Community Marketing

Russell,

I have read your article
that you posted i.e."Community Marketing" and I found it very useful and helpful.

8) I am already a member of your niche site and posted few comments. It is very cool idea.

:D READY!
:twisted: FIRE!
:blush: aim???

LaDonnaBella blogs women over 50 who want to keep looking good without looking stupid, like with too much cosmetic surgery and teenage styles.

Thanx, Russ. Now I have a better idea how to find all those old ladies, er, baby boomers.

:lol:

AARP, Third Age, etc.
CAN DO!

Hi Russell,

I agree with your post...that you must become part of the community that you want to do business with.
And using a forum where you can become friends with members of that community and it's power brokers is a great way to buld the relationships you need to become successful.

Mitch

As usual Russell, you make a lot of sense.
The new Forum is fantastic, I am honored to be a member.
What's more you really walk the talk. You found a niche and you filled it.
Your Forum already has over 9,000 members with over 4,300 posts!
Incredible.

Gooood Morning Russ.
Great post !! Ihave a question though about how you use "brand". Nw this may be my confusion, but arent you branding your self with this blog in someway shape or form. I understand the only way to score big is be selective and going after narrow targets. But wouldnt you say that, ok I just re-thought it.. are you suggesting to go more for the position as opposed to the brand or the image.I guess the last two kind of go hand in hand.
Any hoo just a thought.(barely finishing my first coffee here)
Have a great saturday

Which mailing list companies do you recommend? Ave. price for 500 niche names?

=========
From Russell

For offline lists - I'd call a listbroker from your phone book. They can create a list from the SRDS for you.

Online - I'd create a squeeze page and start driving traffic to the page and build your own list.

Hi Russel: I'm already a member of your forum too and posted a few comments, thanks.

Community is everything!
What a blessing it is to be able to have a group that is not limited by time & space!

:D thanks Russell for the helpful hints on communtiy marketing.

I have found that in my niche none of the forums have a sig file facility.

I am finding it really hard to find my target market because they can be any age or income bracket.

=========
From Russell

With your target - don't do it by age or income bracked - do it hobby related. What are they passionate about? What do they buy? What are they talking about.

Then use that info to find the communities where they hang out.

If you can't use a signature line - contact the owner of the forum and see if you can buy banner space or something like that.

Hope this helps.

Hi Russell,
Well after years of seeing a load of crap you have taught me more in a few minutes compared to all the stuff I have bought and all the biz ops I have joined. Thanks you. Look forward to working with you, Clive.

I am a former Vice President of a major Entertainment company with over 85 major motion pictures to our credit. I have been navigating the sea of various internet home businesses recently.Russel Brunson is the first one that makes sense and does not sugar coat the realities of starting a home based internet company. Refreshing to say the least. This newsletter is just another piece of valuable information that Mr. Brunson and his team share with others. I have learned more from his information than anything out there so far. Keep it up and thanks Russel.

Great advice, thanks for all the info for us newbie's
Again thanks

Dear Russel,
Your articles always makes a lot of sense and I read them. Continue the good work.
Your success :lol:

Hi Russell:

I am happy to see that you and others like Mark Hendricks are attempting to teach us how to build up a prosperous on-line business. It is much appreciated.

I just completed 7 years of developing a suite of 43 Land Surveying Programs: a rewrite from DOS. I need all the help I can muster to show me how to sell my wares. I made $2.5 million selling the MC68000 and DOS versions in my own province but now I am ready to market to the World.

Russell I have read your post and you have given me a great idea to start off any business I have put myself into I never thought that I can bring in personal friends, sign ups, buyers, or anyhting to any of my personal businesse's by building a personal relationship through a forum. Thanks Russell Burnson

Hi Russ,
Your paint a good reminder of the need to plan, plan, and refine your plan before launching any initiative.

I mentor a group of Internet Marketers and too often I hear all sorts of traffic generation strategies and monetization strategies and they come off so ad-hoc that I shake my head and ask them "But what's your plan?"

They look and me and say 'Plan?"

Unfortunately, too many newbie bloggers who want to generate income from their efforts seem to think that blogging about their life, or what they learned from a recent seminar is going to make them rich.

I think your posts and the posts at CYN gives them a reality check.

Crunch.! :roll:

I'm blogging you Russell.
Good stuff here for the newbie in all of us.

Becky

:lol: This is a great place to find a mastermind group. So happy to be invited! :lol:

I have already joined your forum. Great idea I think I need to set one up for my niche (Golf). I have posted a few times and have read lots of posts and am getting lots of tips and advice from the members.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Russel,

Can't agree more on the power of community marketing and the networking opportunities it offers.

On that note, I've signed up for your forum. :-)

Dear Russell,

You have a convencing personality ...I like that ..

However,I tried to register in yiur Community ,but,that requires more than one email,and different user name,please,help me to register.

Regards,

From Russell

THe usename you picked must have already been used - just try out another one.

hope this helps.

Hi Russell and all the readers. :-)

I recently became a member of your forum and I find that you gave many sound advices.

Keep up the good work. We need more people like you to help us newbies in the business.

I too am tarkgeting the baby boomers, who for one reason or another don't want to have plastic surgery.

Theresa

========
From Russell

Are you selling plastic surgery? Cause I for one would never want to buy that...

BUT...

If you are selling the benefits that come w/ plastic surgery - I'm sure you could sell me or any baby boomer. :)

Hope this helps.

Hi Russell,
I always look forward to reading
your blogs.
Keep up the GREAT Work!!!

I have joined conqueryourniche and can see that the forum is going to be a big help. I can use all the help I can get at times. Nancy

Hi Russel

I can't believe how lucky I was to get in on your forum as it launched. As a newbie it is brilliant to have such a vibrant place to go to find out various info about my new career..

Thanks for having such a great idea! (and acting on it)

Dear Russell,
Looking forward to your information that you are imparting to us who need it very badly and I thank you for already going done that road that I have not traveled yet, and am anixous to do so with your help.

Peace
Lee Wade

:D thanks,this the great in formation,really amazing.

Othman

:D Thanks,great adverts,keep up the AMAZING work.

I agree, if you don't target your market, then you are wasting your money! good point.

Hi I joined conqueryourniche 17.11.06. I have had a good look round and just posted my
introduction in my first ever forum and look forward to participating in relevant forums of interest to me.

8) I'm a watch and learn kind of guy.
I figure, if I watch you long enough, I'll know what you know.
Right?

Hello Russell:
Thanks for the invite. I thoroughly enjoy using your Conquer Your Niche forum and I try to make constructive contribution from time to time. I am only sorry that I didn't know about it sooner.

On the subject of Community Marketing, I think that it is a wonderful way to market to your niche area of business. When you have like minded people coming together in a forum, clusters of customers who may originally not be in your niche may gravitate towards you and what you have to contribute.

Step back a little and note that each of these cluster groups have affiliates that may have interests in your particular niche. Thus, by marketing yourself in a forum with useful posts that people remember may actual start to build listmembers for your site/niche without your having to resort to paid advertisements.

I like this article.

It let´s me see the things more clear.

Thanks :-)

My apprciate your endeavours and your value time you spent.
My best regards

Hi, Russell! Thanks for the info (i.e., Who is your target market? and Where can you find them?)... May I know when you will be discussing about "HOW to really get your target market to buy your product?" and "How to have some "back-end sales" later?
I appreciate as well your warm invitation into your community...If you may know, I'm already a current member... I find the forum informative, useful, and member-friendly...

Maria

This is great! just the type of thoughts I need to be thinking about, to get the right type of people to go to my website. thank Russell

Brilliant idea,Russell!

this ConquerYourNiche have give my site traffic since I join it..Thanks, man!

In general this is correct. I find offline marketing much more effective. Too many people online are looking for the quick and easy buck and aren't willing to work a business. I build online contacts with as you say targeted niche populations and there are lots of these groups out there. Directmatches seems to be one of the most dynamic I've ran into. Best of luck to all! T

Russell, this is great straightfoward information that is coming at an opportune
time in my life. Thanks.

Thanks Russell for welcoming me here, it is good to know that their is a successful people out
there to help. Especially with me that i am a beginner to this field :D .

Hey Russell, thanks for giving me the opportunity to post on your blog. You have some RICH information here that is KEY to any marketers' success online. I look forward to more of your expertise as I am always intrigued to learn more and more

Becoming a part of the target community is even more important when the community ISN'T IM. Lots of people marketing to other markets don't have an IM background giving us a bit of an edge. Thanks for your insight! Always helpful.

Warmly,
Gail

The signature file tip in forums is the way to go.
It has been responsible for many hits to my site.

Hi Russ,
I am very convinced i can go all the way with you to success and thank you for the wonderful blog opprtunity. I am just begining to see the light along this rail.
Cheers Gee.

Hi Russell,

It just makes good common sence. Thanks once again. Dennis

Hi Russell, thanks for the great info...!

Hey Russell
Great information as always...
Appreciate all that you do to contribute to the online marketing community

Thanks, I joined the forum but have not seen much traffic coming to my site yet. I guess it takes time to start getting visitors :)

Hi Russell,

What you've shared is very imformative. I have been looking for ways to drive traffics to my websites but not very successful so far. With my small marketing budget, my only option is to opt fo free marketing methodes.

I love your community and the idea about generating traffic from your target market. I do believe that point number 1 is one that is often overlooked. And then you have no idea about your target market!

Thanks for the reminders :)

Gail

Gee thanks Russell.

I just finished my first site with a new business and was looking for ideas to get traffic.
Of course - put the hook where you know your type of fish congregate. I belong to several
forums about marketing and networking. Thats the place to start.

Hi Russell,

I am a blind computer user and the biggest challenge I have is accessing sites to market any business. I have to say this site is definitely user friendly for blind folk.

Great forum that is bound to be a success just like everything that Russel Does :-)

Good onya Mate.

Hi Russell....
I have to say from everything I've seen so far - You seem to be one of "The Real Genuine People" really trying to help us Newbees out here trying to make some $$$$$ on the internet - And Believe Me coming from a die hard "Boomer Sooner" fan I had to swallow my pride to let you know I believe I can learn a whole Bunch from you and your staff....
Keep Rockin'

Hi Russell,

From all my online reading - I think it's best to start out with affiliates....and how is the
best way to begin this? I have very little money to spend right now...so I need to make
some before I can advance to the more lucrative money making programs...

Would love to hear your suggestions....many thanks!

Warm regards,
Susan

Hi Ross, thank you for your message, very interesting, well i'm not new to marketing, i do have several "stores" making me good money but i always look for more ways to improve, how do i get involved in your forum? i'm sending you some links, the best of my biz, you might find them interesting.
well, keep in touch.
best wishes for you & wife, Antonio

Hey Russell! Wanted to say that this is a nice idea. Congratulations on your achievements. Even big gurus are recommending your conqueryourniche forum. Some are even saying "why didn't I think about it first?". Well done, well done. It would be great if you added a mybloglog widget here on your blog
I'm currently mainly a blogger and registered in coqueryourniche this week.
Come see my progress at http://www.blogadollar.com

Hey Russ,

Thanx for the good info. you've provided. Looking forward to seeing/reading more. Mike seems to give a lot of credibiliity as a guru in this business also. Congrats on the new little one. Enjoy this icredible experience while their/your young. Tomorrow comes faster than we realize.

I just joined your "Conquer Your Niche" forum and took up the "once only" (great marketing device that!!) special lifetime deal. I was pleased to see it really is cheaper than the standard lifetime upgrade offer on the forum site :-).

I'm very impressed with the quality of the posts; your forum is not only a great place to build links to my sites via the sig file, but also a great study resource and source of inspiration for marketing my sites.

Thank you!

Hi Russell,

You certainly stand out as a great guy - always on the go - teaching and inventing something new. Good On Ya Mate!

Down to business, I need your help with opening my account on Blog Rush. There are some technical questions I could not answer. How does one get in touch with you/your support team?

Help! This is a desperate situation.

On the lighter side, please feel free to visit my website on The Music of Poetry. Don't panic ... I am not selling anything ... there is great content there and its my original creation. Enjoy.

Hey Russell,

Yet another great idea coming from your blog. I love all the great information that you provide to us. Keep up the fantastic work,

Michael

Hi Russell,

You recently sent me an email with a link to "Blog Rush". You also asked me to open an account. I need help to open that account. There are some "technical questions" to which I don't have the answer. For example: "URL Address" and "URL Feed". Can you help, please?

Second, I bought your program on Affiliate Landmines. I don't have access to this program or the membership site. When can you send that? This is urgent because I need to get started soon.

Please email me asap. Thanks.

Thanks again....

Aloha RussBrun & everone else reading this blog!
I must admit that my first 8 months online have been a REAL eye-opener and because of this, I am now trying different ways of getting my products & ideas across. So, here I am and it feels pretty good to be PART OF SOMETHING bigger than myself.

I have a lot to offer, but no one will ever know that if all I do is blast ads and insert URls into traffic exchanges. I guess this is why so many of the "social" sites are popping up everywhere. I have used the excuse that I don't have the time to do stuff like this....BUT..that's not entirely true! A 5 or 10 minute read & post will help me get to know all of you & hopefully vice-versa. In the long run, I may develop some relationships that lead to business deals and/or business partners.

I joined Conquer Your Niche months ago..but like many of the other "opportunities" that I joined, I couldn't tell you what is even going on there. So, I think I'll slow down a little, go on over to Conquer Your Niche & check it out.

Thanks for listening... I'll stop back soon!

Russell I always read evey email that is sent because as you know in network marketing you can always learn from other people that have been there and done that. I have been making a great living via the internet over the last two years and will always take the time to read and learn from others.

You are very creative and your posts are an eye opener for net marketers .

Thanking You.

Russell , This is great! You are really on top of the game. Thanks for reaching out to us. I know I can use all the help I can get. Just fantastic!

I consider you as one of my mentor. Basically i just release my website and just release new ebook based on my experience. Maybe you can go through and maybe give some comment.

Dear Russell,

I am curious as to how many hours per day internet marketers spend working on their websites per week. It seems to me that there must be a lot of sleep deprived people out there. Since I used to work night shifts as a nurse, I am concerned about you. So, how late do all of you get to sleep?
Blessings, EnergyJackpot

I logged into Conquer Your Niche just a few days ago and just absolutely fell in love with the concept behind it. Leave it to Russel to be the one to bring something so unique to the marketplace. Anyone thats not a member should definately join in even at the free level there are massive benifits to contributing to the site.

Hi everyone. My name is John Muyris and I'm a full time
networker since some years.

I agree that the best way to contact people about your
business or product is in communities and the social network
communities are the best places.

I started with gibLink on September 22th. and this is a
social network, revenue sharing program and webservices
all-in-one! GibLink is one of a kind because of his revenue
sharing program where everybody gets paid to be a member
of the community.

You will be able to connect with 25,000 paid members and growing each day!

I invite everybody to contact me and I'll answer you right
away to answer you any question you might have and
help you to get started. I also will support you personally.

Good luck with your endeavours.
John

Hi Russell!

I want to thank you for inviting me to the forum. I have learned so much about the "real world"
of internet marketing. It's good to see ideas that actually work. I love to learn new things and
can't think of a better way to make money while I do it!

Keep those ideas flowing,
Heather

Boy, I am glad I joined your wonderful world of niche marketing!

I am getting a ton of traffic with great results, once I narrowed it down to niche groups

I see no end in sight!!

Thanks again for the priceless information!!

Hi Russel,

I am proud to be part of your forum. Just joined a few weeks ago,found it to be a valuable tool to expose my business to the search engines and the world. Your article is inspiring and a comfort to me who is new to the NET!

Keep up the good spirit!

Great article. I really enjoyed it. I'll see you in the forum.

Fantastic Ideas!

I know you've been an advocate for forum posting for a long time. I actually use a Desktop Forum Manager software, that I'm certain you're very aware of, that helps me navigate from several different forums quite easily. So, I get to participate in a lot more forums than I could possibly manage without it. Anyway, it's been a huge benefit being able to develop those relationships and add our signature file to our posts. We've received a great deal of traffic and business by this means alone.

I would have thought you'd add a little plug for your software at the same time. It's quite useful.

See you on the board!

Nice post. The best way to learn about internet marketing, is to join a internet marketing forum.

Hi Russell, many thanks for the post, you shared some great
information, Sally :)

Hi Russell,
I think your forum is great, and I expect to learn a lot from it. Thanks, Russ

I am already a member of your niche site too. That's a great idea. Can I have a licence to build it up in Hungary? :)

I have heard these comments before about forums. I have been guilty of not practicing what I have read. I have been so busy trying to get my blog traffic, that I am ignoring what I have read many times. Hmmm, maybe something is trying to tell me something!

I will join your forum here. That should be a good start...don't you think so?-:)

Tom

Russell,
Your community is great. Find like minded people.
I have been searching for something of my avenue for awhile now. I'm finding my niche slowly yet surely over time. This is a very good blog entry. Please visit mine sometime, I'd appreciate a heavy hitter like yourself as a commenter.
