If you're a member of a forum and you haven't thought much about your sig file, you may be leaving a ton of money on the table. Over the last few months, I've made tens of thousands of dollars as a direct result of people clicking on my sig file and buying my products and services. Yes, believe it or not, people do click on sig files.

What's a sig file? A signature file is a little blurb you write about your business that is automatically attached to every forum post you make. In actuality, it's really a FREE advertisement that if used correctly can be very effective.

The problem is, most people don't use sig files correctly. They either don't use one at all, or their sig file is so poorly written no one will bother to click on it. What a waste! Since the forum administrators allow you to use a sig file to promote your business, you should try to write one that will compel people to click on it. A compelling sig file will generate traffic to your website, as well as create those all important inbound links.

If you don't have a website to send people to, join an affiliate program and post your affiliate link in your sig file. Look, if you've been looking for a way to promote your business for free, you have an amazing FREE ad that has the potential to be seen by thousands of people, right under your nose.

There's only one caveat. This free method of promoting your business will not work, unless you add value to the forum by contributing on a regular basis.
