There is one very big problem with participating at forums, especially if you’ve been frequenting one for a very long time. Eventually, everything you see has been done and done to death. It’s the same old questions asked time and time again. Even some of the new people start to get tired of them. Well, if you want to really make a hit at the forum you’re at, come up with something different. This article is going to explain.

I’m going to relate a true story to illustrate my point. A few days ago, I came up with a thread where I asked people to share their copy and paste secrets. Now, in a forum where everything is about making money and the usual questions are along the lines of, “How many articles do I have to write to make $100 a day?” it was quite refreshing to see something so, well, different. Even one of the oldest members of the forum remarked in the thread that THIS was a cool topic. And trust me, this person doesn’t say things like that often. Point is, you need to think a little outside the box if you want to make an impression.

Now, how do you do this? Many people would ask what copy and paste has to do with making money. But think about it. All the things that you do that involve typing take a lot of time. Take for example your thank you emails that you send for all your product sales. Imagine having to type each one out by hand. That could be very time consuming and keep you from doing other more productive things. However, by having a stock thank you already typed up that you can just copy and paste, you can save yourself hours of time and free yourself up to do other things.

The key is to look at the main topic of your forum and see if you can think of some subjects that might be a little off the beaten path but still relevant to the forum itself. Sure, it’s going to take a bit of thought. After all, the common topics are easy to think of. People are doing it all the time. It’s when you think outside of the box that you’re going to get other members to notice. And when THAT happens, they’ll begin to notice you. They’ll start to look for your contributions. You’ll become a respected member and contributor. This is how reputations are made.

So the next time you go to your favorite forum, think about how you can contribute to the forum in a unique way. It just might be the best thing you’ve ever done there.

To YOUR Success,

Steven Wagenheim
