Still on making real money online? Why not try building your own online forum? There are plenty of subjects you could dive into for building a worthwhile forum – all you need to do is choose one that you already have a good deal of knowledge in. Or better you could add one to a site you have now, which can be an excellent way of monetizing your existing traffic.
A forum is also an excellent way of providing more value for your visitors. This people have a reason to return to your website because they know there will be regular fresh content on there. More so, the search engine spider will even visit your site which can eventually result in a higher ranking.

Building a forum sometimes requires a bit of effort initially, but there are a lot of rewards to be had. It might also be a lot cheaper than you think, just have a good look round the internet to see which ones appeal to you the most before deciding.
That’s all very well, but how do you actually make money from this?
Making money with it does depend on the subject of the forum, but you can charge a fee for people to gain access to it if you provide them with decent information and there is something worth gaining for the money. Some news related sites charge a fee for access which encourages people to visit the site on a daily basis, but obviously your site might be on a completely different subject altogether.
You can also make it a free membership forum but in order to get access to premium features you would need to pay a small monthly fee. This strategy often gets a better take up rate as people get the chance to sample what the site is like before deciding whether or not to pay the extra money.
Some people also offer membership only websites which have a members’ only forum as part of the overall package. These are usually based around a popular subject but go into it in more depth and offer unique content that can’t be found anywhere else.
For example, there is plenty of content out there about writing and selling e-books, but there is at least one person offering a members’ only site that goes into the whole process step by step, sharing their own success of writing and selling e-books in an in-depth fashion. This is the kind of format you want to aim for.
So if you have some ideas on creating a forum, community or members’ only site of your own, why not start making steps towards making them a reality? You might find those ideas hold a monthly income for you that you only need to start tapping into.
