I been setting up a forum about dropshipping and i'm wondering if anyone here has any good ideas to promote and make a forum active. Any advice would be greatly appreicated.
Look into social bookmarking for promoting a forum, it can give you the instant traffic that you need to bring in instant registrations...
My son started a forum and he got quite a bit of traffic just by posting on other forums, as you are doing. You may need to give a few more details about what the forum is intended to accomplish. I own a Yahoo store that drop-ships log furniture (logcabinrustics.com), and most drop-shippers I know aren't that anxious to reveal their suppliers. And other than looking for better suppliers, what would drop-shippers talk about? I also wouldn't want to divulge which suppliers have excellent records and which we have dropped because they don't meet our customer service standards.
