Here is a list of the top MLM Forums and home based business platforms for you to promote your business on.

If you’re currently not using forums and/or social networking platforms as a means to build your business then you’re missing out, big time!

How do Forums Benefit You?

1. MLM Forums Help Promote Your MLM or Income Opportunity: Most of the forums below will have a section where you can post about your product, service or business opportunity.

2. MLM Forums Generate Traffic: Unlike social media posts, forum posts don’t get buried, they can be seen for years on end, and some of the forums in this list (especially the Warrior Forum) rank well in the search engines. You can get a consistent flow of traffic from your signature links and from links within the threads you post.

3. MLM Forums Give You Backlinks: Building backlinks via the forums is not as powerful as it used to be, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t include forums as part of you link building strategy. Keep an eye out for the forums that have do-follow links, as they can improve your sites overall rankings and authority.

4. MLM Forums Generate Leads: You could place a link to your capture/squeeze page in the signature box. I’ve even seen marketers who link straight to their sales page. In theory, the more times you post, the more leads you’ll generate.

5. MLM Forums Help You Gain Knowledge: Many internet marketing “Pros” or “Gurus” share their knowledge in the forums, you can learn many great things from them.

6. MLM Forums Get Your Questions Answered: There are some questions that you just won’t be able to find an answer for within the search engines, if that’s the case, then you can simply slip over to the forums and ask. You shouldn’t have any problem getting an answer to whatever it is you want to know.

7. MLM Forums Build Relationships: Meeting other like-minded entrepreneurs and building relationships is always important to successfully build your business.

What Forums Should You Join?

It probably makes sense to work the forums that get the most traffic. But it really comes down to what you like and what your goals are.

Some of the large sites may be intimidating for beginners and you may find yourself more comfortable settling in with smaller communities. Whatever the case may be, this forums list will defiantly help you out.

MLM Forum Marketing Tips to Help You Succeed

1. Completely Fill Out Your Profile: If you don’t put in the effort to fill out your profile then you may come across as a spammer. Remember, you’re trying to fit into a community here, so let people know who you are and what you do.

2. Utilize Your Signature: This is where the promotion happens. Your signature gets shown in every thread and post you make. You can slip in a link to your capture page and/or to your website. In theory, the more posts you make and the better quality posts you write, the more clicks you’ll get.

3. Don’t Spam. Obviously spamming is something that you don’t won’t to do, it can lead to you getting banned or kick out. Besides, you got your signature link there anyway, so there’s really no need to spam.

4. Read the Rules: Breaking the rules can be quite embarrassing. People will look at you and think “OMG, what a rookie”. Usually the rules are posted at the top as a “sticky post”, you’ll need to briefly go over them so you can understand what’s okay and what’s not okay.

5. Subscribe to The Topics that Interest You: If you’re a beginner, then subscribe to the topics that you want to learn most about, and if you’re an expert/knowledgeable at a specific topic then subscribe to it. By subscribing you’ll receive an email notification whenever someone posts a new thread. This way, you can be the first to respond giving your post the best exposure.

6. Do a Search Before Starting a New Thread: If you start a new thread asking a question that’s already been answered then you may upset the mods. So be sure to do a quick search to see if your question has already been answered.

7. Provide Value: In this business, the winners are those who provide the best value. Do your best to answer peoples questions, over time, you’ll become more knowledgeable and more of an expert. If you blow people away with your answers, other people will see, and your signature links will get more clicks.

8. Don’t Get Lost: It’s a jungle out there, you could find yourself spending hours on end reading forums posts without getting any real work done. Yes, the forums are a great place to learn and develop your knowledge, but don’t just be a reader, make sure to throw in your two cents.
