guide How to Start a Discussion Forum [Complete Guide]

[Monetize.info ✔️]

In this complete guide, I will teach you how to start a discussion forum. We will begin with the mindset you should have as a successful forum owner, how to pick a lucrative niche, how to technically set up the forum (domain, hosting, forum software, mandatory pages), and how to promote it to get members and how to monetize your forum correctly.

I hope you are NOT intimidated by the massive growth of social network discussion groups like Facebook Groups and LinkedIn. Even if forums lost some momentum to social media, many thriving, profitable communities are out there. And I’m eager to help you start one.
