Did you set up a message board, shell out lots of time and money only to see it failing to get anyone to sign up--except a bunch of spam bots, of course?
Have you tried everything--SEO, paid postings, multiple accounts, contests--and you still can't get it off the ground?
Do you look at those big busy message boards and wish you knew what you were doing wrong?
Have you recently bought a forum and don't know how to keep it healthy--or worse, you are already watching it slowly die and its community and revenue slip through your fingers?
If you are looking for a no-nonsense, honest guide on creating a successful internet forum, fromr someone who actually runs one, I have in the offerings my Ebook, available in PDF format.
I don't pretty it up, and I don't exaggerate. I teach you what over a decade of forum managing experience has taught me.
The contents:
Forum Softwares and Hosting.
Top 5 Beginners' Mistakes.
Your Forum's Rules.
Your Staff.
When to Ban.
Forum control freaks. {Version 2.0 on my original Ezine article}
Legal concerns.
Forum Growth Management.
Promoting Your Forum.
Under New Management: the Forum You Just Bought.
Monetising your forum.
****
You may notice most of this Ebook doesn't focus on monetising your board. That's because without the community on it, no amount of monetising advice will go anywhere. You have to build the house before you can paint it. Then the paint job is often the easiest part.
My own forum's link can be found in my signature. It has become successful and is still teaching me things. I included stuff on how to manage a forum once it grows, that's one of the hardest parts I have found and which often gets overlooked.
$4 per copy and I accept Paypal. PM me if you have any questions or just reply here!
Sorry, no review copies. I am confident enough in my own product that paying people to say good things about it runs counter to my message...besides, it's only $4. 😛 Though if you tried it out, feel free to leave a note!
Happy forum building!
