Using Forum Submitter Pro

[Jeffray Szczodroski]

Quick Start

How to start your advertising campaign right away!

If you have ever tried a grassroots campaign to market your website, product or service through online message boards, you know that it can be a great way to generate traffic and sales. There are lots of benefits: it's free, you are communicating directly with your potential customers, and it creates hundreds of sites that are linking to you, which then show up in search engines as well.

It has its downsides too: being accused of spamming, trying to keep up with responses to your messages, and having to deal with all sorts of different message formats.

Thankfully, this software will fix all those problems and allow you to deliver highly effective campaigns quickly and easily.

Step One: Enter a message into the message editor. This message should be plain text, not HTML or any other bulletin board code. Later on, your message can be formatted into any number of different board codes automatically.

You should start all links with http:// so that the software will be able to find them and format them properly later on.

Step Two: Save your message by clicking the Save button. This way you can create multiple messages and load them at any time.

Step Three: Use the browser section of the program to go to a message board that is related to your product, service or website. You can find thousands of message boards on ezboard.com, or use your favorite search engine: enter relevant keywords plus “message board”, “bulletin board”, “UBB”, “Forums”, or other related terms. Once you have a found a forum you like, you may want to add it to the “Your Forums” tabs, which tracks your forums. You can enter a username/password for the forum for easy access in the future.

Step Four: Find the posting page for the bulletin board, where you can post a new message.

Step Five: Choose the proper format for the message from the dropdown box. You can choose from text, html, ezboard or ultimate bulletin board, or create your own.

Step Six: Click “Preview” to see how your message will look when formatted.

Step Seven: If you are happy with the formatting of the message, click “Auto-Insert”. This will automatically format the message that is currently in the Message Editor and insert it into the form on the posting page. If the message is not automatically inserted, just click on the message area of the posting page, and then click “Paste Message”. Afterwards, click the submit button on the posting page.

Step Eight: Pay attention to the “Your Posts” section of the program. Click “Watch this Post” while you are viewing the page your post appears on. This will watch your message for replies so that you can come back later and respond to your potential customers.

Watching replies has many benefits: If you respond to replies, not only will people appreciate it and not label you a “spammer”, but it will also boost your message back up to the top of the message board where more people will read it!

Repeat the process: Post your message all over the place. You will see a surge of activity on your website. Your posts will be added to search engines and people looking for products similar to yours will find them. Your site will increase its search engine ranking because of all the sites that link to you. Using this technique, our websites have grown exponentially, getting new members every day. Eventually you won't have to post any more messages at all!

More advanced features: Once you get the hang of the software, read through the rest of this help file for a more detailed overview of the software.
