Do you have a great idea for a forum, but are not sure how to go about creating one. Well building a forum is easy in one way but very hard work to get up and running if you are not careful.
Now forums are great for building repeat traffic and with repeat traffic you should start earning some real money over a period of time. But many forums come and go, as the fact is that you may have the best idea in the World for one, you may hit upon the latest hot to have niche, and you may build a great looking site and have laser focussed forum topics, but then you get nobody signing up or posting and in the end you just give up.
Building the front end of your forum is the easy bit, no really it is, now "Creating a forum" is where the skill comes in.
Your forum needs a good look to it for sure, but it also needs to load fast, and be easy to navigate. You also need to make it as easy as possible for people to register, yet at the same time you need to make it hard for autospam bots to register. If you do not stop the autospam bots at the start, then you will spend most evenings and mornings just moderating spam and deleting fake users. In the end if unchecked this will make you feel like giving up, and many do, that is the reason why creating a good forum is such hard work.
Now if you have had the sense to get good anti-spam measures in place then the next thing you need to be concentrating on is getting posts and threads up on your forum. It is so simple, the more people post, the more people post! A circular argument but one that is so true.
Creating a good forum is very much down to the quality of the posts you have on it. If you have a load of junk on your forum then people simply will not sign up, so you need to keep your forum well moderated at all times.
Getting people to post when they join can also be an issue, with many forums seeing only one in ten people that sign up actually posting on the forum. Crazy but true. So in an ideal world you need a few friends to get your forum up and running, or use the services of a professional to help build your forum.
