Here are some posts that you should avoid getting involved with in the forum.
- Forums attract all type of people and therefore you will always find that some threads on a forum are controversial.
Now there is nothing wrong with getting involved in a controversial thread on the forum however if it turns into an argumentative thread then you need to avoid getting involved.
If you suspect that a particular thread is going to become argumentative or that it is controversial in the extreme then it is best to avoid adding any posts that thread. - The other type of threads that you should avoid getting involved with are probably more popular in the Internet marketing niche.
Those are the unethical type of threads.
If you have an ethical online business and I really trust that you do then you need to steer away from anything that involves manipulating the search engines or customers, basically manipulating anything to increase your own gain.
If you get involved with that kind of thread on your forum you will tarnish your character and people will be less likely to trust what you post and what you offer in future. - So what kind of posts should you get involved with? Here are a couple of ideas of posts that you can get involved in that will help to increase your credibility and online reputation.
- Always get involved with posts and threads that talk about your particular expertise.
Then you are able to share and provide valuable information that demonstrate your knowledge and provides help to others on the forum.
Visitors reading your post will then be more likely to click on your forum signature to find out more about you. - Forums are a great place for people to ask questions and any thread that begins with a question is a great place for you to add a post.
If you are able to be the very first person to add your answer to the question then that is even better because everyone who reads that thread afterwords will have visibility to your first reply.
