Tips on starting a forum from a list

6 replies
Hi Warriors, I have about 2,000 people on one of my lists (not in the IM niche). They are pretty active in responding to my messages, both through sales and in actually writing to me to ask questions or just have a chat. I am toying with the idea of setting up a public forum where they can all interact - and in the process hopefully bring a lot of visitors. I will then try and squeeze some money out of the forum somehow (advertising and product promotion I guess - also getting more people to opt into my list). Has anyone created a forum starting with their list members? Any tips? Any pitfalls? I guess this is a pretty open question, but I have no idea about running a forum. I love to learn new things, so am grateful for any advice. I wonder if it is more profitable to keep list members separated, or if they should be 'allowed' to interact. Thanks for any insights, Spudnick
