I have just installed a forum software and my idea is to open a forum focusing on banking in my country. The forum will consits of the following sections: - Making money (I use Ad Revenue Sharing mod). I think it is somehow related to banking and everyone can find it interesting to join the forum. - Bank introduction (For banks to introduce about themselves) - Banking services (Introduce, ask, answer about banking services) - Financial advices - Also banking news - Banker discussion - Investor discussion. I am building it so I really need your advice on what sections I should put in the forum and what I should do to market this specific forum? Thanks in advance for your help! Albert
I would start off with the ones that you have listed above. Also think about adding a forum or two for General Discussion and other "useful" categories like that. As your forum grows add a few more forums here and there as needed. Starting off a new forum with too many empty forums isn't the best route to go. Good luck and hope this helps!
A non-banking chat section will help create a community spirit You may want to check your local laws on financial services and advice as a number of forums on similar topics have been forced to register with the government monitoring system in the UK which is both expensive and very time consuming
Thank you very much for your ideas. I will put General Discussion or Off-topic chatters to my forum. AstarothSolutions: This is the first time I've heard about this. I am not sure exactly but I think that everyone can open any forum in Vietnam as long as it is not bad forum (Porn, sex...). Could you tell me more? If I am a Vietnamese living in Vietnam and I want to open a banking forum for UK people, is this possible?
