Discuss the methods and tactics on encouraging your forum members to invite others to join your forum. It's a very underrated advertising method and can bring in some very valuable members.
- Offer rewards or incentives for members who successfully invite new members to join your forum. This could be in the form of a prize or a special status or badge on the forum.
- Provide your members with an easy way to invite others, such as by including a referral link or a pre-written invitation message in their forum profile.
- Remind your members of the benefits of being a part of your forum community and encourage them to share these benefits with their friends and connections.
- Create a contest or challenge where members compete against each other to see who can invite the most new members. (Referral Contests)
- Encourage your members to share your forum on their social media accounts and provide them with pre-written messages or graphics that they can use to promote your forum.
- Highlight new members who have joined your forum through an invite from another member. This will give recognition to the person who invited and make other members eager to do the same.
- Encourage your members to send personal messages to their friends and family, explaining why they enjoy being a member of your forum and why they think their friends and family would benefit from joining.
