Networking With Online Forums

Here’s how one home-based business owner networks with potential customers through an online forum:

Dave Roccaforte is the founder and owner of Roccaforte Amps, a Brea, California-based manufacture of high-end electric guitar amplifiers used by professional musicians such as Marc Ford, Ben Harper, Cesar Rosas, and many others. Sure, Dave could be content attending trade shows, developing his dealer network, and placing advertisements in guitar magazines, but he also spends time at the Amps discussion forum, which is most likely the most popular guitar-amplifier forum on the internet. Dave is a very well-known and popular regular there. Not only is he a colorful personality with strong opinions and a wry sense of humor but he is also respected by forum members as one of today’s greatest guitar-amplifier designers and manufacturers. The fact that he spends time on the site and is willing to give his advice and opinions about topics of interest to forum members keeps his products front and center in their minds and develops a buzz that no amount of advertising alone could buy, leading to lots of additional sales, sales that wouldn’t have occurred without Dave’s presence on the site.
