Earning Money

If you remember my post about the importance to stay consistent, you’ll remember how I said that it was extremely important for you, as a blogger, to stay constant with your posting and to stay with a schedule. If you were going to post five posts a week, make sure you stayed constant with that. Well, the same goes with your forum. It is extremely important for you to stay consistent with your forum. You need to ensure that you are posting regularly on your forum. If you don’t, your community will die. Let me give you an example that might make this more clear for you and might motivate you to work harder and harder.

When starting a forum, we all have that dream of really getting it big. I know that’s how I am when ever I start a forum. However, we really don’t understand how difficult it is going to be to run that forum. Now, let me explain what I mean. We start the forum with the belief that people will flock to it and post and all of that. That’s not the case. When starting a forum, you must post on it constantly. That’s what I mean by consistency. No matter what you may believe, for your forum to be successful, you must post alongside everyone else. This is the key to really getting your forum up from the ground. Consistency.

There will come a time when you can step back and appreciate what is getting done. By getting a moderator or two, you will make it possible to continue the growth of your site without needing to constantly post. But, I will give you a piece of advice that comes from personal preference. If you are going to make a forum, post in that forum all the time. Never stop going to it and never stop posting on it. I’ve seen people that create massive forums and they stop posting on them. They just reap the monetary profits and that is all. To keep your forum a constantly growing forum, I recommend always posting new things and adding to the conversation.

Consistency is important for any type of site. But, it is especially important for your forum. I, myself, have gone lax with my forums from time to time and I have felt it terribly. Reviving a dying forum can be difficult and even harder than starting a new one. Don’t get your site to the point where you need to revive it. Always post on it and ensure that you are posting at least five new threads a day. By posting these new threads, you are offering people a lot of places to make conversation. Who knows? Maybe one of those new threads will become a very big discussion that will go on for five or ten pages. If you walk away from this blog with ONE thing, let it be this: Consistency is the most important thing about being an entrepreneur. Stay consistent with what you do and you will have success.
