Marketing On Newsgroups

Before the birth of the World Wide Web, online marketers relied heavily on newsgroups. Although many have slowly wandered away from this method of internet marketing, newsgroups are definitely surviving (and thriving).

Business related newsgroups continue to see a steady flow of posts, some numbering over one hundred per day. These raw numbers alone, lend support to the rationale that newsgroup marketing is worthwhile.

With that said, here's a bit of a jump start if you're interested in trying newsgroup marketing. The following list should keep you busy for a little while. Below you'll find 33 of the most popular newsgroups among online marketers.

Remember the golden rule. Before posting to a newsgroup, it's a good idea to "lurk" for a while. By this, we mean read other posts for a while before actually posting to a newsgroup. Many newsgroups do not allow blatant advertising. A more tactful approach is to answer others posts with helpful information, including your "marketing signature". An effective marketing signature will tell others what you have to offer and how to contact you for more information.
