Okay so you may well have got your nice new forum fully installed and configured, you may have changed the theme to something that looks really good but now you have to get your forum some visitors and that is where life starts getting very hard. People may find your forum in a search engine but if it is looking pretty empty they will not stay around long or join. So how do you boost your forum?
Well the painfully expensive way to get traffic to your forum is via Google AdWords, and trust me it will be expensive, and if you have no threads or posts up when you start your campaign you will be lucky to get anyone signing up at all. You may as well stand there and light $20 bills.
Boosting your forum members is hard, and you may feel like giving up, however persistence is the key. It may take you six months to get one hundred members. My first forum did, but then within less than one month I had over six hundred members!
You really need the help of at least a dozen friends to help you give your forum a boost, and even then you will have to harass them to help as there is nothing in it for them. You could ask your friends on other forums to give you a hand and this is a free way to boost a forum, but they will also only be able to give you so much of their time to help you get going.
Your other alternative to Google AdWords would be to use Facebook ads which are cheaper are more target focussed, however in either case you will be faced with the same problem, in that even with the best looking forum in the world you will not get anyone signing up if it has no posts or no threads.
You may try and start them yourself, but this can become very time consuming if you are doing it in the evenings and at weekends. You will have to join as multiple people, and start and answer your own threads. This can be done but it is slow going and can take all the fun out of running a forum.
Your other solution would be to look at employing professional forum boosters, now you can find these individuals on internet forums and recruit them or you could consider using what I believe is the best solution which a proper forum boosting company, which can really super boost your forum to get it up and running.
