And the reason using forum signatures can generate a lot of greens for you is because they will be seen by a lot of people. Your links will get a lot of exposure.

An Overview of Forums and Forum Posting

There are 1000s of discussion forums on the Internet, covering just about every topic imaginable. Communicating with others who share a common interest is one of the most popular activities online, and forums are a big part of that.

There are forums to discuss anything you might be interested in - religion, politics, hobbies, children and parenting, business, investing, you name it.

To help you get started, hop on over to Big-Boards.com where you can search over 1,800 of the biggest and most popular discussion forums by topic.

Millions and millions of people use Internet discussion forums every day to do research, get questions answered, and just “shoot the bull” with other people.

Chances are you already participate in one or more forums on the Internet.

If so, great - that means you can start using this method right away without any extra effort. If not, maybe you can start and kill two birds with one stone.

Using Forum Signatures to Generate Greens

Forum signatures are practically identical to email signatures. Just about every major discussion forum system will allow you to setup a “signature” that will be automatically added to the bottom of every post that you make.

The difference here is that each of your posts on discussion forums are likely to be seen by anywhere from 10 or 20 to as many as 10,000+ people each!

You never want to talk about IFWs or getting free stuff directly in your posts.

If you do, people will immediately recognize that you are just trying to pitch something to them, and you won’t get the response that you’re looking for.

Instead, simply use the discussion forums the way they are meant to be used - to discuss topics that are relevant to that particular message board - and let the signature at the end of your posts do all the “selling” for you.

If you use forums appropriately you can get a TON of greens this way.

I’ve personally generated 5-10 greens per day over an extended period just by posting to forums “aggressively”, and others have reported similar results!

Things to Know and Helpful Tips for This Method

The key to getting greens from forums is to use them correctly, and keep a few other key strategies in mind to help maximize your results.

To help you get off on the right foot, here is everything you need to know to get tons of greens from forums:

• Maximum ExposureThe key to making this work for you is to get the most bang for your buck. You do this by becoming a member of one or more popular message boards, and participating daily. Look for forums with 1000s of users. It only takes 5-10 minutes to post a few good messages per day.

  The second half of this equation is to participate in the “right” discussions. You’ll normally participate and post in the discussions that you are most interested in - or most knowledgeable about - and that’s fine. After all, that’s how discussion forums are meant to be used.

  Just keep in mind that you are also trying to get your signature seen by as many people as possible, as often as possible. You can tip the odds in your favor by participating in the most active or most popular “threads” - which are often viewed by 1000s of people - as often as possible.

  Another thing you can do to reduce your workload is to occasionally “bump” your own posts. To bump a forum post, or thread, simply means to make a reply to your own post so that it gets moved up or “bumped” to the top.

  Generally speaking, the threads at the top of the list in any forum will get more attention and participation - which is a good thing for you. Just be sure you are actually adding value each time you post.

• Customize Your SignatureThe other big recommendation we have is to match your signature to the topics of the discussion forum whenever possible. This will make a HUGE difference for you, so please be sure that you do this.

  For example, if you’re posting in a forum full of video game players, a signature mentioning how anyone can get a free XBOX 360 would be a perfect match - because your audience is likely to be interested in that.

  On the other hand, if you’re posting in a parenting forum visited mostly by mothers, a signature about getting a free designer handbag would be a perfect match. Or anything else parents and mothers are interested in.

  Do not underestimate the power of matching your signature to the forum.

That’s really all there is to it. Forums are a highly-effective and easy way to generate greens, and if you like to participate in forums you can really focus on this method and make good money doing what you enjoy.

Even if for some strange reason you have no interest in doing this, we highly recommend you spend 5-10 minutes a day doing it anyway. That’s not much time at all and it will be well worth it, because this method works very well.
