This is NOT your typical sales page because I'm not your typical Internet Marketing Guru hawking "pie in the sky" dreams, telling you that this software is the "Be All to End All..."  I've seen more than my share of these sales pages that hype up a software program or ebook and creatively embellish their super abilities.  My intention here is simply to introduce myself, tell you how I came to see a need for our Desktop Forum Manager software application, and how it will benefit you if you agree that it's the Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread!!!

Okay, have you had enough clichés for one day?  Let's get down to business.  I promise I'll keep it short and sweet because this really is a fantastic program and I'd hate to diminish its value with a long, drawn out, series of nonsense marketing tactics.  This software is about saving time, so I'm not going to waste yours or mine.

My name is Jennifer.  I've owned and operated a retail business in San Diego for several years as well as being Co-Founder and major contributor of IndieRetailer.com.  Running our retail operation and administering Indie Retailer are my primary objectives.  This is why I've kept the IndieRetailer.com header at the top of this page instead of dedicating a specific website solely for this software.

As an administrator and webmaster for all of our websites, I participate in a LOT of forums and message boards.  I would spend several hours per week just maintaining my memberships, usernames, passwords, posts, and responses.  Not to mention the Private Messages other forum members would send me.  Of course I realized the benefits of all my hard work by:

• Being able to establish credibility for myself as an expert in my field.
   

• Placing direct links to our websites in my signature files so that each post generated another one-way link.
   

• Realizing that each new one-way link was going to increase our search engine rankings.
   

• Realizing that each new one-way link from my signature file was yet another link for more potential customers to click through to our websites which has generated a ton of new traffic.

However, my biggest problem was that, as beneficial as participating in more than a dozen forums and keeping track of all my logins, posts, and responses was, it is a time consuming and tedious task.  I thought, "There has to be a more efficient way of promoting your website with forums!"

That's how I came up with Desktop Forum Manager

Okay, now understand I AM NOT A PROGRAMMER!  I'm a retail expert and webmaster... with a great idea!  As such, I wrote down everything that I wanted this program to do and I contacted a friend at a software development firm.  I gave them my wish list of features and after some back and forth with changes and adjustments, Desktop Forum Manager became a reality!

I've been using it for a couple months now for my own purposes, and I'll tell you what, these guys NAILED IT!  I'm now able to participate in all the forums that I was currently active in, PLUS join a couple more that I didn't have time for before, AND still save a whole lot of time that was previously consumed!

Of course, being the entrepreneurial spirit that I am, I then thought "What better way to cover my development costs and maybe make a few bucks on the side, then to offer it to all of my colleagues?"  So, here you are...

Let me tell you a bit more about this program and, as excited as I am, I'll try to keep the hype to a minimum.

Desktop Forum Manager will help you join and participate in an unlimited number of forums and message boards right from your own desktop.  If you haven't gathered by now, joining forums is a great way to gain credibility as an expert in your field and generate tons of incoming one way links to your website. Placing your website links in your forum signature file, provides you with multitudes of one-way links back to your website. The amount of time that you'll save by using this application can be reinvested into either joining more forums, or focusing on other marketing efforts. Desktop Forum Manager is a highly effective traffic generator, credibility booster, and a tremendous time saver!

Here's a simple breakdown of what Desktop Forum Manager will do for you:

• Allows you to join an unlimited number of forums related to any industry you wish.
   

• Once joined, you're able to post messages to all the forums and message boards that you're a member of.
   

• You're able to store your most frequently used messages, like your introduction, within the Desktop Forum Manager application to use over and over again.
   

• You can store all of your forum usernames and passwords within the Desktop Forum Manager application for easy input when signing into each forum.
   

• Built in browser will take you to your each of your forums as you command without ever having to leave the application.
   

• You can track and respond to all your forum posts that other members have responded to from within the Desktop Forum Manager application.
   

• Desktop Forum Manager runs directly on your desktop and you're able to manage all of your forums without multiple windows open. Only an Internet connection is needed.
   

• Saves you a tremendous amount of time by being able to manage all of these tasks and enabling you to join and participate in more forums.

We participate in a lot of home based, small business, and entrepreneur type message boards. Desktop Forum Manager has helped save us a great deal of time, increase our website traffic, which in turn has directly resulted in more sales.

Desktop Forum Manager is a complete, self contained program. No feature limited "Lite" versions here. There is nothing else to buy. It works with every message forum on the Internet and you decide which ones to join and participate in. All you have to do is join the forums that are related to your business (search Google -- there are hundreds of them in your niche market) and let Desktop Forum Manager start driving new customers directly to your website where they belong.

Again, make no mistake about this.  This is NOT some kind of automated thoughtless spam machine.  You are actually joining all the forums, actively participating, and devoting thought to your posts.  Desktop Forum Manager is simply making this process a hundred times more efficient!

Here's a Simple 3 Step Process To Show How Desktop Forum Manager Works:

1. After joining all the forums of your choice, Desktop Forum Manager lists them in 'Your Forums' to select from any time you choose.  Click on the one you want to navigate to.
    

2. Find the topic of discussion within each forum that you want to comment on.
    

3. Type in the 'Subject' of your post as well as your complete commentary in this area, then click on the "paste" buttons to automatically insert your comments into the forum posts.

Okay, I hope by now you can appreciate the fact that this software is really worth a lot more hype than I've provided here.  But again, that's not the direction I wanted to go with this.  All those high pressure sales tactics apparently work for some, but this is about simple time management and providing another highly effective website marketing and promotional tool.  If you can't see the value in Desktop Forum Manager by now, no amount of flashy sales hype is going to change that at this point.

So, here's where I put my money where my mouth is!  I'm so confident that you will realize the benefit in Desktop Forum Manager, that I'm offering a fully functional demo version for FREE!

That's right, FREE.  Download the full demo version of Desktop Forum Manager right now and use it all you want for the next 14 days.  Join new forums or even program in the ones you already participate in.  If Desktop Forum Manager doesn't do everything I said it would, then simply uninstall it and continue on your merry way!  No fuss, no muss!

Download the trial version and if you like it, purchase the full version and consider it one of you best $37 investments.  Yes, I know there are other business applications being sold all over the place for typically $97 on up and Desktop Forum Manager is far more effective than most of them.  As far as I'm concerned, those high prices are just ridiculous!  They charge that much money simply to provide affiliates a big incentive to sell their software for them.  We'll be offering an affiliate program as well, but we realize that if we keep our software at a reasonable price for the average small business owner, we'll be able to make up for more income opportunities by volume and time instead of just gouging a few and making a quick buck.

So there you have it, "The Bottom Line".  Purchase our Desktop Forum Manager now and you'll be joining forums and posting traffic generating messages in minutes.  Considering how much money I've spent on other less effective programs, marketing campaigns, and advertising, I think $37 is a fantastic price for a program that has proven it's value by generating traffic to my site that would have cost me a lot more if I paid for it by any other means.  I especially consider, as a business owner, what my time is worth.  If I were to pay myself a modest $20 an hour as a business manager, I could definitely see how $37 can easily be made up in the time that Desktop Forum Manager saves me.
