How to become a webmaster? (Part – 7)

This is the seventh part of our “How to become a webmaster” series. In the earlier parts, we have studied things like what is a webmaster forum, how to create an account in a webmaster forum, the different parts of a webmaster forum, earning money by selling forum signature etc. Now its time to learn something advanced.

One of the main aims of a webmaster should be to create some reputation over at webmaster forums. Let’s take the case of DP (digital point forums). Here, the reputation of a member is decided based on the reputation blobs the member has got. New members start with one blob. Reputation blobs are small blocks in green color that you’ll see on the right side of each member’s posts. On the right side, there will be total number of posts, join date (the date on which the member joined the forum) and also the reputation blobs. New members will be with just one blob. A member with all the reputation blobs, fully filled are extremely useful members of the forum and they are treated as reputed members. So, how can you become a reputed member just like them?

You can also become a reputed member just like them. It’s not that tough as it might seem. The blob count will go on increasing based on the number of quality posts you make in the forum. But it’s not an automated process. If someone likes your post, he may give you a +1 rating for your post. On the other hand, if they don’t like, then they may give a negative rating. This way, while you keep on contributing to the forum, you’ll see your reputation points and reputation blobs increasing. But, sometimes you may not get any rating for your post even if it’s a damn great one. Only if someone likes it and gives it a rating, you’ll get one. Not all members at DP rate posts even if they like them. Its not because they don’t want to make others reputed, but it’s because they are not used to it. But there are members who always rate posts that are informative. So, keep posting informative things. Soon you will see the number of blobs in your profile increasing.

How to become a webmaster? (Part – 6)

As promised in the last part of our “how to become a webmaster” series, in this part, we’ll be telling you more about signatures and how to utilize it the the best way.

For every post that you make in the webmaster forum, you’ll be able to show a maximum of four links using your signature space. If you want to promote just single site, then you can make the title longer. Otherwise you’ll have to use shorter titles for each of the links. That’s because there is a limit in the number of characters that can be placed in the signature space. So use it wisely. But you may, find some other cool forums like netbuilders, which will allow you to put more than four links.

Now lets learn how to make some easy money online by selling signature links. The earnings from selling signatures will depend on the number of posts that you have made. The more your posts in the forum, the more will be your earnings out of selling signature links. Thinking that you’ll be getting more money, don’t go and spam the forum, you’ll be noted by the moderators of the forum if you attempt to do so and within few minutes, your account will be banned permanently.

The current market price for a single link spot is $5 if the member has made about 1000 posts in the forum. And if you are selling all the four, then with that much number of posts, you’ll be making around $20 per month. But remember your primary aim should not be to make money by selling signature links. Your aim should be to learn the basics of becoming a webmaster. During your journey in becoming a successful webmaster you’ll have automatically made some decent number of posts. Remember that there are different rules in different webmaster forums regarding what to post, how to post, and where to post. So, before you attempt posting, read the rules and regulations of the forum carefully. One of the webmaster forums which is with easy rules that can be followed by anyone is Netbuilders.org – just create an account there and feel the difference. Also, they don’t ban members for no reasons like some other forums. But, if you do spamming, then they will do it surely.

We hope that, now you have learned something about webmasters and webmaster forums. Now you might be thinking that your journey in becoming a webmaster would be easy. Right? Hey, it’s not that easy. We’ll tell you why it’s so, – through the coming episodes of the “how to become a webmaster” series.

You have also learned about creating a user account in a webmaster forum. Now its time for you to familiarize the various features that are available in a webmaster forum.

There are different webmaster forums. In the same manner, there are different forum softwares as well. So, the features available in two different forums can be different. But it’s a fact that, most of the top webmaster forums like DP, NP, SP, Netbuilders etc are using the V-bulletin forum software. It’s one of the best forum software that has a lot of features in it. Okay, leave the v-bulletin thing. That’s not important for us. We are here to talk about the features in a webmaster forum. Our talks will be based on the v-bulletin forum software since most of the webmaster forums are using v-bulletin. Okay, so here we start.

After creating an account, the first thing you should be doing is to update your profile. Profile is something which others will view in order to know more about you. In the profile you can include your email address, your instant messenger ids, your website url etc. You can also mention about what you do, what are your hobbies, interests etc. For accessing the profile you should enter the user control panel. In most of the webmaster forums, it’ll be something like “user cp”. After clicking which you’ll be taken to the user control panel. Then on the left side, you’ll see an option to update your profile. You should be clicking there in order to update your profile as mentioned above.

From the user control panel you can change the password of your account as well. Once you get into the user control panel, you’ll learn everything. There is nothing much to worry, you’ll be given information regarding how to do these things ni the site itself. Just click on the various links and give whatever information you are planning to give about yourself.

Now that you have got an idea about user cp or user control panel in a webmaster forum, lets get into some more complicated things. In the next section we’ll be teaching you one of the easiest way to make money online without you even knowing about it. So stay tuned for part 5 of the “how to become a webmaster” series.

How to become a webmaster? (Part – 3)

After going through the last two parts of our “how to become a webmaster” series, you would have understood that its not money that’s important for becoming a webmaster, but its time and effort from your side. And a webmaster forum is the right platform for you to make a start.

Now that you have planned to spend a few hours daily at webmaster forums, lets look into things that you should be doing there. At first your ultimate aim should be to learn. You may find others talking about making money online. Don’t rush and get into those things before you learn the basics. There are a lot of things to learn and understand before you should even think about making money online.

We have been mentioning the word “forum” for some time now. Do you know what exactly is a forum? How is it different from a normal website? See, forums are websites where people can register an account and start discussions. While registering for an account, you’ll be asked to provide a username and password. The username can be anything easy to spell. And while choosing a password make sure that, you create a unique one. Don’t use the same password everywhere. If the password is a mix of alphabets and numbers, then it would be a stronger one than the usual one which people create using just alphabets.

After creating an account in the webmaster forum, you’ll have to use the username and password of your account to login there in the site. Always you should be logged in if you want to discuss something with the community. If you are accessing the site from your personal laptop, then you can make the browser to save the username and password for you. This way, every time you open the site, you’ll be automatically logged in without even typing the username or password.

That’s it for now. In the next part, we’ll be telling you about the user interface of a webmaster forum. After going through the next part, you’ll be in a position to send personal messages, emails to other members of the forum and the such. You’ll be learning about signatures, profiles and other such things as well. So stay tuned to know more – on how to become a webmaster.

How to become a webmaster? (Part – 2)

In the first part of our “how to become a webmaster” series, we’ve discussed about the first step that you should be taking in order to become a successful webmaster. It was about registering in webmaster forums, where you’ll be learning the basics. It is to be understood that, no one is born as an expert, people become experts after practicing what they have learned. But for practicing something, you should be first of all learning something. With nothing in your brain, you won’t get anywhere. So, as we have mentioned in the first part, the key to success is to learn the basics and then practice it. In this part we’ll be concentrating on this topic.

If you want to become a webmaster, then one of the best place where you’ll be getting the right coaching is from webmaster forums. You won’t have to spend any money for it. But you’ll have to spend something else. That’s nothing, but time. Only if you are having time to spend at webmaster forums, you’ll be learning something from there. You won’t be able to learn everything the very first day. You may have to spend days or even months. That will depend on the skills that you are with, at the moment. If you know something about webmasters and what they does, then things will be easy for you. On the other hand, if you know nothing, then it’ll take you some time to learn the basics. Again, nothing is impossible, if you are with the determination to learn it at any cost, then time is the only thing that should be with you. And you’ll learn everything in no time. No doubt about it.

So that’s it, there is no need to make any investment, there is no need to hire any personal coach to teach you things, there is no need to attend any classes neither. All you have to do is – make yourself prepared to spend some time everyday, for learning the basic things at webmaster forums. This way, in no time, you’ll be learning the basics of becoming a webmaster.

We’ll throw more light on this topic in the next part of our “how to become a webmaster” series. So, stay tuned.
