- Contribute to the community. If you are an expert on a particular subject, help out fellow members. They WILL visit your site to check out who you are if you keep posting good answers!

There are hundreds of discussion boards and mailing lists on the internet. Go to Google Directory or DMOZ.org and find out discussion boards in your category.
