People make 100 dollars a week easy (many a lot more than this) on as little as 1300 uniques a day to their forum. I make x,xxx a month among my forums. My biggest one nets about 1200-1500 uniques a day on a normal day. There are people out there that make xx,xxx with forums.

It takes time, hard work and creativity. But trust me, Bama is right, it can be done.

yo edik ur not the only one wondering. im was i have had my site open for 6 months not a dollar has come in yet we have eveything like 50 members a day alot of posting but no one subscribes should i make a commercail or somthing???

we are starting to bring in some cash.. but its not from advertising.. although we are starting to become more aggressive on advertising..

there are alot of ways to generate funds on a forum.. (well I guess it depends on the forum).. for instance our forum allows us to hold events, meet and greets, contests ect..

my board has been open just over 9 months now and I am seeing about 1mil hits a month.. 12-1300 uniques a month

Well the best thing is to start with google adsense and then make some paid subscription so users can buy extra rights.

I say that because I have come across a site that the owner says (and I believe him) 50 million hits++ since 2003, and yet he is finding hard to attract advertising (why he doesn't use CPM/CTR/CPA/CPC I don't know) and may have to shut the board down as he can't afford it!!! He has 5000+ users and 0.5 million posts.

Does this sound unusual????

If he can't make any money from this it kinda makes me think how the heck ANYONE makes any money from advertising!!!!

advice appreciated!!!

I myself do it purely for a hobby, all monies earned from my sites is purely to help with the running costs, dont get me wrong, i would love to make money from it but its a lot easier said than done!!

You would be suprised how easy it is.But I don't tell my secrets
