Selling sticky posts

[Shawn Gossman]

Have you ever tried selling sticky posts on your forum?

The idea would be that the thread would likely be an advertisement of some kind and that you would pin/stick it to the top in exchange for payment.

If you have done this - how effective was it in earning your revenue? Was it a popular choice among advertisers? And how did the rest of your community take it?

A lot of people who own "Shops" on their forums like from dragonbytes sell Sticky threads.

For me personally, I wouldn't buy one because I normally read through "New Posts" and very rarely go through the forums to see that a Stickied thread is at the top.

I have tried but I haven't been successful. I see sticky sponsored posts on some forums and I think it would be nice to advertise this way.

I have seen this in many forumsand I think it is one of the best ways to monetize without being intrusive
