Run Forum also another good business?

[titaniumhijau]

I see many forum already run todays. Most of them works well and really give you big profit if you know how to handle it. So, the question is its really good if we can use forum for online business? Its good? How long some forum can still make money from his forum?

If some of you have any idea, why not share about that here?

Forums can be effective in the long run but getting them started can be a pain. For any forum to become successful it needs 1.members and 2.posts. If you can bring in those right from the start then you are heading in the right direction.

Don't expect to earn a lot though as members get used to seeing ads and will rarely click them.

i agreed with geek.
there are two things, member and post.
but.how to get these two things be in the forum?
first.money.the money will attract people to be in the forum like we did in this forum.
2nd.topic..if the topic is needed by the user..the they have to stay or be a member in the forum to discuss the matters.
what else?

Yes running a forum is a good business, but only for him who can get members to register in his forum and they participate actively.

I think geek is right, running forum is profitable but a lot of efforts are needed to make it successful

Having a successful forum could be a great source of money. I said, successful! Yup, it is never easy to grow a big forum. You need to have a growing membership base and you have to build a good content to provide excitement and big traffic. Consequently, some forums are paid-to-post or revenue sharing so just to attract members.

But at the end for those who have the energy and talent as well as patience, it is worth it all. :)

I guess running a forum is a good business.. but it requires a lot of hard work.. you have to build it properly.. you have to have many active members and you have to monitor your forum...

[richard]

yes its very good business but u need 2 work hard ...

[userinsight]

Agreed. But there are priceless benefits that a forum brings to its owner and members like strengthening one's intellect. :)

Yes, very important the query of the others is benefits to us. @theAdviserMe I agree.

That would be hard for me to earn there. Because Im not good in getting referrals. I just did all my earnings from my online sites all by myself. Cant we earn and request payment from there if we dont have any referral under us? Is that the only way we can earn there?

Hi! I think that it is a very good way to earn exra income! How much you get depends on the forum's popularity and some other things! I am sure it is really worth doing if you are ready to work really hard cause it is not so easy like it may seem!
