Forget expensive courses that simply go over the free stuff in another way. And forget trading robots. They do not work. My simple 15 minute bar scalping system does work.

Give it a go. You can trade a demo account for a while and get a feel for it.

When I first started online I was really intimidated by those on forums and did not do much visiting for quite some time.

Later I decided to try a few more forums and my online business changed almost over night. I starting learning, from friendly forum members, why my pages weren’t making me any money.

thanks again

One thing I haven’t seen mentioned is the use of Google Alerts (http://www.google.com/alerts). I’ve set up a number of alerts relating to Flight Simulation (the subject of my main blog) and I get regular notifications with links – many of them to forums with people asking questions. I can then go and sign up for these forums and offer advice etc

It’s a great way to find out about new forums and sites that I might otherwise not have discovered.

If you also add an alert to your own blog, you can see where it’s getting mentioned.

At what point should a blogger consider starting his own forum or should the blogger keep the conversation within the commenting section of the blog?

Wish me luck :)

I responded by writing a kind of mini-article to help that poster.

A couple of days later, my blog got stumbled. I usually receive about 10 to 15 uniques a day, but I observed a traffic spike that lasted about three to four days. Traffic peaked at 240 uniques in a single day, then about 120 uniques the next day, then about 40 or so the third day. That’s a lot for me so far. I was kind of amazed; I realistically never expected anything like this so quickly.

All I wanted to do, was to help the poster who had a question that I felt I could reasonably answer. I find it’s fun to help people out on forums, not necessarily to get anything from them, but just because it’s the right thing to do and it’s a great thing to do and it’s courteous.

Thank you for your tips, Darren. I always learn something new every time I read your blog! The great thing is, I can then go out and immediately apply it to my blog, to better serve my readers.

Have an excellent day!!!!

Usually people will ask questions that I have already answered in my blog and I will link to that part of my blog that has the answer.

And like you advised I visit and participate in this forum often.

I check my stats periodically and find that a good portion of my visitors come from these forums.

So far my traffic has been good and I just reached page one of google’s search engine results for my main keywords “adsense consultant”

Conversations are often slow, but there are so many unanswered questions that you can find month’s worth of posts just by answering the forgotten threads.

I’d also suggest taking unpopular stances on issues important to you. By doing so, you will be raising your profile and compelling others to join the conversation.
