How to become a webmaster? (Part – 5)

Now that you have learned about user control panel, let’s learn how we can make some money while we are learning the basics of becoming a webmaster, asking doubts in the forum with other members out there. Yup, even while you ask your doubts with the fellow webmasters out there, you’ll be making money. Making money online should not be the only aim of registering in a forum. If that’s the case, you’ll end up learning nothing and chances are that, you’ll will be soon banned from the site. And once you get banned from a webmaster forum, then never ever you’ll be able to create an account there. Having said that, if you are ready to follow things the right way, lets start.

In your user control panel, you’ll see an option to update signature. But what is a signature and what’s its use? When you post something, you can include your signature also along with it. This way, for every post that you make, you’ll be able to show your signature as well. How can that do any benefit to you. If you use your signature space the right way, you’ll see some money coming because of it. You can put website links in the signature space. It should not be simply the links themselves. You should write a catchy title and then you should hyperlink it. For example, if you are having a site that sells toys, you can write the title as “buy toys online”, and then you can hyperlink the title with your site’s url. This way, whenever you post a reply or start a thread, you’ll be promoting your website. People will see your link title, and if interested, they’ll visit it. Isn’t it the easiest way to promote your site?

On the other hand, if you don’t have any sites with you, then also you’ll be benefiting from it. There are members in webmaster forums that buy signature spots. The maximum number of links that can be placed in your signature space is four. So, you’ll be able to sell four link spots in your signature space.

How to become a webmaster? (Part – 1)

Before you move any further, you should be registering at some webmaster forums. I’d recommend you to register at the top 2-3 webmaster forums rather than registering at just one. But why to register at those sites? I know you’ll be asking that question.

Webmaster forums are sites where you’ll find experienced webmasters. What are they doing there? They’ll be either promoting their business, or simply helping others. By helping others, their reputation is gonna increase, and they will be also getting some other benefits. We’ll discuss those things some other day.

So webmaster forums are just for experienced webmasters? Nope, not like that. There you’ll see people like you as well. They’ll be either learning things from other webmasters or practicing what they have learned. You can start by clearing your doubts. You’ll get surprised when you see, even new members replying to your queries. That’s because they might have already got answers to such questions from experienced webmasters out there when they asked those kinda questions earlier, when they were new there.

Don’t feel shy to ask questions. The questions that you might be feeling to ask may sound simple even for you. But, if you are having doubts, then you should ask them and clear those doubts the same moment. Only then, you’ll be able to become a successful webmaster. One thing to note is that – don’t spam the forum with questions that are already asked by others. Before you ask questions, its recommended to search for answers using the search facility provided in the forum. And even after visiting the threads started by others, if you’re still having doubts, then go ahead and clear your doubts by starting a new thread. Again, make sure that you are starting threads at the right place. There will be different sections in the site for discussing different topics like programming, business, blogging, search engines, marketing, search engine optimization etc. There will be a general section as well, where you’ll be able to ask general questions that don’t fit under any other section.

That’s all for now. Check out the next part for more.
