    I started a new foruma few weeks ago and need some help building the community.

    What I have done:

    1. Linked it to a linkedin group and sent one e-mail to that group. Intend to give them updates every 2 weeks.

    2. Created compelling titles and made is a do follow forum.

    3. Gone to my community of sales bloggers and asked them to comment?

    What else can I do to get this thing popping? As it stands no one have left a single comment. Help?

    You could populate other forums and use you signature file to get more people to join. Maybe you could offer something for free for people to join too.

    Great ideas, I think the other forums will not help me much and some see it as a violation of terms. I am going to do a cash giveaway.

    Like Bauger said, put links in your sig. Your forums looks dead empty, you should try getting posters on your forum to make it look active. Check the site on my sig, it may help you.
