Elite Internet Marketing Forum

As many of you know I’m currently in the process of integrating an internet marketing community into the website in order to offer you all a place to go where you can build relationships, offer advice, ask questions and so much more that will help you with your marketing goals.

There are both a free section that contains the main internet marketing forum as well as the lounge where you can hang out and discuss just about anything that strikes your fancy, as well as the Elite Membership sections where the more serious marketers gather to discuss some of the more advanced topics, as well as discuss joint venture possibilities etc.

I’ve made the paid section affordable to all at $6.00 per month, or $49.00 per year, however I realize that many of you starting off in the make money online industry may be doing so out of the need to try and earn more money and as such maybe can’t afford even that amount. So rather than leave anyone behind, I’ve structured a way that you can get your membership for zero. To learn more, read the section at the bottom of this page!

Some reasons why you should join an online internet marketing community:

- Relationships – Forums are a great way to meet other marketers, and small business owners who are interested in many of the very same topics as you are interested in. Each one of us also bringing a different set of skills and knowledge to the discussion. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a question that I was unable to find the answer to online, only to have another member who happened to be an expert in that exact field come up with the answer for me. Over time these relationships will benefit everyone, because you’ll develop a trust that is so important when developing both personal and business relationships with.

- Personal and Professional Branding – Participating in an online community like this one allows you to showcase your skills and offers you a place to represent your brand. By placing a link, or banner to your website in your signature at the bottom of each of your posts you’ll also experience a great form of free advertising and traffic generation as well as numerous back links pointing to your website.

- Education – I have met some of the most talented individuals who are not only capable, but generous with their time and knowledge and willing to share that knowledge in order to help out both new comers, and advanced internet marketers alike. I have found that when two people belong to the same community there is almost a sense of brotherhood (or sisterhood) and as such a desire for each other to succeed rather than a competitiveness that is found most other places online and off.

- A chance to showcase your skills and help others – While there will be times when you go in search of answers there will be just as many times that you are in a position to help the other members with something you happen to be knowledgeable about. Also if you happen to be a social media guru, and are always offering insight into those topics, chances are if you have a related website people will be extremely likely to click through and see what you have to offer over there.

- Find reputable Services and Freelancers for sale – Since a members reputation can be discerned through a few things like reputation, ITrader, length of membership and feedback from other members, you are often much more secure when doing business online with these members. One of the things I hate most about online transactions is doing business with people I don’t know at all; this eliminates that to some degree.

These are just a few reasons it is beneficial to join an online forum, or community and there are so many others that I’m sure you’ll come to see once you join and start interacting regularly.

As you can see if you are an internet marketer, or blogger then there is definitely going to be tons of information for you and tons of opportunity for you to grow your business as well.
I’ve tried to make the forum accessible to absolutely everyone, and that includes individuals who are still striving to earn a living online. I have implemented a system where you can earn credits within the forum by simply making the same posts you’d normally make anyway, as well as referring new members which will in turn benefit everyone. Here is how the credit system works. Keep in mind the system is new and as such evolving, and I’m going to be adding more rewards as well as allowing members to offer their own as well in exchange for credits.

Earning Credits:
- Making posts. (100 word minimum) = 1 credit
- Referring new members = 1 credit
- Listing the person who referred you = 1 credit
- Donations to each other = Up to the individual
- Gifts from admins and mods = up to the individual
- More coming
Spending Credits:
- 1 Month Membership = 20 credits (or 20 posts)
- 1 Year membership = 200 credits
- Banner advertising = $1.00 = 3 credits (See advertising page for rates)
- Training courses = $1.00 = 3 credits (If course is $47.00 then 141 credits)
- E-Books As above
- More coming soon!
