Know Your World Better!
5 Mar
This post is for those who actually think that they are great, better than others just because they own a forum. I have met several people in my who are very proud of saying “I own my own forum,” regardless of the fact that their forum hardly has any visitors or members. That day I met a girl who tried to prove that she is better than me by saying that she has her own general forum (Forum Stats - 122 posts, 9 members, 14 threads). I literally started laughing. She had to block me from msn when I told her about my teen forums (Forum Stats - Threads: 18,327, Posts: 481,524, Members: 20,054).
So don’t try to show off just because you own a forum. People with such attitude can only dream of owning an active forum. Just making a forum is no big deal but working hard for it and making it active is. When I had made teenhut.net, I did not think that way. So stop showing off your dead forum unless your forum really becomes active. You will only end up making a fool of yourself, specially in front of someone who already owns an active forum.
Today, there are trillions(maybe a bit exaggerated) of forums online but only a handful of them are active. It is because a lot of people think that they will make a forum and by tomorrow or atleast by a month it will be active, some even make plans of earning money from it beforehand. Most of them make the forum without any future planning of the site. They don’t even work for the forum to make it active and end up saying, it sucks. Nothing is easy in this world and you cannot achieve anything without hard work, whether it is a real job or making money online.
Today with the help of the free forum hosting websites, one can make a forum in a minute, so it is no big deal.
I agree, i have seen people owning forums and i can assure anyone who think it is easy … It is not. Especially in the competititve niche like webmaster because there are already too many !!!
“Nothing is easy in this world and you cannot achieve anything without hard work.”
Yeah, very well said man. People often think that they can attain their dreams within a day or so…
Yeah. There are already plenty of forums in almost every niche today. But you still have a chance there. I had made a teen forums, fully knowing that there were too many active forums already in that niche, yet I managed to take it off, and beat a lot of active forums in that niche today. Many members seeing that other forums became inactive, left theirs and joined mine. Some still being loyal stayed there. Many came to my forums saying, I was a member at that forum but left due to no one posting. So, it is just that you have to plan out your work accordingly. Owning an active forum is a really tough job but if you know the correct way, it isn’t so tough.
It can even take up more than a year or two to make your forum a bit active, forget “a lot active”.
I totally agree with you. Owning a forum is damn easy but maintaining it is a task which every Tom, Dick & Harry can’t.
You need to be lot patient and monitor it on daily basis, even if your forum starts picking up the traffic.
You are like a baby sitter, continuous surveillance and optimization.
I was very committed to my Dental forums http://www.dentocafe.com even though initially my friends insisted me not to start a niche and instead go for a general forum.
General forums are created on a daily basis and closed but i do not wanted to enter their gang of losers, so here i am, pretty happy with the position at present.
