How to Promote a General Forum

Hi to all DP Members,

I have just recently started my own forums, as a part of my branding [FreelanceCMS]. The forum has a few members, but i would like to encourage more members to join and post around, there are a wide variety of topics to talk about. So how do you spose that i promote this?

The link freelancecms.org/designers-forum/

The forum license and vBSEO was very expensive and i would like to see this forum do well, in general.

Kind Regards and Any Suggestions will be warmly welcomed,
Nick

 

Well, why don't you try to ask for advice on The admin zone? A few articles that could possibly help you are:
A few tips to a starting community,
How to build a community from scratch.

 

thanks for the heads up mate...those articles are great!

Kind Regards

 

I'd maybe say purchase some ads on other general discussion forums / websites, like offtopic.com, collegehumor.com, etc.
