Hi All, its kind of weird typing this message. because I have set up a forum myself. Now, the question is how do I get people to sign up? I have posted about 10 topics there. Would appreciate if some of you, or all of you could come over and take a look. http://www.promindsinc.com/bb/ Thanks.
Welcome to the DP forums. You will learn a lot here about marketing and seo for your forum If you want people to sign up you need to write a few quality articles and have some friends of you to register and make constructive comments. After that you need strong offline marketing, because a new forum just advertising on the web won't get that much attention. Also, don't write as admin, it scares newbies and a board without posts is like a website without text. Would you register for DP if the categories would be showing 0 or 1 topics? Think about it
Indeed a good question... Spend endless nights in here and a few other good quality forums asking in-depth questions and putting them up in the right category might just do the trick. After about a year of hard dedicated work you will be there... Promise
