    nice, forums are good way to get rich :p

    here's how i get my forums off the ground quickly.

    what i normally do is promote a paid product in that niche vertical using paid advertising.

    so if i spend $50, i need to make $100 to $150.

    let that campaign run a few days, keep testing till its profitable.

    at this time, u'll be wanting to build an email list. so u can send paid traffic an opt in page 1st. (don't use adwords for this, bans are likely)

    remember u need to keep an email list of ur customers or subscribers. and send them some good stuff, tips.

    go buy a book or borrow it from the library and find good content to mail them.

    get your forum up. this forum relates to your niche.

    send an email blast to your email list, that will give the mass effect to have a community going early on.

    the other way is by building back links and traffic to it slowly over a few months. i don't normally go by this rout
    cause there is no income for the 1st few months.

    Post it around on other forums that include a "self promotion" section.
