    You may find some good info here: http://www.adminfuel.com/f23/article-z-forum-construction-management-613/

    Your niche is quite difficult to target, as there is fierce competition in it. The first thing to work on would be content. As they say - 'content is king'. Get as much fresh and unique content there as possible to get members active and slowly things will start to work. Your website is not working for me at the moment, so when I can see more, I can help more.

    One way is to compete in a smaller, more specialised niche to begin with. Then when you start to build membership, introduce broader categories.

    Doing that will help with doing this...

    And while you are specializing in a given field, you can still over a wider range of articles and content as the mood strikes.


    That would be a HUGE problem in the potential for new members. If its a matter of your host, get a new one...
