Budget for a forum

[Joshua Farrell]

If you're looking to start a new forum, chances are that you'll probably have to have a little bit of money. Whether you have a lot of money or just a little money, you'll have to pick and chose where you want to spend it. Ads, paid posting, paying staff, software purchases, and other various things can add up quickly. If you don't have a plan, you have a good shot of spending all your money too soon. With all that being said: How do you make your budget? Where do you put your money in the beginning?
