Hi , I have started a new forum and planning to invest nearly $2k for forum posters and paid sign ups. My target is to achieve more than 50K posts and 15K members in next 3-4 months . If I achieve that will my forum start to earn quickly? I need your suggestions....
First of all, you have your priorities way wrong. Starting a forum for money is one of the worst things you can do. So is focusing on achieving appreciable statistics. Forum's aren't big money-makers in the first place, so I don't know why you are interested in starting one just to make money. You're going to be spending more money than you will earn, to be honest. So basically, no, it will not work.
You could make good money from a active forum.. It just has to be with a high paying keyword niche like webhosting.
Not a good idea. Your main goal should be creating a base of loyal users who would come there everyday. Take it somewhat slow, hire some people work for you parttime. That would work better.
Yup, exactly. It's okay to want to make money, but a forum isn't the right direction for that. I'm not saying you can't make money with forums, but it's harder when it is your main priority/reason for starting a forum in the first place.
