This would obviously mean only people with money in their accounts could post. I think it would be a very good idea. It would reduce the number of nonsense threads and posts and if all the monies raised were donated to a very worthy charity like a children's hospice who could possibly moan?
I cannot see a downside at all.

It's a real feel good factor idea I think. We would know every post, however mundane, is at least going towards a good cause. Imagine if we could raise a few thousand pounds in a year, something that would really make a difference to somebody. It would be great.

I wonder if Betfair would be interested in hearing about my idea? It would have the obvious benefit to them of meaning anyone who wished to post would have to keep their accounts funded.

Posting to forums and message boards is a great way to get traffic, network with potential clients and brand yourself in the online community. Posting to forums and message boards doesn't cost any money and can be done in your spare time.
Posting on niche market forums can be an effective means of getting targeted traffic to your capture pages PLUS networking with people who are into the same things that you are. The coolest thing about joining and posting on message boards is that every post you leave will have what is known as a signature file left on it (which will contain a link to your capture page but more on that later). The beauty behind marketing on forums isn't that you go out and directly advertise your product, service, opportunity on the board, in fact I do the complete opposite! Get involved in the community and leave your signature file on every post you make. Think of your signature file as your footprint that you get to leave behind every time you make a post on a forum/message board. It always stays there, steering targeted and interested visitors to your capture page. As long as you use discussion boards wisely and don't break any of the board rules, you can get access to huge marketing benefits. Not just in terms of people getting to know and respect your expertise, but in terms of the traffic you'll receive from the links that are attached to your posts and signature files.

You want to build a specific capture system page for 2 very important reasons: * The page you create can speak directly to the audience that is viewing it. If you know that everyone who will see this page just came from a message board, you can customize the page to reflect that. * You want to keep specific stats on how much traffic you get from posting on message boards and how many people opt in to become leads from this strategy. Step #2 - Build a capture page that will ONLY be used for Forum Marketing There are a couple of other things you should always aim to do when making a splash page; * Focus the page so it is directed at the audience coming from the message board posts. For example if you like golf and are posting to forums on that topic, add a picture of you a the golf course with a heading like..."Here I am at _____! The reason I am able to spend 20 hours a week playing golf is......Let me show you how I was able to achieve my dream...." * The page should be clean and has a set color scheme that matches the background. Not to much color, I would stick to 2 or 3 at the most. * Have your name and information plastered all over the page. When you follow up with this person, you want them to already have a picture in their mind that you are someone who can show them how to achieve success and solve their problems. The reader should also know that you value you time, so be sure to detail you office hours. This is the power of "positioning" when using your capture page! Just getting my money's worth. |

Exactly. All that for a penny, it's a bargain. And you'd be doing a good turn as well.

By:
£10 for any spelling mistake.

By:
thats scandulas 10 pounds
|
|
By:
for £10 I wo'nt make any then
|
|
By:
No, misspella s much as you like Phil. It would be too hard to charge for something like that anyway, but to take a penny from an account for each post doesn't sound too difficult a thing to organise technology wise, does it?
|
|
By:
Good idea munch man. Quite happy with it.
|
|
By:
I wonder how much it would raise in a year?
|
|
By:
Postings about cats to cost 9p.
|
|
By:
couldnt we make it 0.1p a post
|
|
By:
Does anybody have a reasonable idea roughly how many posts across all the forums are made in one year?
|
|
By:
Quite a lot.
|
|
By:
more than a million?
|
|
By:
I'd say so, across all fora.
|
|
By:
It would raise £10,000 per million posts wouldn't it?
|
|
By:
Yes

Any post by some ponces longing to be the next Gordon Ramsey should cost £50. The amount of threads that mention food and have some c0ck posting something like:
Just pan fry it in a light olive oil. Add a smidge of garlic and sprinkle a bit of feta and grill for 10 minutes....mmmmmmmmm...delish. You type of people need to take a long look at yourself. Foodie wannabes. |
