Hello everyone I have just joined this forum, I am in need for marketing my website and forum to attract more users on my forum. I launched my new website called http://authenticmentalhealth.com/forums/ last night which includes a forum where people can communicate with like minded peopler regarding their mental conditions. I have had 2,000+ visitors on the website however nobody has joined my forum yet which is concerning me. I know this will take a lot of time and effort. Can someone please help and advise me on what I can do to make the forum fully functional with members? Thank you for reading this and thank you if you can help me.
You could offer some type of freebies to get people to join, either software or monetary etc. ill pm you
Your register area is on your sidebar, and I had to scroll down just to see it. Change that. Maybe make a pop up to register or something. You also need to add some content and re-name "forum" etc.
Hello Thank you for the advice, I didn't create the forum, I payed a company to make it and add it, so i need to tell them to add a pop up register for users? What do you think i should re name the forum?
personally I would stay clear of popups as people use popup blockers so they would probably not see your register popup. what I would do instead is have the register link on the top of the page where everyone would see it. Don't add popups as they are so annoying and just put people off. by the way, your forum is nice and clean and I like it
If you'd like, I'll do it for cheap. PM me. Maybe not even a pop-up. Just some type of visibility for registering. And re-doing the forums.
