The Time Breakdown

Time. Our best friend, yet at the same time our worst enemy. Time allows us to sleep, work, eat and play, while it limits our opportunities to do just that. There are very few people in the world who can make enough money on a forum to live off the income it makes, and then they spend the same amount of time on it as they would a full time job. This means that when it comes to managing and running a forum community, time is always of the essence. So how can you best use the time you have...

It now comes down to what you decide to do with the trust you have worked hard to gain. It is at this point in time a manipulator would flip the coin and start working toward their true intentions. I am however not trying to educate manipulators, although I certainly could. There is a fine line between manipulating a person’s trust and respecting it, but that is not for this article.

Your Members Are Priority!

This article was first posted on our blog on 01/06/2011. For this reason, the information may be outdated and no longer reliable/correct. The formula for a successful forum is complex. Getting the balance right is an art--too many categories, not enough advertising, too many guests, not enough members. All these things are very important, but I'm sure that everyone would agree with me when I say that your members are the key to your success.
