How to building a massive downline using forums


How to find potential affiliates for your downline
There are many webmaster and business related forums on the internet. These
forums are great for recruiting other affiliates for your downline. You can use
English and foreign webmaster forums, as the majority of webmasters know
English really well.
You can recruit 2nd tier affiliates into your downline using two approaches:
• Posting in opportunity / advertising sections
• Advertising through signatures while participating in a thread
discussion
Posting in opportunity / advertising sections
The name of this method is self explanatory. Many of forums have a special
section devoted for advertising posts. These sections usually aren’t very popular
between visitors, but still you can expect a some decent traffic from there.
To use this approach you will need to:
• Sign up to the forum
• Prepare a great title and text post (check spelling mistakes, check links)
• Before posting, use the preview function to double check
• Post it in the most busiest time of the day
• Make sure after a couple days or even hours to post again in the same
post to get it back to the top, or “bump” your thread. The post can contain
some useful information, extra details, etc.
Advertising through signatures
Advertising using signatures is very popular and effective. Sometimes it can be
considered as direct and sometimes as indirect advertising.
It is important to understand that it’s usually forbidden to spam or abuse in any
way the forum just for the sake of exposure and clicks. Even if it works for some
time, eventually administration may ban your account, so read their rules.
Luckily there are many legit ways to advertise and getting clicks while being
perceived as positive person on forum at the same time. It can be explained
simply: ask or answer appropriate questions, add value to the discussion and
people will notice you and your signature.
Signature restrictions or limitations:
• Not all forums allow signatures
• Not all forums allow active links in signatures
• You might need to wait 10 days before you can post links
• You might need to post 50 useful posts before you can use signature/links
• You may need to make X amount of posts before you can start a new
thread.
• etc
The bigger the forum, bigger returns can be expected.
Types of signatures:
• Simple text
• Simple text link
• Banner
• Banner mixed with text and/or text links

Samples:
You can download a huge number of promotional Banners here.
Most mainstream forums will allow having a simple text link in the signature. In
adult forums it’s pretty common to have also banners just like in the example
above. Whatever is the case, try to keep signature simple and easy. You can
promote MoreNiche downline or also MakingYouRicher or both!

It’s important to try not to start a thread about the program you are promoting in
the main forum, because usually you will be accused of spamming - so keep your
profile low.
Try to reply to questions or give opinions or advice. This way you will be playing it
safe. After all – forums are for interaction, exchanging information and finding like
minded people not just for aggressive advertising.

Warning
Never spam or abuse a community. If forum administrators
complain or we notice that you are breaking the rules – your
account may be frozen. It is about businesses building long
term, not spam-and-run away.

Extra strategies
The simplest strategy is to place your affiliate link in a signature or advertising
post, but you can go a couple steps further.
Target a specific page
MoreNiche has a special function that allows you to customize the final landing
page. You can send the potential affiliate to any page on MoreNiche.com.
For example, recruiting weight loss affiliates you could send them straight to the
Proactol’s product page located at: http://www.moreniche.com/proactol.html
You can achieve that by customizing your linking code and adding to it:
&u= http://www.moreniche.com/proactol.html
To your regular link (20$ + 5%)
http://moreniche.com/join.html?w=104872&ttp=3
The final linking code will look like this:
http://moreniche.com/join.html?w=104872&ttp=3&u=http://www.moreniche.com/proactol.html


Set up your own review page

This is the best approach. This gives you two important advantages:
• You are not using the same plain linking code which can be easy tracked
by forum administrators.
• You now have full control over the page they land on. This is especially
beneficial if you are targeting different affiliates, for example, weight loss
affiliates would land on a page where you overview of Proactol and the
benefits of promoting this product. While for adult webmasters it could be
a page with Lovecentria review and different ideas how they could profit
by promoting this product.
Hide your links
The main purpose of hiding your link is to avoid others removing your affiliate ID
from the tracking URL, since webmasters are more savvy than regular customer.
That’s why it’s advisable to hide the links. It’s really easy if you have set up a
separate page on your domain. This means that you can use several methods for
hiding links as written in the MoreNiche guide on “How to hide links”.
