A unique feature of the Warrior Forum is its Warrior Special Offer subforum, where established members with over thirty posts are allowed to sell products or services to other members. The two main conditions of these WSO’s as they are called are that they must be proprietary products or services and that their prices for Warriors must be exclusively discounted. A handful of savvy marketers have been able to take advantage of this forum and generate mid-to-high 5 figure incomes by selling their products and services on it.

During the peak hours of the day, the general discussion section of the forum is very busy and new threads that are posted there at these times are usually responded to within minutes. There are always opportunities for you to chime in to ask a question, post a comment, or answer a question. Members of this forum frown upon short posts that don’t contribute in any way such as “nice post”. However, if you make a genuine effort to contribute to the community, you’ll eventually start to make a name for yourself.

It is very easy to spot trends just by visiting the general discussion section of the forum. For example, two of the hottest trends in this forum during early 2009 were offline gold and Twitter marketing. There are three secrets to creating a wildly successful business on the Warrior Forum. The first option is to recognize these trends and establish yourself as an expert in one of these areas. Alternatively, establishing yourself as an expert in any field, whether you’re offering a product or service, will make you very popular amongst forum members. The last secret to success is to provide a service that everybody needs and to do it exceptionally well. Services that are always high in demand are content creation, link building, and graphic design.

The Warrior Forum is a tight knit community where people are always trying to answer your questions and giving you valuable advice. By becoming one of the people who answer the questions and give the advice, you’ll be positioning yourself as an expert. Warriors who realize this will often mention you in their posts if you are able to solve a problem that a member has. You’ll find that as you establish yourself on the forum, more and more people will get to know you. If people are impressed with you, then they will reward you by starting a viral campaign within the forum and possibly outside the forum as well telling others how valuable your product or service is and how it can help others.

This technology allows you to play any of the games associated with it on television or on your computer. Players no longer have to spend money every time they need a new gaming card for their games console as this technology means that people can play these games without having to use an expensive games console.

Cloud gaming has a large following and there are forums and news sites that are dedicated to this technology and provide players with the latest information on new games. Players can now play games like the popular Crysis on both low definition and high end televisions and computers. With Cloud technology the games are located on a large external server.

The server then sends out sounds and clips of the latest games over the internet so that those people who want to play the games can pick them up. Because the games are processed at lightening speed over the internet you can be playing a game that may only just have been advertised a couple of minutes previously.

Lovers of Cloud technology use the gaming forums to talk about the latest games and the best techniques for playing them. Players can access the latest games once they have activated the browser plug-in and downloaded the free software which is a lot less than you would pay for any of the games consoles on sale..

Players can access the service over the internet using only their Broadband connection, which means that this technology has actually revolutionized the way computer games are played. You don’t have to purchase the game immediately because you can access a demo of most of the games, which means that players only actually buy the games that they are really interested in. When you play games this way it means that you can interact with other players in real time.

Cloud technology harnesses the power of the internet for gaming; because this technology is so powerful games are far less likely to crash than they are when you use an expensive games console.

Games consoles can be restrictive when it comes to the kind of games that you can access, Cloud technology has brought an end to that because the technology supports all kinds of computer and video games. As more people play games over the internet instead of on a games console there is now a rapidly growing online games community.

The interface of this technology is easy to navigate, from the welcome screen to the games arena and chat rooms, people find the technology extremely easy to use. Once you turn on the interface you will see where you last played, which makes it easier to continue the game. You can run Cloud technology on a Mac or on a PC with Windows XP or Vista technology.

You will also need a Broadband connection in order to play the games, which work with virtually any speed of processor. The annual fee is not only less than what you would pay for a games console, you get a free demo of any game and if you still don’t want to purchase the game, you might find it easier on your budget to rent the games that you are interested in.

You also need to make a judgement based on the subject of your community. If it is based around adult activities such as gambling, then of course you should be limiting your membership to those who are legally old enough to gamble. Do not forget that children are more vulnerable than adults, and you need to keep this in mind.

If a community is about a less age specific subject such as video games, then surely it would not be appropriate to ban younger members from joining?

If most of your current members are adults, you should think carefully about whether that environment is the best place for children to be. Regardless of your community guidelines or rules, your adult members may share content or discuss issues of an adult nature from time to time. Not only is this a moral issue, but it could cause you headaches of a bad situation was picked up by the press or if a concerned parent decided to pursue legal action against you.

All online communities should incorporate safety features. If you plan on allowing children to join your online community, you need to ensure that you have ways that members can block other members from communicating with them, and that you have a clear complaint and escalation policy. The fewer safety features your community has, and the fewer moderators there are, the less appropriate it is for you to allow children to join.

It can be difficult to change your age policy once your community has been established. Members of online communities do not like change, and furthermore you risk alienating those members who are not even affected by any policy change. You will be removing members who may have previously added value and had a strong social standing in the community. You need to be very careful about this.

Even if you only allow adults to join your online community, you should still have clear rules and guidelines. Just because members are adults, it does not mean you want to allow them to discuss anything and everything. Certain topics should always be off-limits. Remember, it does not take much for someone to lie about their age. Even if they don’t, do you really want them to see abuse or discussions of an offensive or illegal nature?

If you are still unsure about whether or not to allow children to join your online community, put yourself in the shoes of a parent. Would you want your child to register at your online community and get involved and share information about themselves? If not, then you should probably change something such as your guidelines, enforcement or age policy. If you would be happy with your son or daughter joining, how old would you want them to be before getting involved? Now you can figure out your lower age limit.

Just be honest, step away from the community and think carefully. You know your community better than anyone and should be able to determine whether it is an appropriate environment for children to get involved in.

However, saying the wrong thing can sometimes leave your credibility runined indefinitely. We’ll take a look at a few key mistakes in this argue that you want to avoid while branding yourself on a forum.

Whether you have made these mistakes or seen them, they are amazingly abundant in forums. They are ridiculously stupid mistakes that are ridiculously easy not to do.

If you want forum advertising to be effective in your marketing arsenal and position yourself as an expert, you must avoid making these 3 credibility killing mistakes:

Forum Advertising Credibility Killer #1: Adding Meaningless Posts

This is HUGE! Why would someone create meaningless posts on a forum? Some think if they can get their post count big enough more people will check out their website. This is wrong, annonying, amateurish in nature and you will seem more like a spammer or lamer while someone with 10 quality posts will get the traffic instead.

It’s not about quantity it is about quality and adding value to the community. So a “Hey that was a great post” is not enough. Try pointing out what you liked or if you agree why you do and either way add valid points and more value on to the topic.

You want to always add value to the post. Always. No exceptions.

Forum Advertising Credibility Killer #2: Arguing/Fighting

This tactic is NEVER going to boost your credibility; rather it is going to make you look immature. It’s one thing to voice your valid points, it’s another to argue.

Remember, your entitled to your opinion and so is everyone else. If someone lies or tries to attack you make your case professionally and leave it at that, do not get caught up in a back and forth war. Being professional will gain you more credibility and waste less of your time.

Remember this: Two fools arguing is two fools arguing.

Forum Advertising Credibility Killer #3: Self-Promotion Threads

Remember #1, add value. If you have a topic that is not already covered in the threads than by all means create one on that topic and add value. If your intent is merely for self-promotion it will show and there goes your credibility out the window. And should you decide to post a self-promotion, get ready for an onslaught of criticism.

Some say it’s best to become an active forum member before starting your own threads regardless of your intent. You will get a much warmer response when your name has been seen around the forum as a value adding member.

At the end of the day, don’t fight, don’t post something meaningless just to post it and definitely do not create a thread to promote yourself or your business. That’s not what a forum is for!

Well, recently I decided to try something new out; a forum. Forums are really awesome because you can customize them, add your own categories and subcategories, domain names, information, etc. And you can also communicate with people directly on the website through threads, comments/posts and private messaging if available. I tried getting my first one going but found it to be a little too complicated for me, and frankly I didn’t want to waste hiring a designer just so he could overcharge me for a small job like a forum. Hey I’m not saying designing is easy, but designing for a designer is. So instead I started searching online for free phpBB forums, and you would be surprised what I found! Ready?

You can actually “hire” someone to develop a forum for you for free! Yep, you heard me right! I said FREE! Every Last forum will be produced automatically, and you just need to affirm your verification e-mail, and it’s up. It will only take a 2 minutes! Plus as said above they will utilize the very popular phpBB 3 board to attain the highest security measures and flexibility. You can select from more than 200 templates to custom-make your own forum. I like this option because I love to customize sites and make them “mine.”

This is awesome! Not only did I get my forum for free but, they also offered free hosting! So now I have a rockin’ forum that looks like I paid a lot of money for it but doesn’t weigh down on my bank account or my conscience. These forums really are awesome not only because they are free or customizable or even because they are phpBB styling, but because they are yours 100%. Now you can do whatever you want, however you want, wherever you want.

Post threads on piccata, post articles with photos on your favorite pasta dishes, invite people, share your enthusiasm and get people excited! This will become a major hub for you and your friends and for your friends to be! Bon Appetit!

By definition a forum or a message board is a website for communication between members to talk about various things that interest them. Forums usually consist of group contributors who must register within the forum before any initial conversing goes on, the members use topics known as threads to communicate with each other using items called posts.

These sites will also have something else called PMs or private messages. If I would make a forum it would probably be to get my service out there, but another great thing for you to do would be to make categories or “sections” so that other people could post information about their businesses as well such as. Sections include affiliate programs, businesses, corporations, products, and services. This not only allows you to be a little selfish in promoting your site, but people will also flock to it because they will be allowed to post threads about their businesses and in turn allow them to market or promote as well. A forum is made for people to converse, share ideas, thoughts, feeling, and such.

You could make a classified section, business, advertising, affiliates, services/marketplace, “off topic”, money making ideas, etc. The point of the forum is to obviously converse with people but to also make them feel at home, and make them feel like its just as much their forum, as it is yours, even if you are the owner.

As of right now there are over 1 million business forums online and every single day more and more people are making new ones. If your going to get a forum going, I suggest trying phpBB forums; phpBB is one of the most popular forms of package written for forums with PHP scripting languages. phpBB is an abbreviation on PHP bulletin Board, available under the GNU General Public License, phpBB is free software.

Forum software packages are also widely obtainable on the Internet and are written in a variety of computer programming languages, such as PHP, Perl, Java and ASP. The conformation and records of posts can be stacked away in text files or in a database.

Every software program provides unique features, from the most standard, supplying text-only postings, to more advanced bundles, offering multimedia support and data formatting code (usually known as BBCode). Numerous packages can be incorporated easily into an existent website to allow visitors to post commentaries on articles, one of these packages is the phpBB package and this is why this kind of programming is one of the most popular options when developing a forum of any kind.

Well rounded, unique, safe, creative, idea consuming forums, are the forums that people love the most. Put some passion, a dash of love, and a lot of thought into these forums and you could just as well have an amazing concept that everyone will want a piece of!

Of course there are all kinds of ways to market your business or your website online, but honestly I prefer the forums. Not only is it easy, but it’s quick and you can make some really great friends and some really great business contacts in the process of all of this.

This really is something you should check out if your starting out or if you haven’t ever tried this technique before! Now if you join a forum and it’s not your own, you will want to try to follow the rules as best as you can, obviously if you don’t then you have a chance of getting in trouble, and that completely defeats the purpose of this process! In my opinion, sig links aren’t enough; forums will allow you to place anchor text and links in your signature which can be seen on any post you make, as well as on your profile.

However, what I do find the be helpful, is to find forums that have marketplaces or service sections. These sections will both allow you to place a thread about your business and in most cases will also allow you to provide your service (if you have one to give) to the members of the board. I’ll be honest, at least 90% of all my sales come from three forums in particular and they have done me well!

It’s important to be “polite” on forums because first off it’s not yours, second off you are in the unknown and really your nothing more than a n00b. People often take offense when a newbie comes storming on to a board and thinks they are exempt of all the rules and regulations. This is a good way to get yourself in trouble quickly, so just don’t do it!

When making your thread be sure to include as much info as you can, but don’t overdo it. I know people are usually cut half and half. 50% of the people don’t mind reading posts that go on and on and on. And the other 50% (like me) hate threads that go on and on and on. Be specific but don’t run on. Don’t use “uhms” and “uhhs”. Be professional, be precise, and be informative! The best thing you can do is tell a little bit about yourself first off, then tell them why you are on the forum promoting your site or service.

The second best thing you can do is to make sure you provide some sort of proof that you’re not just some joker off the Internet highway looking to make a quick buck!

Make sure you have a website (as always) to show these people or any other people for that matter. Having a website is like pulling up in a Ferrari and having all the right pieces. Not having a website, is like pulling up in a Ferrari with a ford engine, Chevy wheels, and a horn that sounds like that of a fog horn. If you’re going to play the part you gotta look the part as well! Be sure to reply as soon as possible to threads, replies, questions, and PMs. Even if these questions may seem mundane and tawdry. Just do it.

After all that’s what you’re on this forum for, to interest people and to get then to trust you and like you! After you make your thread and you have things going, be sure to ask your customers (the happy ones) to post some good reviews ON your thread. This will not only bump your thread but it will also make people want to trust you and in turn bring you more work for your service and more visitors to your website which could lead to potential leads or even better yet, potential sales!

You could save a ton of time, and money on a phpBB forum, rather than spending upwards to thousands of dollars, frustrating yourself over the coding, and the hosting, which can get really confusing on a lot of occasions, believe me! I’m pretty technically inclined but even I couldn’t figure out something as easy as a wordpress!

The reason people like going on these sites so much is because sites like these build friendships, bonds, and business contacts. These forums are great no matter what your into, what you like, what you do for a living, etc. Various people of all ages, sexes, nationalities and locations are members and become members of these forums every single day. In most instances you won’t just have a forum that is a forum. Instead, you will have a forum that covers a certain topic (mainly) or a niche. For example, a forum like NamePros is mainly for domainers and people that are interested in domain names, domain businesses, web hosting or any other activities done through websites. Whereas a forum like TAF is a gaming forum; so most everything in this forum will revolve around games; video games, video game consoles, PC games, articles about games and they might even have extra things like arcades.

It’s more than likely that these sites will run on phpBB which is a specifics styling of a forum. phpBB is one of the most popular forms of package written for forums with PHP scripting languages. phpBB is an abbreviation on PHP bulletin Board, Available under the GNU General Public License, phpBB is free software.
