Do you advertise your forum?1

[Shole]

If you do, how do you advertise it?
For me I love to go mouth to mouth through other forums, or maybe free guest posts and such.
How about you folks?

I haven't done much to advertise my craft forum but now that the covid cases are dwindling and people are getting back to normal I plan on going to craft shows and wear clothing that advertises my site. I'm hoping that being visible will peak some curious interest from other crafters.

I generally post advertisements on websites that I know that are friendly towards allowing members to post links to their own sites. Haven't done local advertising in awhile.

Yes you can do it from time to time but not in a constant way means a little advertising from time to time will be good depending on your budget or the money that you have on your pocket money.

Yes I advertise my news forum - on social media and some forums which I am highly active. My forum is new so I am open to suggestions and feedback on how to market my forum online. For me, the best option to advertise a website is mainly social media - facebook, twitter, instagram, this forum, etc etc.

Most websites have a social activity means they have social pages to help in promoting this is due to that people are most of the time on social media networks and rarely browsing websites for finding information so this is a recommended way.

My advertising is mostly thru social media and thru a promotional forum. However, with the social media, it's a tough deal cause money is needed. It simply won't go out to enough people - even with a decent or large sized following.

Advertising your forum is the most important thing because that is the only way that people will be able to find out and know about what you are doing and the benefits that it can offer them.

I have never spent any money to advertise my forums, however, I use free promotion methods. I use other forums in the same niche or webmaster forums to promote my forums. Promotion is very important to get members and activities on your forums.

I mainly depend on signature advertising on sites I'm a member of and post consistently with a catchy tagline on my advertisement banner that matches the theme of my board. I constantly help people on the official Jcink support board and I think my signature is where most of my members have come from considering I haven't done a whole lot of advertising since the board has been open and I've never done paid advertising either.
