    One possibility...

    You can give away free memberships to people who're willing to help you launch and "populate" your forum. Ideally, you should choose people that already have a proven track record of participating on forums, such as members of other busy forums in your niche.

    The bonus here is that you have REAL niche folks, rather than friends or ghosts who'll disappear. In other words, these members are likely to stick around and keep posting.

    Cheers,
    Becky

    ETA: If you have an affiliate program, you can also invite your affiliates and JV partners to participate on the forum.

      Actually, that is a great idea. You could even state that giving them free memberships that they agree to give your forum a boost at first. If you DON'T give away free memberships, I would definitely wait until you have some kind of membership base, even if it is small, and hold some kind of launch for it.
