First of all, I want to give a big kudos to this forum WF for the insight It has given me regarding anything on Internet Marketing to Information Marketing and more.
When I mean wFI also mean people here who share a selfless information, ideas and thoughts that have been help to newbie here.

Here is my story:

From the successful stories I read here, I sat myself to think on what to do. Immediately a thought came to me saying.

" Paul you have been a member of one of your country forum.....though the forum is not a targeted forum like WF but deals with difference discussion topics like health, sport, Internet business, romance, and more all in one forum".



The thought continue.... Do something using that forum for now. Yes, I have been participating on this well known forum for at least 2yrs now and have made lots of posts and contributions.

Now it is time to leverage from the forum but the question can" what do you have to offer to these people so they can wilily give you the money you need? I'm an information marketer by training. i decided to package an info product for them.

I decided to target one of the forum section 'romance sections". I spend some time on the section studying what questions they are asking much and the threads that's drawing more of their attention. After then I can up with a unique info topic.

Before I start packaging the info, I decided to contact the admin of the forum. Introduce myself to him and ask him if he can partner with me.

I have an information product I want to introduce to your forum members on romance section, try much to convince him on how helpful the product will be to them.

Then I told him I want it be a win and win basis, I will create he product, then he will introduce it to them by himself or he will allow me to advertise it directly to them then he endorse it. [even though I understood that advertising is not allowed on the forum]

I explained to him win and win basis will be 50 50 from all the sales. I continue..... if he by any means doubting this ideas, I will clear off that doubt by first send the info product to him 1st after creating it so he can see the value of the information and secondly he can use his own payment processor or bank account [b/c it is a local sales] to receive the payment from the product, then after the close of the sales he pays me my 50%.

He agreed, in the next 48hrs I'm up with the product and it's sales letter. He posted it himself and recommend it to all the members of the romance forum section.

Sales starts coming....i made it to be a scarcity product given it only 7 days before it will close. After the 7 days we made 241 sales.

The price is $17 eqvilate to our local currency.

$17 multiplied by 241 sales = $4,097

That's how I earned 50% commission of $2,048.


It was like a dream to me. Not only that this has resulted a lot of collaboration and job for the forum admin. He is asking me now to create different info products for me personally. Which I know will involve some good cash.

It all begins with ideas. Before I drop me mouse, I want to encourage the newbie here
To put any idea you have or have gotten here into action. Avoid procrastination.

Here is lessons to learn:
I.it all start with an idea [some times you need to separate yourself, switch off the phones and think]


II.I discovered a problem on one of the forum section and get the solution for them [money will keep chasing around if you have a mindset of solving people's problem]


III.I enter into JV partnership with the admin [you don't need to have it all and don't be afraid or greedy to share your idea with someone else]


IV.In the process, I discovered people will pay anything to get their problem solve [information product can do that as well as any other method]


V.The relationship b/w me and the forum admin has given birth to other business opportunities [satisfy your partner, client or customers can result to more business opportunities for you]


VI.I took action [don't stop thinking about it , DO IT. What brings the result is the doing part of it]


VII.I'm now teaching him how he can leverage more from his forum and its members just like Allen is doing here on WF. [Learn how to do so through any of your sales funnel such as your own forum, list and more].


Viii. I implemented the idea i got here locally [any online marketing stragetise can also work offline] learn it online and introduce it to your online or offline business.


Thanks for taking time to read my story....i will glad to read yours someday if only you can take ACTION today.

    There's so many opportunities out there.

    Working with forum owners in your niche is ideal - your ideal customer is usually extremely interested in the subject, and is constantly seeing the advert.

    Nice story.

      Joe Motion, you are right. some times these people dont know what to do with what they have. you just come up with the sound idea, then you are in.

      Sometimes they can even finance the idea for you even if you dont have any cash, in as much as they are going to benefit from it.

      It doesnt only work for forum owners , this strategies can also work for company owners, publishers, organizations and more.

      Just come up with what will make someone life better and i bet you, you will also indirectly make yourself better too. That was what happened to me.

      Thank You All.
