I used to read Joel Comm book which explains who to make money by creating a blog. I believe that his explanations do make sense. When we are quite successful in developing the forum and inserting some Google Adsense code into it, we will get some money from the clicks which the forum members make during their discussions with other members of the forum.
How to make a forum
The basic reason to make a forum is to create a special room for people with similar interest on certain issue where they can use it as a discussion room or conference room. It means your that your forum is highly specialized on certain topic, for instance, you create a forum on Growing Orchid, or you set up a forum for readers of Paulo Coelho novels. There, people will only discuss things related to Orchid and Novels. How about if you want to make a forum which is focused on sharing ideas on making money online? Well, you can create it. Don't worry, as long as it is good and contains good content, many people will like to join it.
There are a number of forum suites which you can install into your website. The easiest way is to buy a domain name and rent a space from web hosting company that provides a complete package such as fantastico. In fantastico, you can create a highly interactive blog, forum, mailing list, bulletin board or even an online store. Fantastico has feature that you can use to create a highly interactive forum. I used to create one, but due to the limited space in my website, I have to delete or uninstall it again.
What should I do if my forum does not have a lot of members?
Simple, just promote it in your facebook, website, mailing list or blog. The more active you promote your forum to other people the higher will be the chance for you to get a lot of members or visitors to your blog.
Forum is a great place for people to share ideas. You need to be very careful in managing it. Don't let anybody write topics that are outside the target topic. by Charles Roring in Manokwari of West Papua - Indonesia.
