Excuse Me?
June 9th, 2008
I’m learning the value of forums lately. Web 2.0 has its unique interactivity aspects, but forums have been around almost since the Internet began. Back then they called them message boards, but they have evolved into a huge source of information and potential support. That depends on the particular forum and in particular the forum monitors.
People can bring a problem to the forum, start a thread or add to one that’s ongoing on just about any topic one can imagine. Internet marketers’ forums can be invaluable, if only for members to learn that they are not alone, that someone else is in a quandary about, say, whether or not get into high risk offshore merchant accounts. Experienced marketers to newbies and everyone in between participate in discussions that may become convoluted. But if you take the time to unravel all the threads, eventually you’ll get to the answer. And frankly, the answer for one may not be the answer for everyone. But that’s a topic for another day.
