One of the ways to build rapport and generate traffic to one’s website is to engage actively into Forum.

Forum, simplified to my understanding means a virtual place where people come together and post / answer questions to any topics.

In the case of Yahoo Answers, there is a broad category ranging from leisure to business. Since I have bought the domain of jewelryretaileronline.com and I like to market all d necklaces offered by Mary, I went through d questions that people generally r interested in.

One of d ‘tricks’ to build rapport in Forum is to poise as a consultant and give advice to whoever posted the questions. Of course, in order to be a consultant, one would have to specialize in one specific category eg. health.

In my case, I tried beauty and style category but was disappointed by d type of questions people generally post. Saw the trend of tattoo and feel a bit loss as to how to post a question regarding necklace.

Nevertheless, I browsed through parenting and pregnancy category and am pleased that my pending second online business is viable. Unlike health, which I did see a virtual ‘guru’ who is so outstanding that ‘he’ answered most of d question posted and even offer quality solutions. Was even ranked by Yahoo as the top solution provider.

Hmm… maybe my chance in parenting category.
