    I own a Ferrari Fans forum and a Politics Forum things are okayish. We would like more active members although my politics forum has more activity.

    We (me and my business partner) tried everything with my politics forum to create revenue. It hasn't worked people won't click on our google ads? Whats the secret? Do people not see ads anymore?

    Thanks

    How much traffic are you getting to your forum? Monetizing a forum is particularly hard, so you'll need a good amount of traffic. Check out some of the articles I have written on forum promotion and monetization.
