hello warriors,

I have been slowly building up a community of plasterers and now its really busy, I am starting to sell advertising space to people but I am running out of space to put more ads. I dont want to flood the forum with adverts as I think this will annoy my loyal members.

I was thinking of turning the site into more than just a forum, I have thought about adding content and turning the home page into more of a site.

What do you guys think? I am in need of increasing the income of this site.

The link is The Plasterers Forum For Plasterers and plastering

Cheers and thanks in advance

Danny

    Hi Danny

    You could offer a paid membership with a variety of benefits:

    - marketing & advertising
    - rewards club with discounts
    - business directory, not just a links listing
    - access to articles
    - mini web site

    etc.

    There's not a lot of advertising on the site. You can add Adsense, some building relates affiliate banners (affiliatefuture.co.uk has quite a lot)

    Combine the forum and link directory into one site, currently the twao are not linked except in the front page

    Hey Danny,

    Adding more content in the way of articles would be a good idea. You can easily create a section on the forum that features related articles. You can also ad a directory of plasterers. The end result is more pages that you can use as ad space.

    Hope this helps!
