We are doing ok but I want more ...... :)

[Stemmy]

I have a photography forum at www.photography-forum.org

It's been running for 10 years and we have 25,000 members and nearly 1.5 million logged posts.

We are ranked 1 on google for "photography forum" and we get around 10 new members per day.

I'm really interested on where to go now. How do I push the forum to get 100 new members per day ?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I see you already have a pretty active social media presence, and that's definitely a good start. Do you buy any paid ads? Do you have any affiliations with other niche' related websites? Both of those would defiantly help you drive a little more activity and a few new members to your forum. Good luck! 🙂

I would like to firstly recommend the Review service. You can get a full length review from one of the review team members as well as quality reviews from the members here. I generally only post quality reviews in that section so may be worth a try. You can locate it from the Forum index. 🙂

The one thing I do notice is the theme. It looks like the default XF theme? Is it? If it is I think you should try to create a more photography theme or get one custom made or buy one. Whichever option you feel best suits.

The - in the domain is sort of a turn off. I do not like domains that have any symbols could be personal taste or a general rule of thumb.

There are two messages that seem to welcome people on the index (portal?). Wonder if you really need the two?

Anyway, doing a great job =)
