Not-so-cheap marketing secrets revealed for free, unlike this guy (http://www.forumsecretsrevealed.com/) who charge money .. kiddin. these are my own, tried tested burnt purified.



on launch date: number of forums should be less. get at least 2, 3 friends, relatives or fake ids to post some content. esp juicy attachments. Like i put real salary slips, leaked offer letters, which no one gets to ever see otherwise.
u got a job currently? or had a job previously? am more interested in the latter. get hold of a guy/ex colleague/friend from your previous company, and ask him/her to send you [hideously?] the distribution lists from his exchange server

those will be plain names
download edit plus, format them into email address using macro scripts in one shot
e.g. A, Jayaraju; Ahuja, Sudhir; Amalapuram, Ananta;... were given to me, in 2 clicks i converted them into Jayaraju.A@companymail.com; Sudhir.Ahuja@companymail.com; Ananta.Amalapuram@companymail.com;

ready to nuke? prepare your missiles first.. no one is interested in plain bland marketing emails. though i am not proponent of using sex and nudity in your marketing emails, at least use a name of a pretty female, in whose lives everyone is interested.

in india, for e.g. there was a hindi movie which captured and commercialized on romantic sentiments of teenagers. it had a bubbly sweet girl by the name of Aditi [a common name otherwise in india]
find such a name in your vernacular, like Sonia? Mary [too sacred], eva? elizabeth [too old], Honey [too wifey].. so get find such a name of a female whom people crave after insidiously. dont go for celine dion, pamela, etc.. lest people take u for a .. u know what ;)

Compose a mail missile launcher, in subject use something like this Re: Amazing aditi, this is cool n hot.. OfficeChai.com ..! replace aditi with your sonia or her sister.. whatever.
start your email with,
Yes Aditi,
Now we can find and post all the inside scoops and latest news about internal hiring, layoffs, salary hikes/increments, pay structure at this forum.. and

keep an extra conversation laid out in mail thread, but only one like me. i have mostly tapped indian sentiment, dont know how can you rattle the chain of normal americans
that other mail thread may not be from aditi, but from another or any guy.. keep balanced text
in that email, format slightly weirdly the placements of logo, font color, different font types, etc.. u get the idea.. it shud look as if you sent your gratitude to aditi , and in the process aditi shud disappear and your forums shud be the crux
here too it shudnt be too much descriptive, use bullets

see my attached file that I've been using to nuke the victims at their official work email ids

now don't take out the entire city with your missile, less you get bombed yrself. bombard 30 at a time, every hour. patiently. dont get greedy by cutting the goose to get all the golden eggs at once--u wont find any.

some of the recipients might reply you innocently, asking who you are, or irately, asking who the hell are you. keep this text ready:

oops.. seems some spam bot is running here ..

--
But that site, OfficeChai.com was greatly amazing!

*Worth checking out.. esp if we’ve an IT scampering career .. that forum really propels our career forward--fresher or senior!
anyway .. apologies, .. ..


am tryin to kill this mail trojan
byee


start bombarding regularly, but consistently to drag their butts to your forum,
keep adding juicy content from different ids. keep forum numbers very less.
hide initially the thread and view count like I've done in my forum here (http://www.officechai.com/forum)they're there, but that long list of 0, 1, 2 n single digit number wont embarrass you.

write to me for any clarifications. :D all the best..

[pranaysanghavi]

PM me with your email id if you want the exact email and layout with logo, etc.. tapping psychology is more important i feel. may be i'll try to generate a pdf.

though you need to customize that email heavily, still many senior reciepients might shrug it off as spam. [thats why nuking less than 30 40 at a time] but if your target audience is youngsters, then all the better.

see the screenshot. but its only the upper half, cant seem to fit that long mail in one shot in paint brush. Also notice how


i customized outlook toolbar for that big RESEND THIS MESSAGE button
do not use forward, or reply all.
keep all the recepients in BCC [most important]
sometimes neighbouring colleagues might talk about getting the same email, but who cares


nuke them all, all out of love and passion..

Well you seemed to have overlooked the fact that spamming in countries like the UK can get you into BIG trouble with the law!

[MRGTB]

You can use the same principle on Newsgroups if you have access to them. Thing is though, all these members you've got using spam emails. Yet, I see very little on your site to say they are posting?

So in the long-run, it done nothing much really as such.

[pranaysanghavi]

It wont just work by trapping them alone, if you look at my site, i constantly try to keep them engaged by putting juicy content and inciting them to talk.

yes at my site initially you might see more posts from me, but even others do--and will--gradually post. in fact many have overcome the shyness and started intermingling. the most difficult is how to make them visit, and then register..

Once they taste your blood, it is upto you to make them keep coming back for more. I've around 600 posts, obviously I've not made that many, not even 1/3rd, nor have my 3 inception friends done that many. Not to forget, at Chai forums the 500+ members have landed to get hot sips in just a period of 31 days--solely because of the smart spamming technique I just outlayed. It works. no harm in trying, but I didnt know that this is called as a spam, cuz it is not bulk mail, but little by little buckets of water you draw out of the well.

the idea is out of the haystack of all the spam victims [which are targeted in my case cuz of my career niche] even if we get 2, 3 active members, that is worth all the effort--they keep the Chai boiling. In fact the initial people like our close friends and relatives whom we begged to visit and register, and who did out of obligation will run away fastest with their tails up--but keep the search on, few strangers might become your forum's lifeblood.

solely because of the smart spamming technique I just outlayed
Whoaa.. this is the first time I ever meet a spam industry professional. May I have your autograph please?

[MRGTB]

Your forgetting another thing, when I get spam emails in hotmail. I usually report them as "phishing Spam". So lets say you send me one, and I report it (which I will) to help with spam prevention. You might be in for a suprise.

Its only a matter of time before someone else does the same who gets emails from you.

Whoaa.. this is the first time I ever meet a spam industry professional. May I have your autograph please?
You can get it at my site ;)

[MRGTB]

I have to be honest, I would'nt have a go at the guy. He's simply using all the tools he can to try and get new members. At least where seeing a person who is going out his way to get new members, and thinking of ways to do it. Unlike most here, who just post messages asking how to get members all the time.

Nice to see a person using his loaf for once. All be it via spam emails. :D
