    Ok, I realize that everybody who could read this is already in this
    Forum but this is kind of for my own benefit...

    The first thing you have to do is find a forum in whatever niche
    you are in. It does nobody any good to have someone posting in the
    sports forum a thread about growing Brocolli. You can do a Google
    search for forums in your niche.

    Then you will need to get Involved, Participate, Ask Questions and
    Provide Answers. The most important thing you can do is provide
    Value. Nobody wants to click on the signature of some knuckle head
    who just posts a bunch of affiliate links and provides no value.

    Every comment you make or answer you provide is a chance to get
    someone to click on your link in your signature.

    The signature is the important part of your post obviously. You
    must create a stand out signature that conforms to the rules of
    the forum.

    In conclusion, If you keep participating and stay involved and
    provide VALUE to the forum, people will begin to click on your
    signature and sign up for your offer.

    Please feel free to add to this post as I am interested in other
    ways to use the forums.

    Thanks for Reading,
    Herb

    Well said! Also - it is always good to focus on the quality of your response rather than just barge into every topic and give a generalized opinion on things.

    This kind of goes without being said, but be consistent in your efforts. Make yourself known around the forum. Actually interact with each other. Read other people's post, respond. I can be guilty of this sometimes, but sometimes I just read the question and answer it without even reading what anybody else said. It's silly to repeat what the last guy said.
