Thank you for your introduction. I am very new to working from home and I hope to get benefit from this forum on exactly which way to go. I have submitted articles on SQUIDOO,HUBPAGES,AND EHOW under the name brownlickie. So far this has only been a pastime as there are no earnings except from Squidoo who gave me 8 cents for the month. I don't really want to earn millions, just enough to pay off my credit cards as I am a pensioner and every bit helps. Thanks once again and I will read your posts with interest. regards Brian

Wow, this is some great information. I'm fairly new to the online business world and I know that I hate pushy sales people just as much as the next guy, so I try really hard to just be genuine about my product and give the facts.

Being genuine is really the best way to go, because people can spot a money-grubber a mile away if you use the wrong sales pitch, that's for sure !

I hope everybody takes your advice because this is really something that can make or break a beginner!

Thanks so much!

Thanks Vishal for your timely advice from the outset. I will keep it in mind in my interraction with my fellow members. Forums are meant to be educational and for sharing experiences.
I will ensure my contributions are relevant and add value to the overall forum integrity

Hi Vishal,

I think what you have said makes a lot of sense. I love forums and have picked up a tremendous amount of information, support and in some cases real friendship from people who are very successful but willing to spare their time to offer help and guidance.

If people only join forums to push programs onto members and attempt to spam the forum then they are usually found out very quickly and removed.. As a new member it is nice to know that the forum has strong rules and I hope to be here for a long time.

regards,

Mal.

Wow, this is actually my first time posting on any kind of forum I'm very excited to have found a place that focuses on work at home information. I've just started out in my own affiliate marketing adventure and could use as much valuable information as I can get my hands on. Thank you so much for creating this forum and I look forward to this new chapter in my life and hopefully making new friends and connections here! I'll think I'll look around a little bit now and get familiar with the place...

Much appreciation,
JoyBringsWealth

Vishal P. Rao:
Majority of the newbies into forum marketing make this mistake of being too assertive in their approach, often using explicit texts to coax readers into looking into their signature. I would like to stress on the fact that such an approach will hardly deliver any lasting results in the long run. You may make a sale here and there, but you'll miss the gold mine lying underneath.

If you truly want to get the maximum results from forums, spend some quality time here and share real information. Be real. Don't force yourself into making n posts every time you make a visit here. It doesn't matter how many posts you make but how many people that have benefited from reading your posts. The feedback you get will be far more heartening to read than seeing the posts counter below your member name. And these are the very people you'll most likely be doing business with.

Always remember this: People who visit you signature links after being impressed by the information you have posted, are far more likely to do long-term business with you than casual visitors, who visit you, being impressed by the text in your signature.

Haste never delivers. Anything that's built with love, care and patience will always deliver the most. Be it an ice-cream or a house. The longer the time you'll spend on them, the better they'll turn out to be. So don't rush and take it easy.

That was well expressed Vishal. Thank You for welcoming me.

Roger

Thank you, Vishal! I just joined this forum today and I must say that out of all forums I have joined so far your greeting and initial advice were absolutely the best... The forum seems super interesting and I cannot wait to exchange info and learn something new...
All the best to you and all the memebers!

This is so true and yet people buy from people who are forward and assertive all the time.
In sales, professionals will do something called "mirroring" where they will take on similar characteristics that their prospects display. In other words develop rapport.
Obviously, online is different. Writing online to express your personality can take some time to perfect and even then is a work in progress.
I've always enjoyed Ken Evoy and his trainings with Sitesell.com

Best of days to you and yours,
Craig

Thank you, Vishal.

I am new here, but already feel at home. There's been just too many hoaxes, scams and more these days, that arriving here and reading your welcome message made me check reality. I'm hoping to learn and find insights that will lead me to the right direction of online marketing. I want to find myself among the ones who are "real" and make it even more "real" for the newbies like me.

Appreciate your effort!

I recently lost my job, and have just started looking into these types of forums related to work at home opportunities. I've signed up with only a few companies, mostly for paid surveys, one of which is working out very well. I started at the website less than a week ago and I have already met the minimum and cashed out once, but it's somewhat small money. It seems like everything is like that, just have to put a lot of time and tedious effort, is that pretty true?

Thanks Vishal - I am happy to be a part of such a wonderful group of people. Forums are fairly new to me, however, I find that there is so much we can learn from each other. Even if we stumble, that is all part of learning and finding the right way to our individual success.

Business is relationship oriented that we forget sometimes because we might get pressured to make that next mortgage payment or car payment.

I especially like your statement about . . . " don't rush and take it easy." That is something I truly am working on each and every day!

Great Advice, not cool when people try and get something for nothing, the Law of Karma should be taught in elementary school.

If the truth be told forums are like our play ground

It gives us a chance to take a breather from the hard work we are all putting in and to just relax a bit.

And... if we can help along the way ... thats even better (although sometimes i wonder if I help at all ... I just love commenting )

I visit forums to share and learn knowledge. I enjoy the unpressured quit time. Mostly I enjoy it when I can be of assistance to someone by offering them helpful hints and tips that I have learned during my life's trials.
Be Well,
Karl

Thanks Vishal for your words of wisdom. I am hoping to get an education out of this forum and others as well. As to what I may be able to contribute, I only hope it will help at least one person.

I also hope to add helpful comments that are on topic. I must admit to getting caught up in the discussions and forget to do more than just read. It is a pleasant surprise to find all the professional and experienced advice here.

Well said everyone, it's nice to see a work from home forum that everyone isn't in your face about what want YOU to sign up for.

Like most of you, I will pick though some of the links that intrigue me, without preasure. Those are your best customers anyway!

You make some very good points here. Thanks for your advice.

Too many newbies just try and push themselves onto everyone and this is totally the wrong thing to do . One needs to provide quality content and help others in order to help themselves. Trying to force themselves on others only succeeds in turning them off. Trying to help them makes them feel better towards you and are more likely to want to visit your site.

Thanks for providing a great forum for people to learn the intricacies of marketing on the internet.

This well said because I strongly believe that socializing should go beyond selling.One should be able to merit a visit.Hoping that many new entrants here and other forums take these stuff you wrote here to heart and abide well for their own maximum benefits
