum, you can start posting useful content, helping other users, and actively contributing to the forum. When you've done this for about a week or so, and built up some good posts, other forum members will start to see you as an 'expert' in your niche.
You can now put your 'signature link' after your posts. By this time you have built up a reputation on the forum and other users 'trust' you.
You can link your signature to your squeeze page, give the reader a good reason to want to click on your signature link.
Always try to help people, if you are seen as genuine, you will reap the rewards
