    1. Social media - there are 50 different SM platforms (if not more).
    You suggest to use them all?
    No, seriously - let's do some thinking before posting a random bs!

    2. Forum participation. What kind of participation do you suggest - article contribution, mentoring, starting hollywars?

    3. Guest blogging - if you suggest this one then you might also suggest some goddamn places where the one can find a guest blogg!!!
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    Anyhow, let's fix his answer:

    1. Social Media - use ifttt.com to synchronize you Social Media and be able to post everywhere at the same time.


    2. Forum participation

    Submit articles on "How to..." and guidelines topics - they tend to attract most of the attention.
    Offer your help to the people in order to increase your status in the community.
    Simply advise people to use your service where it's applicable (no spamming)
    Post reviews on different service providers.

    3. Guest blogging

    Your welcome!!!

    Actually this is not free. You need to work on it. Create best video. You can't get ultimate traffic once you create a video. You need to provide best work to do like with graffics and many more.

    Nothing is free. Everything needs work. You are just paying work instaed of money!

    But one of the easiest way to drive massive traffic to blog is SOCIAL MEDIA;)

    Yep, nothing is free in this world.
    To get traffic, you have to advertise your website somewhere.
    Or to ace content. But even if you have an outstanding, interesting, unique stuff - unless it will be seen by people, you won't get anything.

    Also, driving traffic from social networks is one of the hardest way.
    SM today are overcrowded with different groups and communities, as well as interesting stuff to check out. Odds are that nobody will notice you.

    I would be using social media but as others have said you need good and interesting content at your forum. People don't want to waste time there if there is nothing that they can learn or contribute to.

    There are several methods you can use when promoting your site. Some are...

    - Forums
    - Blog commenting
    - Guest posting
    - Writing articles
    - SEO
    - Creating newsletters
    - Social Bookmarking
    - Blogging
    - Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest)

    The trick is to pick 2 methods you believe you would enjoy doing then stick to only those methods. Once you see results move to to 2 new methods.

    After you have tried every method discard the ones that are not producing results - and focus on the ones that are.

    Since your website is a forum, which is crawled and indexed regularly by google, try to post some really good, relevant posts on your blog, in order to create value for your readers. Once you will have many high qulity posts, with lots of usefull information, your visitors will register on your blog, will join the conversation and will create new posts, and you will get free traffic both from google and from your registered users. So the key is quality content.

    Facebook groups are very easy to reach + GREAT TRAFFIC. You need a mailing list in order to do more serious business with your forum

    The problem with forums is that, if you don't have an active community, your traffic will not convert as leads. Sad!

    Even before you think of promoting your forum, ask your friends, colleagues or audiences to participate in that.

    Use warm approach first, instead of approaching cold right away.

    It can be hard to get your friends and family to help. But it is true that they are your best shot of getting the name out there.

    In my opinion it is more easy to get high quality traffic when you use big communities (facebook groups are good), slideshare.com for example

    It's true and I think it's the best way.

    Just that it takes a lot of time & even money, which might not be appealing.

    Still the best way though

    First Connect yourself to your target market, since you build a forum maybe it is better if you are in the same category as your forum. And I'm agree with this
