Chat rooms were an integral part of the Internet’s sense of community up until the mid-2000’s. There was a time when most sites at least had a forum or an Internet Relay Chat set up. These were forums in the Roman sense of the word, meant for discussion and business purposes. Portals to find specific chat rooms and forums were at one point our primary (if not only) method of accessing specific demographics. If you wanted to advertise to baseball fanatics, you bought a banner ad on baseball-fever.com. If you were trying to profile comic book readers, you went to community.comicbookresources.com and asked questions.

However, chat rooms and forums are not dead. They’ve merely incorporated themselves into existing social media sites. Comment sections on sites are common, and websites like Reddit and Linkedin Groups offer you access to, and feedback from, a community of professionals and amateurs in the field you’re trying to access.

If you’re trying to engage with a specific segment directly, your best bet is to seek out these niche communities. Here are some very general social rules that you should follow before you take the plunge.

The biggest mistake that people make is that they can make a single post and then bolt. You’re representing a product or a company when you enter these communities, and if you want them to remember your name you need to do more than just post once about how great your product is if you want to see any kind of results. Take the time to read, comment on and share other posts. Be helpful where you can and offer advice when people ask for it.

It’s important to remember that you are a stranger in this community. If you come in touting the strengths of your product, chances are you’ll receive the same kind of welcome a door-to-door salesperson would. If you’re going to promote your product, make sure you’re offering some other benefit as well.
