Big Board site content
 
If i were to create a potential "Big Board" what sort of content would it need to have?
And how would i go about getting the first few sign ups on the board?

In the long run, maybe the next 4 -5 years i would like to achieve owning a big board with a fair income + adding an E-shop to it eventually, But i just find it hard setting to a specific content.
i would like a board, where you chat about everything. But there also comes the point where it becomes to broad and people dont sign up, because there's nothing on there that they want at all.

So if i was to Create the perfect board what would i have?
how would i market it...
and how would i keep people active whilst still having a life of my own.

I am curious, assuming someone had the magic answer to this question, why on earth do you think they would share it?

Simple: Unique content in a large market.

True, most people wouldnt share the right idea.

With the Unique content.
I'm just having trouble trying to decide which would be best to open a site in.
Im thinking that if i open a site in a big market, its then harder for my site to actually start off, as most people have already found a place.

If you think of it, just let me know first alright :D

If you love it and passionate about it, go for it! Rest will follow.

Contnent needs to based around Pogo-Stick'ing and everything Pogo Sticks... but shhhhh dont tell anyone else! ;)

Like the vb guy said.

Unique content which is popular to the masses. Simple but hard to think of something that hasnt been done yet.

There is no reason why your large market place can't be a niche one... the key is creating something different.

I concur with others, unique content works
Also, find a niche that needs new content on a daily basis to be successful. A good example, although over crowded with forums IMHO, is the financial trading market. These guys need new information every hour of every day, so they crave it.
I would also add that for something to be really successful you need to have some passion for it. Building a big board is no easy task and takes a lot of time and effort, if you are going to do it, you mind as well do it on a topic you enjoy, if not you are going to be writing and reading a lot of stuff you do not like and then you will get tired and it will not happen.

Best of luck!

Our board is not considered a "big board" yet, but I think the sucess of a forum has to do with the passion of the owner/creator. If you are passionate about your forums main subject, visitors will feel that vibe and become members who are also passionate about your subject, and those passionate members will become adicts who refer and talk about your site to thier friends... and the cycle is never ending.

So what are you passionate about?
