    My Forum Empire

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    What you can get with a general forum is volume of people. Where there are a lot of people, they may dip into many of the different forums. This brings value because you can get answers to your questions quite quickly. It might not work and doing a niche may be easier, but how do you know unless...

    Its a perfectly understandable take, doing a forum in a niche. Its what I did. But I fancy trying general. I saw a site in the USA with a huge number of posts on it. It was a general forum. It made me think SCALE.

    News bot on Fastlane forum

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I like the idea of having a news bot on my new forum, just like on the fastlane forum. I figure it could get my post count up a little bit. No one likes to join a forum with little going on. Any ideas how it is done or what plugin or hack is used? Also, are there legal issues around using other...

    The critical factors are time and being an early adopter. I created a forum when few existed. I understand your reasoning about doing a niche forum. I have one and will be doing other niche forums too. But since there are so many niche forums, a general forum almost becomes a niche! In fact...

    1. I am in the process of formulating my marketing, so not sure what I will employ yet. Might test using Twitter, some backlinking, paid forum posters etc. 2. Don't really understand what you mean. 3. Those 1800 members will all be bots that signed up. Some forums can earn considerable money...

    My Forum Empire

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Its a technology forum that I started about 10 years ago. I do not wish to divulge my income on it but let us say that optimising the position of banners, where the banners are from and the number of banners makes a huge difference. One year ago I was earning £Xpm. After tweaking and...

    I already have a forum with over 20K unique visitors per day. This is my new project. The other one was in a niche but I want to have a general discussion forum since the scalability is considerable. To monetize, I will take my banner advertising experience gained from owning my previous forum...

    I have visions (illusions? lol) of creating a discussion forum empire, all giving me relatively hands-off passive income for years to come. I've already got a busy discussion forum going, but seek to do a new one in a broader category. Here is my latest project: Go Discuss Any comments or...

    Lead Gen business model

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    They are a national lead gen site. I was thinking about having a local lead gen site for a specific trade. e.g. NewYorkPlumbers.com You can rank more easily and also with Google Places if you have a local address.

    Lead Gen business model

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Why not offer the leads free for 2 weeks? You can get round the objection of being burned on the leads then, since they are not buying any. If I offered a service and someone could supply me with regular leads that I made a profit on, it would be invaluable. e.g. if someone could offer you...

    Lead Gen business model

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    @Milenko, you are absolutely right about Google Places, although they are not always at the top of the listings and can be mixed into the search results. Lead gen can be done via Google Places and a website. Ranking with cities below 300K population is not a problem or me. Wonder if anyone here...

    Lead Gen business model

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I am considering going into the Lead Generation business, supplying leads for local businesses. The only thing is, I need some leads in order to start my business - joke!! Anyway, the idea is to create sites that attract - say - people needing a plumber and then sell that lead to a plumber. Do...
