Do you it is important to build a good relationship with members and staff before trying to earn money on a forum?
Yes, I think it is important to build a good relationship with your members and staff before making money.
I think people tend to buy premium memberships, or buy from forums affiliate links from people they trust and like.
I read on a blog where some readers even e-mailed the blog owner to see if they got the affiliate commission when someone clicked on the blog's owner affiliate marketing link to buy a product like a "domain name" from Godaddy.
Plus, members and visitors are more likely to return to your forum, so you might have a higher "Click through Rate" for adsense because of returning ad clicks from returning visitors who are interested in the ads which are on the top of your forum.
I also believe most people "donate" to forums because they love the community, or it provides a great service which they find very useful.
