With the rise of social media, people often forget that online forums have been providing a similar medium of interacting with other people for years.

Not only can they provide an excellent resource for finding assistance with any problems you may be having (particularly with online business), they can make for a great branding tool.

You will be branding your image (similar to how you would in any social media marketing campaign) by helping others out and providing a signature with your logo and URL. This is also a great way to generate web traffic.

This would certainly be the case if you consistently provided valuable information to others. It could in fact inspire people to look for your blog if they like what you are offering in the forums (an interesting point pointed out by a commenter on a SmallBusinessNewz article on the topic).

The bottom line is that forums can forums can drive awareness and traffic towards your site, and ultimately lead to you making more money.
