We have a lot of people here who have succeful forums so these are the minds I want to pick.... do you have a advertising budget? is it just word of mouth? incentives to your users to get referals or what?

how do you go from small time to big time?

if you have some success stories that would be great also...

thank you for sharing....

I pay .10 a sticker and on average sell for $1 a sticker. Currently around the world there are over a thousands of stickers and over 3000 t-shirts.

I figure I make money and get free advertising. My large site is www.everything2stroke.com I just started www.everythingmx.com and www.everythingduners.com. I have 6 other sites that will be launched soon.

I used a hack to link my sites user tables so that all my users from my first site have access to my other sites. This eliminates having to grow a site from 0 users and allows current users to access all the sites with 1 username and password.
Hi!

Are you using a MOD to share the user database between multiple forums? Or did you custom build a solution for it?

Yeah I have 1 site that I started 2 years ago but wanted to expand but didn't want to start from scratch and the last thing my current members would want to do is register on another site. So I modded the VB code to allow me to use the User Tables and PM Tables from the Master site basically creating a slave site.

I have the instructions posted here

Good luck and I hope it helps you out.
