I own a make money online forum at OnlineMoneyGuild. I had around 78 members and 630 posts in just 23 days. This is because I offered a FREE report which attracted many people. I found it is easy to get members with this report (but can't get traffic to view this report). I know there are lots of people who want to make money online. But I don't know where to get such people to participate in my forum. Any suggestions? I tried stumbleupon but, stumble traffic is not converting into forum members!
Yeah, most Stumblers just see your site for a second or two. A good landing page would help matters. Also, I recommend you advertise on other forums in your niche.
Contribute to other forums like here and put it in your sig. You also need to add the words "FREE Report" in your sig, to get the clicks.
Yep, definitely right. The word "Free" generates attention no matter what. Also, other webmaster forums like www.v7n.com or www.webmaster-talk.com would be a good place to advertise it on your signature.
It may attract them, but do they come back??? Advertise your forum like it is any other site. You've been here long enough to know what to do.
