Your ideas for brand new forum

Im trying to grow a brand new forum about the national parks in the USA which you can find here: https://www.national-parks-usa.com/forum/

Off course it won't grow itself but what would you advise me to do to get more links and other promotion to my forum.

Maybe you could share your "brand-new-website-tactics" with me? ;-)

TIA!

 

Learn what is seo, combine off-page seo and on-page seo and everything will be ok.

 

I don't have any good news for you. Forums are the most difficult platfroms to get off the ground. The problem is, even if you rank 1st for a million keywords, no one is going to hang around let alone signup, if the forum is empty or has very little activity. You're going to have to buildup not only the amount of threads and conversations but also the member count.

You can create a lot of accounts yourself and ask family/friends to help, or you can hire people to help create activity.

 

You may hire someone on upwork or fiverr to create some accounts on it and make some posts to get the ball rolling. You may also share a work about your forum on other forums like you did here. Share it on relevant Facebook groups and on reddit.

 

First of all two hyphens in one domain is a big turn off. A domain should be easy to remember.
Secondly what information does your site have which people can't already find on google maps/reviews? Suppose if I want to visit a park I will find all the information on google maps e.g. reviews pictures etc. In my opinion such a forum will be very difficult to run or take off ground.

 

Yes, forums are hard and expensive to promote as you need to create some activity in the beginning. You can either do it yourself or pay others.
As mentioned above, nobody will sign up if your forums looks abandoned.

 

Your forum will fail due to the subject matter. Very few people are even going to check your forum out. You will be posting by yourself with perhaps 10 guests per day reading, then it will drop off to zero.

 

1. Find forums where your customers are engaged. ...
2. Join the forum as a person. ...
3. Make sure to read the rules. ...
4. Complete your profile for forum marketing. ...
5. Add a signature with social media etc. ...
6. Add valuable insights to threads.

 

Forum promotion is taking some time but if you are getting fresh unique thread and reply on regular basis then these activities will ease your work a bit. If you have resource like friend circle then invite them to share his ideas by create thread or by reply. If not then you should choose any professional service who can promote your forums on different platforms to get new members and cotents by registered members.

Your niche market is a bit different in case of forum / comunity but a bit competitive also ..... because there are many tour travel portals who are providing these types of information ..... So you have to work hard and on regular basis .... Good luck.

 

forum promotion is about to get some loyal users into there. They will create many threads, which will get indexed, and gain some search traffic.
and here are some more tips to make it clear:

1. Participate in online discussions: Look for forums and discussion boards related to your niche or industry. Participate in discussions and provide helpful insights or advice. Be sure to include a link to your forum in your signature or profile.
   
   
2. Social media promotion: Use social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn to promote your forum. Share interesting and relevant content from your forum and engage with your followers.

4. Collaborate with influencers: Reach out to influencers in your niche and invite them to participate in discussions on your forum. This can help attract new members and generate buzz around your forum.
   
   
5. Guest posting: Write guest posts for other blogs and websites in your niche. Include a link to your forum in your author bio or in the body of the post.
   
   
6. SEO optimization: Optimize your forum for search engines by using relevant keywords in your content, creating high-quality backlinks, and ensuring that your site is mobile-friendly and easy to navigate.
