Why are you sick of new promotion forums ?

[Watch Me Sink]

There are two types of people in this world. Those who program, and those who don't.

I know of a small business owner who earns a lot of money (despite the recession) and didn't complete middle school. He also doesn't know how to turn on a computer. He isn't flipping burgers either, he is enjoying his retirement after working hard his entire life.

I'm currently in the process of making three brand new promotion forums.

 

[Lee Lawson]

Why can't you just basically merge all three forums together?

That would be no fun. I'm making three brand new, separate promotion forums. That's all I'll say for now.

I want to see how the community reacts.

They will probably outcast you.... then tell you to merge them together.

But Mr. Green doesn't take shit, good luck anyway and to any new promotion forums.

The more the better.

The more promotion forum there are, the better it is...​

I strongly disagree

Why?

If you're a forum owner looking to advertise the more forums there are to promote the better it is.

There's a difference between getting the SAME exposure and getting DIFFERENT exposure. 😉

Because there is no many, I wont be joining any more promotion forums because ive joined a few forums and they forums have died. Plus its the same services every where with same forum.

I have had similar experiences. I'm trying to quit joining promotion forums because there are just too many out there. Everyone thinks that just because sites like Forum Promotion has success, they think they will be the same way only to realize that a forum in general does not become popular over night. For that reason I've kind of lost interest in promotion forums.

Is a suitable answer. However my answer would have been along the lines of it doesn't matter how much you promote, it matter to what audience you promote to. I spent 5 months promoting my Disturbed forum and doing exchanges, barely getting 20 posts a day. The first month I promoted it on the official Disturbed website I got over 5,000 posts.

Also, if you promote consistently on a spammed site, you could get blacklisted

Forum Promotion forums are only really useful for promoting other forum promotion forums... and possibly other webmaster related forums and sites.

The new promotion forums that get under my skin are those that the admin has made because he has seen FP & other promotion forums and thinks that he'll get instant success. And then when he realises how hard it is, he closes them down. I've joined so many promotion forums in the past that I'm sick of contributing to new promotion communities as it goes to waste 80% of the time.

Link me to five promotion forums advertised here that do not meet this.

Every promotion forum is just promoted here and at other forums that are promoted here. the audience is EXACTLY the same.

Not the same. Same is copying piece by piece. Is Facebook copying Myspace by putting in a chat at the bottom?

 

[Cosmic]

Did you even read my post? I am saying that people on lamePromo.co.cc are the exact same people on xyzPromo.com and adPromoBB.co.nr. You are promoting to the same people who don't give a ---- about non-promotion and non-general forums.

Fair enough, you have a point. Although I still think the more promotion forums out there the better it is. You can't get 'sick' of better opportunities and ways to advertise.

It's good for forum owners as they have more places to promote, and most of them have post packages so they can also get posts on their forum.

That's if the packages ever get done.

There is no limit to unique ideas. There is always things people haven't thought of.. yet! Sometimes, the best way to make things different is rather then copying a service exactly from another promotion forum, use that service as a basis and then build on it. Look at the service and think how could we make this better? Change the appearance/positioning or even changing the way users request the service (like we have done recently here). Sometimes looking at something and thinking, you can come up with things to make it better and more interesting and offer more to your members and to make it DIFFERENT!!!.

Alot of people start a promotion forum and then wonder why it isn't successful and i say it is because nothing is different from this place and you have a few of our services and copied our service guidelines for them. They always reply with there is nothing that hasn't been done before (not true) and that it is hard to come up with something different. Life is hard, running a forum and getting it active is hard. If you want your forum to be successful you need to work hard and think hard. Sometimes ideas hit you are the strangest places. When you are walking down the street and your mind is wondering and you see or hear something and that can spark a little idea. I have many many many bad ideas to every good idea i have here. Many are not practical, don't have the ability to make it happen successfully, members would probably not like it, slows down the forum too much, doesn't look that appealing on the forum or that it is far to complicated and members may find it hard to understand. You just need to keep thinking and working on any ideas you have.

Anyone here could create a successful promotion forum. Anyone here could come up with something different and unique but you just need to set your mind to it and not just sit back and say "that is too hard, i will stick with the easy method and just copy the services exactly from another forum".

If a forum offers something different and unique i will join. If a forum is a clone or copied alot of things from other forums, i won't join. I wouldn't get anything out of it and it shows the admins lack of ambition and is a massive sign that in a weeks time the forum will be gone.

Because they're all filled with people who think putting their free-host based lump of crap up on a promotion site like this will gain them instant activity.
