7. Allow your prospects to chose between a retail or wholesale price. Charge people a membership fee to always get products at wholesale cost.

8. Allow other related web sites that don't have a chat room to link to yours. They'll get use of a free chat room and you'll draw extra traffic to your site.

9. Increase perceived value of your free stuff or bonuses by including retail dollar amount freebie would normally sell for.

10. Create your own web ring. You will gain highly targeted traffic to your web site and others will link to your site because they'll want to join ring.

Not all forums are of equal caliber. Most are just filled with ads and are a complete waste of your time. These are some of better forums I found on web and I'm sure they'll be able to help you out. I know they've helped me.

Remember to make sure that your posts are relevant to topic of forum.

Here are my favorites.
