So, Who is Going to Buy From Me?
When you think about marketing / selling either online or off, is that not one of the first questions that comes to mind? It can be a question which inspires you to shape your marketing message and target your audience or it can send you running off into the night screaming in frustration.
From a focusing standpoint, the question “who is going to buy from me?” is one which demands you define what you are going to sell, what need or want it fills for your customers and what size of market you can expect to reach.

Jason Lee Miller wrote a good piece on the subject back in March, well worth the read.

You just have to type in “forums” on your favorite search engine and see the result for yourself. It would give you some idea of the popularity of online forums. And it is not just about any specific forum. You type in “Business Forums,” “Marketing Forums,” “Network Marketing Forums” or any other variation and see thousands of results being displayed.
The thing about forums is that you find diverse kind of people. Some of them would be experts in their fields while there are many who are just starting. Forums are the best places to meet and communicate with a whole lot of people. You can learn and exchange ideas on a number of topics as per your preference. What should now be understood is that you can use forums as a very effective platform to advertise yourself and your business.
You would find that when you register for a forum you are given the option to add a “signature” where you can write a few lines (3-4) about you or your company. And when you post in a forum, this signature of yours, get displayed with it. What this means is that you are able to advertise your company free of cost and without any added effort.
