Newbie Guide To Promotion Forums.

It's all good and well for experienced forum users to join new forums and know exactly what they are about. What about newbies to promotion forums though? Below I have written a short guide for newbies about certain things on a promotion forum.

1) Introduce yourself - this way the community can point out good things for you to check out before you get properly started. It also gives you a chance to gauge how friendly people are going to be.

2) Services - what are they? Promotion forums will often offer 'services' to help your forum grow and make improvements. 9 times out of 10 these services can be paid for with forum cash( earned via posting and other methods).

3) Packages - this is one service that a forum can offer. This is when a user from the promotion forum will come over to your forum/blog and post on it for you after you request a specific package. This is almost always paid for via forum cash. So it effectively costs you nothing and helps you out!

4) Reviews - this is another service that a forum can offer. This is when a user from the promotion forum will come over to your forum/blog and review it for you after you request a specific review type. They might be reviewing anything from content to design to grammar. It depends what you as for. This is almost always paid for via forum cash. So it effectively costs you nothing and helps you out!

5)Ads - this is a varied service across promotion forums. They can offer banner ads, table ads, signature ads, bubble ads etc. each type has it's own benefits and pitfalls. Before you request one it is best to read up on where you can advertise/where it's going to be displayed and pick whichever one suits your requirements best.

6) Participate - try your best to participate in the forum. It let's people see that you are going to be sticking around and want to be part of a community. This is also the best way to build up your forum cash. It can be spent on services to help your forum/site.

7) Freebies - keep your eyes open on promotion forums. There is always some kind of giveaway going on usually or a free service week. This is the best time to take advantage of all the services as it will cost you nothing but hopefully benefit you a lot.


This is just a simple newbie guide to a promotion forum - there is a lot more to know but those are some of the basics.

wow, good work in coming with all of this. Maybe FP could use it in some way? it might prove useful to new users who join here (and they could apply them to other promotion forums they visit too!) Unless we already have a newbies guide (haven't seen one yet) if so, they can still it for similar forums, in that case.
 
Great article, I was thinking of how this forum works, when I first joined, and had to pm people and ask about the exact points you mentioned. This surely will help all the newbies.
 
This is a wonderful thread for those new to the world of promoting. This should definitely be a sticky topic as it can help many new members understand the benefits of using promotional forums. 🙂 I'm kind of shocked that it isn't a sticky topic myself.
