Hello,

I have launched a forum currently which have thousands of members. It has very less income which should be increased.

Would you please suggest me the best way to monetize such a new forum?

    On top of the ideas mentioned above, what about creating a special VIP section of the forum for a small fee? Offer added incentives and sell it as being the most knowledgeable area of the forum.

    Good luck!

      Thank you!
      It's a great idea. But as my forum is not so big yet, will users be interested to pay any fees now?

    Some ideas you could try.

    - Make a private subscription members section. (This can work great.)
    - Accept donations for icons next to the usernames.
    - Run Adsense.
    - Make affiliate deals with other companies in your niche.
    - Build an email list / use your email list to your re-promote your forum easier. I would send a blast every 2 weeks with new tips.
    - Do products launches.
    - Create a marketplace for user such as WF's WSO section.
    - Try running CPA offers as ads, if it fits your niche.
    - Sell ad space to users.
    - Build a good brand and sell clothing if it fits your niche.
    - Have user do product reviews, and incorporate amazon associate links.
    - Have on the keywords scanners, that puts amazon links on certain words posted on your first.

    I would try a combination of these. Good luck!

    You could run some Amazon ads. Those convert very well and will go nicely with your shiny new forum
