Offering perks?

[JennyorAlice]

I know that not everyone can afford to pay their staff but do you try to at least give the staff perks on your forum since they are helping with activity and doing certain duties? If so, what do you offer?

I will sometimes give them payment in paypal cash when we recieve donations.

In general though they get all account upgrades free, special forums, banner ad in the footer and a colour username of there choice

If you cannot give perks to your staff, than there is no point of starting a forums. Do you think people are willing to spend time on your forum just for free. Nothing on this world comes for free.

You have a point. It is those little rewards and incentives that makes the people keep coming back for more. It is a form of morale and encouragement.
