Just wondering if any of you run a forum and what you did in the beginning to get it going. I'm finding it hard to get mine jump started....

bump for a interesting thread. -
Post actual information. Don't be spammy. Add real content relevant to the topic. It may take a few years to get some serious(over 100k unique with no skim) traffic to the point where it is on auto pilot.ISeekGirls.com since 2005Comment

it is more work than it is worth, unless you really find a niche that is not being served already, but even then you need to put alot of time into it and forums are not the best when it comes to revenues unless you are a tight niche with a big audience
if you really love your subject and can spend time writing posts every day to get it going then maybe

Honestly man, I have dealt with a ton of these different forum posting services, and they are all awful. The majority of the time they just cause you more work going through and deleting all of their unintelligible posts. Really they are all just middlemen, and you can go directly to DP (I still don't know if I can post a link to that particular forum or not) and hire posters yourself cheaper.
Just go to DP and start a thread in the content creation section offering paid forum posting for 10 cents a post, and make it known you will only accept posters that speak and write proper English, as well as have some knowledge of the niche of your forum. You will get way more offers than you can handle, and when you pick out some decent posters, ask them to register on your forum and do a few test posts so you can gauge if they are usable. Also make sure to specify a word minimum per post and specify how many threads and replies you want...Comment

Just one thing...CONTENT.
I cannot understate how important it is for you to build content. If people see a ghost town, then they will not feel comfortable posting. So start building!"I use the Google to pull up maps."Comment

biggest mistake almost all make is create 50000 different categories, when you start out have one forum thats it one place where everyone posts, and dont email people when someone replies to their thread force them to come back and see the replies, this will increase the chance of them seeing another topic they can reply too.
The chances of getting a forum going to any big numbers in these days are slim to none

register fake users , make fake posts.
Have a contest with a big grand prize then award it to yourself. " best thread wins 10,000 cash " then go spam that thread on other forums as if it were a scam and your just a dupe surfer looking for advice.

Ive used a forum boosting service before and was pretty happy with their service. The trick is to get a core group of "moderators or whatever" that post and get things started.Comment

there's plenty of scrapers and bots out there for boosting a forum up. scraping yahoo answers is a reliable route. feeding your forum via rss is another. fill the sucker up with related content then bring in the outsourced posters. and KEEP THEM GOING. it's a long term thing. you need your forum to look active over a good period of time. people attract more people. good content is key.Comment

Well, if you want to mirror how GFY got started and how it got huge, you should focus on RECRUITING THE RIGHT PEOPLE. Just like in real life, forums work on INFLUENCE. If you recruit the right person, like a BONEPRONE or some other person who has a lot of friends in a particular social circle, their circle comes with them gradually and buzz builds. This is true of whether you're building a wm forum, a forex forum, a WOW forum, or whatever. Forums are SOCIAL so they mirror SOCIAL dynamics. It's all about influence.
So my suggestions are:
1) Find a niche where you know people with influence. How? Go to social networks and find people who have a lot of clout--example: Xeni Jardin of BB has a ton of clout. Give them a REASON for 'hanging out' at your forum Build an IM rolodex of people that fit this bill.
2) Give those people MOD powers to shape and sculpt the forum to their personality.
3) Seed the forum with strategically placed threads that lets the "forum celebrities" shine
4) Install VBSEO or other similar search engine optimization package for forums
5) Hit the rolodex carefully--updating them of what's going on.
Gradually it will build until you hit a Turning point and the forum takes on a life of its own.
Seems like too much work? Not really if you do it right. The latest forum to do this right is a mainstream forum that blew up fairly quickly due to the reputations of its initial members.
In forums, INFLUENCE is the only thing that matters..... unless your forum is really a microniche Adsense farm. In that case, I have another set of guidelines based on what I've observed
Good luck to you and NEVER EVER SURRENDER!Comment

Good stuff. just was talking about building a forum 20 min. ago. I have the concept. It will be pretty good . I know a lot of directors, producers and porn stars (because i shoot a lot). I have a pretty defined plan of attack with concepts detailed. It will have a function and a purpose which is very key.
I will have a section for uploading porn BTS and BTS set photos( which i already have a lot of). Because i shoot a lot, i can get girls up there plugging there sites and projects. If there are real girls there, it would seem to bring fans and other people.
Im in the discussion and planning stages right now. I already have a couple of places that will be able to feed it traffic from.
I have to close friends that are programers and are pretty good with making anything i can think of. They made Strongthread.com and with no promotions, it is getting 3,000 hits a day.
Always welcome ideas that people would like to see implemented.

It's kinda like starting a blog... except it involves some talking to yourself like a psycho for a while and the plan is to let your members post all or most of the content eventually. It takes dedication and patience but it pays off after about a year of hard work (at least for me). I didn't do any scraping or use any bots or anything, just hard work. Forums can make you some nice money, just get into micro-niche's. Once it's on auto-pilot you wont regret getting paid lovely for having online losers unknowingly doing your work for you by talking shit to each other.“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”Comment
