2 builders who never spoke to each other

Answer the question first, name the tool second

Two builders found the same route in: watch for threads where people are asking for what you sell, write the reply that actually helps the person asking, and mention the product only after the help has landed. One such comment sent close to six hundred readers to a site, and another was tied to a direct sale during a record month. The order is what makes the link welcome rather than spam.

The method

1. 01

   Watch the community forums your buyers read for questions your product answers, and write the most useful reply; a single well-placed comment can produce sales.

2. 02

   Find threads inside your own subject area, leave advice that genuinely helps the person asking, and only then mention your product - that sequence is what makes the link welcome.
