An empty forum is like an empty restaurant. Does that make any sense? Let me elaborate a bit.

Imagine yourself walking through a city, looking for somewhere to eat. You’re hungry, but you don’t want to eat just ‘anywhere’, why? because you’ve got your partner with you and it’s a special occasion.

OK, so you walk down this street and you see this restaurant and it’s absolutely empty, the only people you can see are waitresses and they’re standing around doing nothing, nothing! Why? Because there are no customers, the place is dead!.

The exterior and interior of this restaurant is no different to any other restaurant on that street, but you don’t go in, why? because it’s empty, so it MUST be bad, right?

Well it’s exactly the same for your forum. Nobody wants to register because it’s empty, there’s nothing going on, not even an admin on a post frenzy could make it look busy enough for someone to want to get involved.

So to get past this, you’ve got to START with a busy forum. That’s right, you’ve got to make people perceive your forum as being busy, that’s marketing folks. If your forum looks like it’s absolutely buzzing, how much more likely is someone going to be, to get involved? That’s right, your forum popularity will increase exponentially.

Now you’re probably thinking, but how do I START with a popular forum, right? Well, there’s tools out there that make this possible. Yahoo answers allows webmasters to use it’s content on their own websites.

Yahoo answers is absolutely full of topics and replies on a massive variety of topics. You can take this content and publish it on your forum.

Manual forum posting is time consuming, that’s why Launch My Forum made an automated solution.
