Sorry if this isn't the right forum for this post. But does anyone have any advice on how to attract people to your forum when it is new. It seems that no one wants to join the forum because there aren't many posts up there...Thanks
One of the things I found useful was to offer members who sign up "extra stuff" that isn't available to general visitors to your website, this could be articles, downloads, freebies etc, basically you have to give your members something extra for them to sign up in the first place, that worked well for me
I tried giveaways - anyone who posted in the month was eligible to win a prize. And then members with fewer than 100 posts were eligible for a different drawing.
Not sure if it made a difference. It seems that a good forum niche (what your forum for and who is registered) and relevant topics are what really drive community growth.
