Let me invite you to join us in the Entrepreneur Forums, a free membership site that offers support and advice to entrepreneurs and small business operators of all kinds. It is truly a friendly entrepreneur community.

Online business and marketing forums have taken a hit in recent years due to the influx of next generation Social Networking sites. Membership and activity in many online forums is down, but that doesn’t mean the forums have lost their value: quite the contrary.

When Social Media sites first became popular they were not very business-friendly. You could easily be banned from a Social site for promoting or even mentioning your home business opportunities.

Since that time, some of the Social sites have “smartened up” and have adapted to allow entrepreneurs to market their products and services. … Read the rest of this entry

Here are a few forum marketing tips for website traffic because I believe online marketing forums are still a good source of traffic and branding if approached properly. Forums, to me, were the forerunners to today’s social media sites.

The best way to market in online forums is to become an active and contributing member. Provide quality information, answer questions and generally be helpful in any way possible. Your aim is to establish yourself as an authority in your niche, but leave the promoting and selling to your own website.

The two most important things you should do when you join a forum, before you begin posting, is review the guidelines for that forum, and set up your member profile and forum signature. … Read the rest of this entry

It has been more than three years since I joined the Entrepreneur Forums at EvanCarmichael.com. I’ve made many new friends, have benefited from an incredible amount of insight and have gained some great business exposure.

Many online business and marketing forums have taken a hit these days, what with the dominance of so many social networking sites. But forums still have their place in the overall scheme of things and smart marketers will keep their foot in the door of at least a few forums. It just makes sense to use a variety of marketing methods and maintain a presence in a variety of online social sites, including traditional forums.

I have found the Entrepreneur Forums to truly be a friendly entrepreneur community. You may find friendly Internet Marketers wherever you go, but the Entrepreneur Forums seem to promote the friendly, supportive atmosphere more than some other similar sites that you may visit. … Read the rest of this entry

Friends, readers, entrepreneurs … lend me your ears … um, I mean, your eyes! I have something wonderful to share with you and I have a recommendation, if you are interested in the benefits of a Friendly Entrepreneur Community where you can exchange ideas, insight and marketing information.

First, the recommendation.

Some of you know that I am active in a few online business and marketing forums and that I am a big promoter of the informational and networking value of these forums. You may also have noticed that since my Affiliate Power website was launched earlier this year, I have shown enthusiastic support here for one particular forum site – the Entrepreneur Forums at EvanCarmichael.com.

If you spend a few minutes visiting the Entrepreneur Forums, you will find that it truly is a Friendly Entrepreneur Community. And what does that mean?

Well, I can tell you from experience that every forum site online has its own personality. Some are extremely formal. Some are extremely relaxed, where anything goes. Some are geared mostly to “experienced” marketers and seem to show little tolerance and sensitivity to the inexperience of “newbies” – those new to business and marketing.

The Entrepreneur Forums combines the best of all worlds … Read the rest of this entry

You may have noticed: the competition is getting tougher for anybody trying to build a business online these days because everybody seems to be jumping on the Internet bandwagon. And quite a few of them are discovering ways to earn home business income the hard way. Maybe you can relate?

A lot of Internet and Affiliate Marketing “newbies” get in a real rush and try to skip some important steps in the marketing process. For example, they jump right into the advertising and marketing part before taking the time to learn and apply proper search engine optimization techniques. Web traffic is one of the keys to success, and search engine traffic can be very profitable because traffic from the search engines is typically targeted traffic. But if you fail to optimize your site, your blog, your articles, etc., you could miss out on some valuable traffic and sales. It will take you longer to make money online and that’s one way that could cause you to earn home business income the hard way. Take time to research and learn more about Search Engine Optimization.

Another way to build a business the hard way is to jump from program to program thinking the problem is the program when it could simply be your own marketing skills that need work. In many cases, if a product or program is not producing the desired results, it’s because either… Read the rest of this entry
