i need a tool to invest in to enable me to spam forums with messages advertising my product.
any ideas please?? thanks. does scrapebox still work?
Scrapebox "works" great, but it doesn't post on forums. GSA search engine ranker can and Xrumer, probably the 2 best.
you have to consider what BassTracker said though. I mean I can tell you from using tools to drive traffic outside of search engines, the relevancy is really important.
You can get traffic using tools like Xrumer and SER to just bomb, but you will push away like 99.9% of people. So if you have a MASSIVE market, then that can work.
But if people will be that interested then I would just grind myself for a while and test. Then hire a VA or go to scale.
If you grind it out and no one is biting then you don't have a "lot" to lose by going to scale with a tool, except your reputation, so it just depends.
One thing I would do, if you go to scale, is to add as much distance as possible. Stamp out a copy of your site, slightly alter the business name, like a DBA etc.. As much as you can get away with. Ive worked with many scenarios and some work better with this then others.
Ive worked in grind mode plenty and Ive worked at scale with millions of people as a target market.
Also I would think of it like an email, the point of your post is to sell the click. Assuming you have a good landing page, you can sell better there then on the forum. So keep the forum post short and sweet.
Ideally comment on whats there and then ask them a question that they will answer Yes to but that also reminds them of pain.
That or just something like
In relation to X would this help?

Anyway thats my 2 cents. Remember cold marketing is cold marketing, you will get happy customers and pissed off people alike. Although if done right you tend to get more happy customers then pissed off people.
