How Can A Message Forum Community Grow?

[naitsirhc26]

I have a website that is a little over a month old, and the message forum already has 5 other members, other than me. I think this is pretty good growth, and I was wondering how I could advertise, or make the community grow. Whatever I am doing now seems to be working. Isn't 5 other members good with only 20 unnique visitors a day?

There are some good ideas here: Starting a Web Community [webmasterworld.com]. Some of the other threads in the library may be helpful, too: [webmasterworld.com...]

One thing you might do is see if each of your existing members can get a friend to start posting - that would double your number in one shot.

There are many places where you can hire forum posters now. Also, you can find forums where forum owners will post on your forum if you post on theirs.
