It can be if you want to "quickly" make $20-$100+ a day.

But, it is not very difficult to make a $1-5 or less a day in "my experience" as long as I regularly publish new unique content every few days, and spend some time promoting a forum through link exchanges, Facebook, Twitter, and other methods.

I don't know of many other jobs except being a artists, author, actor, singer which has a lot of royalties like Lady GaGa where you just leave a website or your product online and it makes money from visitor visiting it or buying your product while you are watching TV.
 
Yes, members must first love and trust the community before stepping in to money.
 
I find it hard to find active members to post regular on my forum let alone get money from google adsense
 
Here's 2 of Lisa's vids on Adsense (from 2createawebsite.com):

I'm not trying to argue but she owns several websites and she does know what she's talking about.
 
Personally I dont know any girl/woman who's creating websites 😵

1st video was good, going to lead the 2nd video now - (it will take alot of time....)
 
Great videos by Lisa! I agree with her points that putting up content about a specific niche and promoting your website to get more traffic helps, and Adsense can be a distraction for making new content, and promotion in some cases.

The make money niche and webmaster niche seems to be mostly dominated by males I notice. I only know of Lisa who has a successful "make money and Webmaster" website and forums run by a female.

I notice girls and woman tend to like to start blogs about cooking/food, cosmetic, entertainment, anime, and other female topics which can be very profitable if they write a lot of quality content on those topics and promote their site well.
 
Let's not be sexist here. Just because you're a woman or man, doesn't give you the advantage in any niche.

"Do you find making money from forums hard?"
Yes, for anyone is you don't have many members. Advertisers rely on a large userbase in order for them to successfully get back what they put in.
 
I think its difficult for a forum to get money if they don't have the users or the traffic that it needs to generate an income. Like for example if the forum just launched and within 24 - 48 hours put up adsense ads, and in that time still have under 5 - 10 members, their not going to make much from adsense that quickly. I think (and this is my opinion), it's best for a forum to wait until it has between 50 - 250 members, before attempting to experiment with ads. This allows for there to be some member traffic and promotion to bring more members. Then you can worry about the adsense and other ways of earning revenue.
 
Within 24-48 hours of a so called opening, you can make good money if the URL is getting a lot of pre-hand traffic. If it's a parked domain and is getting decent traffic, the forum maybe be an extra promoting factor in how you gain traffic, so anything is possible on the Internet.
 
dotDavid actually some websites you do get advantage in if your a woman or man, And No I don't mean those dirty websites.

That's just difference in upbringing. If you are a boy, but grew up as a female in every way possible, you will have a mindset of the "generic" woman, not stereotypically speaking. It's just that people are brought up as per gender so it gives the illusion that a certain gender can do better in certain areas.

But, so you say, could you please justify your statement as it's an empty statement right now 🙂

I agree with this. 100%.
 
What I'm saying is if you go to let's say a random website, Would you rather have a woman talk you through it, Or a man?
 
I prefer a Attractive woman with a sexy voice on Youtube videos talk about topics since I like attractive women with sexy voices. But, if what she has to say is not very good. I probably just watch another video,

But, I still listen if the women looks average with a normal voice. I probably pay more attention to what she has to say like when I go watch a man talk about the same topic since I'm not gay and only care about the man's content and not really his looks or voice.

I seen certain female beauty Cosmetics Make-up Gurus on Youtube get more views by men, bisexual woman, lesbians, or girls who want to look like them because they are very attractive and have sexy or cute voices vs. other Beauty guru which look average and regular voices.

I also believe attractive men with sexy deep voices get more views on Youtube from girls, bisexuals, and gay men for being attractive, but I'm not sure since I'm not gay.
