Do Not Start Another "NEW" Forum Until You Read This...

Hello Warriors,

I have been lucky to work with many successful Forum Owners.
And have closely watched them, helped them behind the doors,
to build, launch and promote the New Forums....

Here is something I learned from them...and I see many
new forum owners do this WRONG....

You know every new forum badly need to get one
objective accomplished when launched:

i.e. MAKE them Read, Register and Post!

To really make your members/visitors post to your new forum,
you need to have an Environment of POSTING....

I mean new comer should see an activity in your forum before
they post....

and here is where everything goes wrong ....

You have few posters,
few new threads and
few replies....

BUT even then you have CREATED MANY MANY SUB-FORUMS...
i.e.

Every sub-forum has few threads, and all forums look stale,
and dead....

So what you need to do is...
JUST create ONE Forum to hold all threads related to your MAIN FORUM TOPIC...

and have subforum called: OFF TOPIC..

i,e, everything related to the forum topic goes to MAIN FORUM,
and everything else goes to OFF TOPIC forum.

Now let us do the little math...

Even if your forum is getting 15 threads new/updated daily...
your MAIN forum will look fresh and active...

but if you spread all those threads in 10 different
sub-forums, every forum is empty, stale, and it is not
going to encourage new posts from visitors...

---------
So at stage ONE:
start with ONE MAIN FORUM
and one off topic forum....

At stage two, when you have enough members
and posts in MAIN Forum at daily basis,

and a certain SUB-TOPIC
is getting many posts and you and members think a new
forum should be there to accommodate those all threads...
now you are more than welcome to Create THAT sub-forum....

So lesson is start with ONE forum,
get this forum GOING...
and then CREATE sub-forum as needed...
not all at once, not before every forum member request for
new sub-forum....

Allen Says (Owner of this GREAT forum :-) has always practiced this,
you will see him create sub-forum only when it is badly needed...

Adsense Sub- Forum, Self Help Sub-Forum, Copywriting Sub-Forum and CPA Sub-Forum
were created by Allen just in front of your eyes :-) in due course of time when
they were really needed...
not at ONCE at the beginning of the forum....

So do not forget to practice this if you really want to have
a forum which really grows as time passes...


Hope you profit from this little tip :-)
Please also share your ideas and thoughts regarding this!

With Best Wishes,
