You can listen / view the video above for a better (but rather impromtu) explanation of Zoints.

I’ve heard a few things about Zoints, but let me tell you how I see it. I have missed out on big things in life as far as Internet marketing is concerned. But I cannot let this golden opportunity pass me by.

Zoints ia a forum-based community network. Like Friendster and MySpace, Zoints connects users into a cummunity where they can blog, messages others, meet new friends etc.

The difference: Zoints does it via forums.

The opportunity: Get a PR5 / PR6 link to your forum, and a lot of new members.

Here’s how Zoints looks like:

Zoints Homepage

 

When you sign-up, you’ll be given a profile page like the one below with the good-looking chap on it :)

Zoints Profile

So far, nothing great, right. Just another Friendster / MySpace wannabe. But have a look at the main Zoints community page, which currently has a PR5. If you click through to any of the links below, you’ll that there are already a couple of forums listed on PR4 / PR5 pages there.
Zoints Communities

As long as you’re a Zoints member, you can list your forum on those high-PR pages too. You’ll need to submit details of your forum and install a pluugin into your forum software.

I did it for my EasyWordpress Forum where I’m using VBullettin. If you’re on some other forum software, you can check with them how to do it.

I created a new category for my forum:

Zoints PR 4-5 Links

 

Now, I need you to think about the opportunity you have here. Thousands of people gather in online forums eveyday to discuss business, gossip about celebrities, share cooking recipes, and even complain about the government.

If Zoints only reaches a handful of big forums, it instantly increases it’s member base by thousands. And from one forum it will spread to another etc. It’s only a matter of time before Zoints gets a PR7/8 and your forum could be listed on a PR5/6 page, right on top.

Assuming that links are displayed on a first-come-first-serve basis instead of alphabetical order, you’ll also get massive exposure or your forum.

Free advertising, free PR5 authority site backlink :)

Go book your spot now at www.Zoints.com before someone else takes your place at the top. Also, I’m not sure how long they will allow users to create new categories. If you can still do this, you may want to create a new sub-category to list your forum on top.

yeah, but it was Steven Wong who implemented it. Maybe Steven can do a write up on how to install the plugin on his site http://www.InternetOn9.com because I’m really cluless on the technical part.

I just blog :)

Gobala

So Steven Wong did the work and you get to play??

I have been scratching my head on how to put this kind of tool to record what you did on my webpage for ages. You have to share this “know-how” man!

Liked your podcast (Keep it Up!) but HATES the slow …slow … video streaming …on our Fast (??) broadband speed in KL.

Any solution? I have to sit on my PC desktop for 1 hour just to listen to you.

Will log-in again …May Ong

Yeah :)

We divided our tasks so Steven will do the forums part. Too many things to do by myself….

BTW, when I nitially uploaded the video it was 28M, then I compressed it to 8M so it should be faster now.

The quality had to suffer, though. Hope you guys will give me a break cos it’s my first attempt :)
