    I am a chemist and a teacher. I have been working on an online tutoring site for some time. Now I am at the crossroads of whether to add a forum to keep traffic at my site or stick to stricly pay questions and answers. Any advice?

    I would do it, then users might be able to find free answers and it would encourage their use of the actul site itself.

    I'd wait until you have a stable number of regular visitors. Maybe 500 or 1000.

    forum is always a good idea of keeping the traffic. it takes time to build and I would recommend to start as early as posible. It can be part of the service your provide.
