Dont talk about earning money first, attracting high traffic to your forum isn't easy. Firstly you need to dedicated to your forum, posting things that people want to read and discuss, and then you need to have some die hard wonderful mods working for you mindlessly like those in LYN, and finally, you need to attract a bunch of die hard members.

So, no members no discussion, no discussion no members. It is sort of chicken and egg problem. So at the beginning you gotta be the chicken and egg first, unless you are creating a forum based on some famous topic that already has lots of die hard fans, eg. a game? a shopping center? A mountain? An cartoon animal?

And then how to earn marnie.... hua hua hua, why the admins and mods keeping quiet here? LYN a charity site? Share a bit la. In short it is all about advertisement, ads ads and more ads. But note, ads focused forum will likely frighten away your members.
