Russian-speaking countries, like China, have many active industry forums in addition to mainstream social communities.
Here are some of the better forums in Russian-speaking countries:
Tochek ( http://www.tochek.net/): A comprehensive forum that mainly discusses philosophy, news, film music, computers, the Internet, cars, software, graphics, programming, etc. Through observation, it is found that there are relatively few people doing advertising and marketing on this forum. The Russians who gather here mainly discuss some life information and organize simple forum activities.
By understanding the Tochek forum, it can be found that the social method of this forum is pure content sharing and communication. Therefore, this forum is not suitable for blatant marketing. But it is precisely because of its purity that we can get to know each other more deeply. This forum is more suitable for accumulating connections, and then directing these friends to mainstream social accounts (such as VKontakte) to do marketing in your own social accounts. The disadvantage of this method is that it requires a lot of effort and the output effect is not good.
Megaobzor (http://forummegaobzor.com/): A forum with a relatively large amount of traffic. The main communication sections of the forum are technology, entertainment life, and communication. Although the forum is a second-level domain name of wwwmegaobzor.com, the traffic of the main site is still good. At the same time, Megaobzor does marketing outside the site, which greatly increases the traffic of the website.
Megaobzor has its own marketing accounts on VK, Twitter, and Google+. Although Megaobzor has good traffic, it also takes a lot of effort to do marketing on the Megaobzor forum.
The main site of Megaobzor is for digital electronic products. Therefore, merchants who make digital electronic products can try to contact the website owner for cooperation. Volchat ( http://www.volchat.ru/forum/ ): A comprehensive forum that covers topics in all aspects, such as adult forums, relationships between men and women, society, economy, entertainment, culture, hobbies, the Internet, computers, cars, family, digital, etc. It is also divided into three regional forums: Volgograd, Moscow and St. Petersburg.
A careful look at the Volchat forum will reveal that someone is doing marketing, but it is done very carefully.
