Marketing New forum

My new forum ( http://www.earnforums.com/) needs more user signups who are actively participate.

What are the best methods to reach out?

 

A forum to help people get wealthy.. why don't you try to write a bunch of article about it along with your blog and other directories. I'd say blog commenting and visit other wealth related forum might be helpful. It's sure a competitive niche your working on but good luck!

 

Promoting a forum isn't something that is going to take a few minutes each day, you need to get the forum out there in the public eye.

I would strongly suggest getting links into the site and trying to move through the SERPs to a point that you can be seen on page one of google, above the fold.

 

First of all, congrat for your forum. I wish I have something like that too. May I know where do you host it?

 

Hold a lottery for the new members . Something nice and cheap will fit the bill .

 

What are the best methods? It depends on how much marketing budget you would like to spend?
If you want direct and fast result, you could try to start some ppc advertising campaigns. Google adwords for example.

 

that's actually a good domain you got there.
I'd create an online marketing forum if you are willing to put in the time ... it would be a competitive niche but you got the right domain for it

 

Believe me, turning a forum into great success will take a lot of time and effort from you part. I've seen even the best marketers in my niche not able to sustain it. Besides the need to market and promote it, there must be an 'x' factor that makes your members actively want to keep coming back to participate. You'll also have to think of challenges like weeding out spammers, automated bots, disguised ads as forum posts, etc.. it does take a LOT of effort. If you can't maintain solving the challenges, then genuine members may be turned off to participate.

It's not impossible and still doable if you have great determination.

Like others have recommended, post articles on your forum. Include case studies, proven marketing methods, marketing test results, etc. Encourage people to post by giving out incentives.

All the best!!

 

I think Facebook Fan Pages is the best way to promote a new forum...
you can create a new facebook pages within your forum niche...and then attract many fans as you can....once your Facebook fan pages is famous....you can posted your forum link there...

 

what exactly your forum (sites) offers?

Because there are forum sites that is for free for freelaner and they get paid when they post and there is also be a member you must pay.

You must be a good writer and administrative.

You must join SocualMedia to promote and use email marketing strategies.

 

I feel like it would be hard to find leverage in a realm of giants (DP, Warrior) but I wish you the best of luck

 

First of all, ask for a review of the site in the Reviews section of DP. That could get you sign ups. So far I've gotten 30 signups from that section. It's growing daily from nothing other than that thread.

 

Thanks everyone for your feedback.

 

+1

That's pretty much the only effective way to grow a forum.

Or PPC if you're on a budget.

 

add good content constantly. participate on other similar forums.

 

You should fix your CMS. and remove all your advertising...no new forum should
have a saturation of ads up, at least until you have the traffic.

 

Your site looks like a banner farm, I wouldn't use it cause of that alone.

 

I have to agree with JoesMillion, that threw me off too.

 

fort you need to create useful content . real visitors in starting you can buy some of the quality forum poster . need to monitor on spammers. and has to give free stuff which can get some benefit to your users...

 

start using social networking is one of the cheapest and effective way to get active members into your forum
