    Hello,

    Fellow DP Members, Hope you all are doing well. I have started a brand new forum imblogweb.com and wondering how to promote it. The forum is quite new and i am looking for members. Can you please share some ideas or tips to get members on my forum who can contribute great threads to it. Any ideas will be highly welcome.

    Xenforo is much easier to read on mobile. I never visit forums on my phone unless it is a Xenforo one. To expand the potential userbase you could consider using Xenforo.

    You need to be writing a lot of new content. You forums are empty, and most people won't sign up to a forum with no info.

    Get a few good posters to encourage discussion. If visitors find an empty forum they will not join and participate.

    hope you have linked your blogs with your social IMs so that whenever you do posting on your form it could get shared on IMs as well. A good way of promotion and getting traffic.

    You need to get some activity going. Maybe pay someone to make some post and threads first to make it active?

    Post some good stuff and share the url to the good quality threads around the web where your target audience might hang out.
