    I'd say be involved in this forum first, get the hang of things and what people want before setting up one yourself.

    It's pretty hard to uproot established members.

    A lot of newbies want to start a forum right from the start, but they soon find out that their great forum ends up being a ghost town.

    Without having a decent following you'll be dead in the water.

    yes i have the same opinion. stablish a forum is not very easy task. it requires much knowledge and experience with regular activity.

    Starting a Forum and establish it is not a child's play. There are thousands of establish forums out there, So, it is much harder to compete with them.

    Some people pay others to interact for a while to make it look like you have real activity. However, I suppose some people might view that as unethical. Still, if real people are doing it and they're expressing their real points of view, it can provide you the flare your forum needs to succeed.

    Why I would do is create a product or ebook on a subject that is a "Hot Topic"
    that people also want to learn about and then create the forum for advanced learning
    on that same subject ...
    I hope that I made sense to you what I was trying to relate ..

    People like " Free Stuff " , may be you should give away marketing guides, people should be able to download only if they are members. And also you can have " Seo Tools " where members can use it for free .
