Posting messages on online discussion boards is a great way to

get free advertising. When you post a message include your

signature file at the end. Your signature file should be no more

than 5 to 6 lines. Include an attention-getting sentence why

they should visit your web site or e-mail your auto responder.

Some online discussion boards allow you to leave text and

graphic links at the end of your messages. You will get a better

click-through rate with links than just a normal signature file.

Below are three types of messages you could post to online

discussion boards:

1. Informative Comments

Post information that would be informative to the people who

participate on the discussion board. It could be an article or a

study you've completed.

2. Ask Questions

Post a question on the discussion board you would like answered.

This will give you a chance to meet other experts and it could

lead to a profitable joint venture.

3. Answer Questions

Post the answer to another person's question on the discussion

board. When you answer questions you will get known as an

expert on the subject.

Before posting to any online discussion board read the FAQ or

rules first. They will tell you what kinds of posts are allowed.

Read the board for a few days before posting your message to

see what type of messages are being posted. Never post

messages on a board that are unrelated to the subject.
