Hey guys. I am thinking about building a forum for a very very profitable niche, because there is non forum about this theme so far.
Are there any guys who are into forum marketing etc. ?
How do you guys usually get users, if you have none so far? Of course SEO for my keywords but who wants to register when there are almost zero postings?

Cheers Normahl

    It is not that hard to manage a forum actually, you just assign some mods or whatnot. But if you're asking on how to start one. You need some users first, you can get users to register on your site on lots of ways.

    Running a forum is a mammoth job. It is complicated to set up and involves a huge commitment of time if you really want it to flourish.
    I personally would never recommend it when you can get benefits from this forum and many others out there without that added stress.

    I know it's hard, but it's in the german forex niche without any competition and growing market. Would be awesome to do affiliate Stuffs with forex platforms.

    Why not consider starting a blog on the topic instead of a forum. You can branch your blog into a forum once you gain some clout and followers on the topic.

    My personal opinion is that: when your daily comments exceed 20 per posts, you have a better chance of kickstarting a successful forum.

    Hum. Problem is that there's a lot of competition for this niche and with a forum I can advertise on those top ranking sites i.E
