Instructions
Step 1
Anyone who has their own website is aware of the importance of publications. By posting new information quickly and efficiently, you improve the reputation and ranking of the site. Often times, you will have to pay for hosting, especially if you decide not to use standard advertising methods for one reason or another. This is why a good reputation is very important if you decide to make money on forums. If people like your site, then they will constantly visit it and, thereby, raise its rating. Ultimately, it will bring you profit.
Step 2
Be creative. Sometimes you have to think outside the box to make money on forums. If your forum is about local soccer, sporting goods stores, then try writing similar articles for other, more successful forums or sites. Then you might be able to access their resources and start earning a reputation. Also contact your local business and offer to sell ad space on your site. Generating income from multiple sources will ultimately allow you to not only fund a forum or website, but possibly even make a profit.
Step 3
Don't rely solely on copywriting. Mentioning your page in the resource directory will be another good way to generate income from a site or forum. Directories like Dmoz are clearing houses for posting specific forums. This system is a very popular way to find forums of interest to people. Some of these directories do not whitelist forums that are filled with ads or are known to be spammed. Therefore, be careful when choosing a resource directory. Try to find directories that specialize in a specific area of interest to provide your site with a targeted audience.
Step 4
By partnering with other sites or joining an affiliate network, you can significantly increase your forum's revenues. Advertising must match the content of the forum. Also, always make sure that the sites you are partnering with are ranked well. Basically, you let them advertise on your pages and vice versa. The ultimate goal is to increase traffic and thus profit. This method allows you to make money on the forum without much effort on your part.
Step 5
Most of the leading forums make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year using paid sections for advertisements. These can be advertisements for vacancies, products, services, and more. This method works very well if your site has high traffic and a good reputation among users.
