Ideas for building Forum Enrollment?

by Ghalt

I have a message forum that gets a few hundred visits per day, mostly from search traffic.

The forum is "pre-loaded" with a bunch of good information about the niche. I had taken some time to build a long list of good questions and wrote good, useful answers for them. (This is a technical niche.)

But I don't get a lot of new signups, or new questions. I guess in some ways it's because they are getting their answers and don't need to sign up. But I gotta believe there are some ways to encourage signups.

Anyone run a successful forum with some good strategies for increasing membership?

Thanks!

    I suppose you could create a teaser for each answer and require registration to see the full answer.

    Or, maybe you could allow guests to see the discussion starter, such as the question and allow responses only to be viewable by members who are signed into the site. However, this would not necessarily get you more responses or discussions, just more members.

      Another idea is to maybe do like the Warrior Forum and create a sub-forum for member only access where all your "best" information is at and maybe some downloadable ebook tutorials too. Possibly allow free access to this for the first month or so to have some active members in it before people pay to join.
