OK, I keep reading that competitions are good. My forum could have one. But how does it work? I have a forum, a prize, an idea for a question - but how do I actually do it? What do you all do? Sorry if this seems obvious, but I don't want to do it wrong! Jules
Make a sticky in the most read forum, or in the news section, describing exactly what it is you said you have. Then promote the contest on other boards, such as this one, to get new visitors.
thanks for your answers Does anyone have a competition running now on a forum that I can have a look at please? I'm keen to try this, but I want to get it right... thanks again why did yours work horrible?
You can include competition link in your sign, also you can post it in different forums in relevant section. I think this would help you; http://www.ozzu.com/forum46.html
