What way to go?

Hi,

Darren here, I'm the owner of my Cardiff Forum. We've just launched and looking at cost effective ways to market it, we need to reach as many people as possible.

Look forward to your replies.

A forum is a very difficult thing to make a success.

I run a forum http://lfc-hereford.co.uk/lfcforum/index.php which is dedicated to Liverpool Football club but getting people to post is so difficult. There may be a lot of lurkers but posters are hold to find, and that applies to most forums. However when a forum is a success it breads more members itself.

There are 1000's if not millions of forums out there probably with less than 1000 posts.

Obviously for you, you have a good base - ie all about cardiff, and I think your best way is to get out on the streets, in the bars and hand out flyers. This is the cheapest way for you and can give you a good source of membership.

You also need to get links to your site so get emailing people and asking. They can only say no.
