    How do I make a profitable advertising only forum? Would I be able to use a microsoft office website? What would be the best way to go to earn the most money with the least amount of money involved? I just want something where people pay to post advertisements. I can get the traffic fairly easy myself. I have never done this and would not know where to even begin. Looking for a mentor really but any advice is greatly appreciated!

    i think if u can make a website that full with information and tutorial, everyone love to put some ads on ur site.

    and i guarantee.. such website will need to have 10,000+ unique visitors per day.

    What do you mean by MS office website?

    'Forums' becoming so saturated nowadays. Hard to attract consistent visitors to such a site. You need a really specialized niche to tackle. Seems like every niche has been thought of?! I'd recommend researching pay per post forum offers? You just don't want it to become a banner farm, need good content. Do subtle ads like DP does and you should be golden.

    Wish I had all the answers!
    The ones that have it made not sure if they'd be willing to share all their secrets on the other hand. Maybe they'd be kind enough at least to point you in right direction?

    I agree, go into a niche area where no forums exist, but should. It doesn't have to deal with internet marketing, it could be any topic. Find topics people are passionate about and start a forum about it. Then sell ad spots once your traffic is high enough. There are plenty of free and paid forum scripts out there you can use to help you.

    :)

    Pick a topic and search "[topic] forums" and see if any forums rank on Google. If not, or if the forums look dead or spammed, then you're golden.

    Forums are a lot of work and take a little while to get your investment back on, though.
