Forums are Still Important!

There isn’t a lot of talk about forums in Social Media Marketing lately. Books, magazines and online resources rarely talk about forums anymore. So that begs a qusetion, is it still worth spending time on forums as part of a social media marketing strategy? I asked on Twitter.

According to Chris Bogan and Steve Haase, niche-specific forums are still important part of marketing mix.

@jorgemlee: In your opinion, do you think that Forums (not social networks) are dead? I’m talking about niche vBulletin-type forums.

@chrisbrogan: I’m part of a very successful forum right now and launching more. I’llsay I’m bullish

@stevehaase: totally agree with @chrisbrogan. Having a private, niche-based space to go into nitty-gritty with each other is very valuable.
