Almost complete guide to web forums

August 18th, 2008 by the noob

make money online with keri russel with this complete guide to web forumsBloggernoob dot com grew using the free method of marketing. I started this blog because i wanted to make a few bucks for tech toys and mini holidays. I’ve already achieved this goal and still have money in the bank. My trick was that i used a lot of free advertising. One of the best ways to promote a website is via internet forums. These are all free and if you become an active member, you will benefit greatly. Meaning, it will help you make money online. I’ve compiled a list of the web forums that you will find to be useful. I am an active member in these forums, and i’ve learned a great deal by being a member. Don’t just signup and not be active. Ask questions and give your 2 cents. Here’s my almost complete guide to web forums.

Digitalpoint- The biggest webmaster forum there is. It’s filled with a lot of noobies, but you’ll still learn a lot about webmastering here. You need to sign up and post a few website reviews when u start out before you can really make use of this site. But trust me, it’s totally worth it. This is where a lot of deals happen. Digitalpoint will get you your first patch of private ad sales.

Sitepoint- Sitepoint has a great marketplace for buying and selling web related stuff. You can buy websites, domains, and links. The forums aren’t as great as digitalpoint, but still very informative. I mostly use sitepoint for the marketplace, but i’ve posted a few threads there. I’ve gotten one of my threads featured on the first pace of sitepoint, and it got me a lot of traffic. That led to a few solid contacts in my niche and built up my blog’s reputation.

Blogcatalog- This site is more a social networking site for blogging then a webmaster forum. But, the members are all nice and it’d be a waste to not get involved in the discussions at BC. BloggerNoob is an active member at blogcatalog.

Namepros- i recently joined up with this site because of my domain name investments. The community is very tight and the members are totally cool. If you are interested in domaining as a way to make money online, you need to be a member of this forum.

Wickedfire- The bastard son of digitalpoint, this web forum can get a bit intimidating. If you don’t bring you A game, you’ll get trashed so fast, you might consider quiting your nobbie blog. Once u get the hang of it, you’ll find it to be very helpful. Members can be rude and crass, but they know their shit. Start reading the threads before you build up confidence to post your own.

Webhostingtalk- Good for hosting discussions.

V7N- Haven’t used them that much yet, but i plan to. Heard a lot of good things about this forum.

Warriorforum- Still getting to this one.

DNscoop- Another domain related forum.

Webdeveloper- Place for web developers.

Internet- For such a great domain name, doesn’t really have much going on. But, i put it up here cause the domain is so great. Maybe they will build up this site more in the near future.

Webmaster-talk- A good place for webmastering conversations.

Webdesignerforum- Leave it to the Brits for setting up a design related forum. Good place to check out design related info.

I’ve signed up with other webforums, but for the time being, i will only feature these. I will continue to update this post with other forums that i think are helpful for noobie bloggers. It takes a lot of time to build up your reputation on these forums. So i don’t want to overwhelm you with smaller ones that won’t really help out in the beginning. If you want to recommend a web forum, leave me a comment with the web forum that you would like me to add. Get busy marketing and learning on these web forums. It will help you make money online. Noob out!

    [...] Since it’s the weekend, i’ll keep this post nice and short. Let me just give you an example because that seems to work best. A few months after i started bloggernoob, i started experimenting with other blogs. I registered a bunch of keyword domains. I got a few blogs up that discussed topics that these known advertisers would like. Credit and loan related companies have very deep pockets. I know for a fact that a lot of credit card or loan webmasters spend a lot in advertisement. So, i logically set up a credit card blog. It wasn’t anything special and the content was sub-par at best. After i wrote about 10 credit related posts, i marketed the blog and built up a few links. Before i even had PR on the blog, i started to monetize it. I didn’t think that i could sell any ads, but i did. I just approached a few credit related webmasters and posted a few threads in web forums. [...]

    HOW TO MAKE $10,000 EASY AND FAST 100% LEGALLY

    Do please take the time to read through all the information below before you write off this idea, I too have read these things before and dismissed them as rubbish. This time I didn’t - and now I’m wondering how different my life could have been if I’d followed up this opportunity years ago when I first heard about it.

    Ok, a little while back, I was browsing through newsgroups and message boards, and came across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands of pounds within weeks with only an initial investment of $6.00! So I thought, “Yeah right, this must be a scam”, but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept reading. After consulting with friends and family they themselves heard about this but were, like me skeptical about the idea. So I thought to myself “why not give it a try, its only $6, I mean I’ve spent more than that on lunch!”
    So I gave it a try and OH MY GOD!!! Trust me, the results were staggering!

    Let’s cut the boring part and get straight into it. This can be done by anyone in the world.
    PAYPAL VERIFIES THAT THIS BUSINESS PROGRAM IS 100% LEGAL AND IS A BIG HIT, TAKES JUST 15-30 MINUTES AND A SMALL £6 INVESTMENT.

    This project has been on TV programmes such as 20/20, Oprah, and the Wall Street Journal. It’s been in existence in many forms for at least a decade. The entire process is FAST, EASY and VERY, VERY LUCRATIVE. I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I SAW HOW MUCH MONEY CAME FLOODING INTO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT I turned $6 into over $10,000. I will GUARANTEE that you will enjoy a similar return!
    The only things you will need are:
    1. An email address.
    2. A Business or Premier PAYPAL account (FREE)
    3. Just 20 to 30 minutes of your time.

    This program takes just half an hour to set up. After that, there is absolutely no work whatsoever to do on your part. You have absolutely NOTHING to lose, and there is NO LIMIT to the amount of income you can generate from this one single business program. Let’s get started, just follow the instructions exactly as set out below and then prepare you for a HUGE influx of cash over the next 30 days! Here’s what you need to do.

    STEP 1: Setting up your FREE PAYPAL Account It’s extremely safe and very easy to set up a FREE PAYPAL account! Copy and paste the
    following link exactly into the address bar:
    https://www.paypal.com (notice the secure “https” within the link)
    Be sure to sign up for a FREE PREMIER or BUSINESS account (and not a PERSONAL account) otherwise you won’t be able to receive credit card payments from other people.

    STEP 2: Sending PAYPAL money To give means to receive, and receive you will. Many waste $6 on nothing of use. You’ll make over $10,000 with the $6 you invest. To send money, all you do is click on ’send money’ located in blue at the top of the page next to ‘welcome’.
    Now all you have to do is send $1.00 by way of PAYPAL to each of the email addresses below.
    Make sure the subject of the payment says… “PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST”. (this keeps the program 100% legal… so please don’t forget!)

    These are the e-mail addresses you send $1 to. (That is $1 to each email address.)
    1) alders_elite@hotmail.co.uk
    2) mardell87@hotmail.co.uk
    3) lindaluckyy@yahoo.co.uk
    4) genebizventures@gmail.com
    5) andyhtez@yahoo.co.uk
    6) yohoooos@gmail.com
    Remember, all of this is ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! You are creating a service! If you have any doubts, please refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1241 of the United States Postal laws.

    STEP 3: Adding Your Email Address
    After you send your $1.00 payment, to each email on the list above,
    Take the #1) email off the list that you saw above, move the other addresses up one - (#6 becomes #5 & #5 becomes #4 and #4 becomes #3 & #3 becomes #2 and #2 becomes #1. etc)
    Now add YOUR email address (the one used in your PAYPAL account) to position #6) on the
    list.
    *** MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS IN YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT SO YOU
    CAN GET PAID ***
    STEP 4: The Pure Joy of Receiving PAYPAL Money!
    You are now ready to post your copy of this message, to at least 50-200 newsgroups, message boards. I post to 200 for quicker surer results. There are close to 32,000 news groups, this makes it easy for you to earn money.
    All you need is 200 news groups, but the more you post, the more money you make - as well as everyone else on the list!
    In this situation your job is to let as many people see this letter as possible. So they will make you and me rich and of course themselves!!! You can even start posting the moment your email is confirmed. Payments will still appear in your PAYPAL account even while your bank account is being confirmed.

    DIRECTIONS: HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS & MESSAGE BOARDS
    You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply do the following:

    STEP 1: Copy this document, and Paste to a Notepad file. Save your new Notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different settings, you’ll always have this file to go back to.

    STEP 2: Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various newsgroups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites, discussions, discussion groups, online communities, etc.

    EXAMPLE: Go to any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com, excite.com - then search with subjects like “Millionaire message board” Or “Opportunity message board” Or “Money making discussions” Or “Business bulletin board” Or “Money making forum” etc. You will find thousands & thousands of message boards. Click them one by one then you will find the option to post a new message.

    STEP 3: Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting ‘Paste’ from the ‘Edit’ menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You’re done with your first one!
    Congratulations! THAT’S IT!! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup!

    REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS AND/OR MESSAGE BOARDS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!!

    That’s it! You will begin receiving money within days!
    ***JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY AND PUT AT THE BOTTOM OF LIST ABOVE, IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT SO YOU GET PAID.***

    WHY IT’S EASY TO MAKE £10,000 CASH: OK, lets say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I Made $5.00 with my email at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 posting, each with my email at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my email at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my email at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $625.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my email at #2 and they only receive 5 replies that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my email at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625.00!

    $15,625.00! from an original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING!!
    When your email is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to emails on the list, putting your email at number 6, after sending your $1 payments and start posting again. The thing to remember is, thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! All this takes is £6, which most people waste on nothing really important anyway. IT REALLY WORKS!!!

    There are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try. Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users of the Internet, every day.

    What will happen over the course of 30 days? Well, this money will be sent to you by a few thousand people just like yourself, who are willing to invest $6.00 and around 30 minutes of their time to receive around $10,000 or more in cash. The first payments will arrive with in a few days and then they will continue at the rate of about 100 payments per day for about 30 days (obviously this will depend on how quickly you act and how quickly people take you up on this offer and then pass it on). After that time, the volumes of payments begin to taper off as your email is removed from the No 1 position. That’s all you need to do!
    There will be around $10,000 in payments waiting for you in your PAYPAL account within the next few weeks. $10,000 for just 30 minutes work! This is real money that you can spend on anything you wish! Just deposit it to your own bank account or spend it directly from your PAYPAL account!!! It’s just that easy!!!

    Send your emails only to people who are likely to want to participate and move quickly on this.
    Remember, this does work. This really isn’t another one of those crazy scams! As long as people follow through with sending out $6.00, it works!
    Use only opt-in resources for this material it will work for you and it works much faster without soliciting or spamming and has higher responses!!!
    N.B. REMEMBER, IT IS 100% LEGAL! AND THE MONEY YOU CAN MAKE IS REALISTIC. DON’T PASS THIS UP.

    HERE ARE SOME EMAIL TESTIMONIALS RECEIVED:
    “I followed the instructions just 2 weeks and 4 days ago, and although I haven’t made 10 grand yet, I am already up to $6,135. I am absolutely gob smacked”.
    Mr. A baker, Leicester.

    “Well what can I say? I sent out 40 emails like the plan said then I just forgot about the whole thing. To be honest, I didn’t really think anything would come of it, but “I checked my PayPal account a week later and there was over $3000.00 in it!!!”
    Robert, South London.

    “After 30 days I now have over $11,000 to spend”.
    L. Wang, Northampton.

    “I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my PayPal account. Within 3 weeks my account balance has ballooned to $7,449″
    Shirley Wicks, Es***.

    Send this to others, regardless of wherever you go ahead or not, they may want to make over $10,000 even if you don’t! This business actually works! Even if you think ‘nah this sounds like a scam’ PASS IT ON! There are people out there who can see through the ‘nah this sounds like a scam’ rubbish and actually see the MAJOR benefits this system can really make!
