I have collaborated with so many other freelancers in the past. I know there's strength in work together than working against one another. I can remember when I needed help with one job, it was a fellow freelancer who assisted me. Also, I've been helped with receiving payments when I had...
It's always very important to ask for feedbacks from your clients after you have delivered your services to them. It's the only way you can be able to know how they view your job and know where to improve.
If you're not having a lot of traffic on your forum, it's going to be a tough work to earn from it even if you have Adsense account or any other advertisers like InfoLinks. It's a lot more easier to do it on blogs than forums.
I have used Swagbucks to make money. It's one of the best paid survey websites out there. The only downside of Swagbucks is that their services isn't available worldwide. There are some parts of the world where you can't use their paid survey services.
Google Adsense is the best option to use when you're interested in having either your forum or blog monetized. It pays better than other services out there. If it's possible to sell membership subscription, it means you have to offer something which is worth paying for by your members before...
Currently, I don't have a blog but if I did, I will definitely grow it and have it monetized because I know Google recognises and rank blogs better than they do with forums. It's why when you want to make money from being a webmaster quicker, it's better to choose blogs.
If you want to make money easily from Google, the blog way should be what to follow because they get recognised and ranked by Google way to easier than how forums are. Optimise your blog, publish high quality contents and have decent engagements, Google will do the rest for you.
I haven't done anything with blogs except for visiting the one's I'm interested in once in a while to look for contents to engage in. If it's about what I prefer to run and manage, it's forum.
A single niche forum will thrive well if you have the traffic of users who are interested in that niche to engage in discussion on the subjects. If you don't have many people into it, generating traffic will be very slow.
Also having dedicated staff members who will help you to manage everything goes a long way in making sure none of your project is overlooked and lacking.
Some adult websites allows you full access to do access their content without having to register. It's only a handful of them that asks for subscription before you can watch their videos but you can access pictures.
If you count Facebook groups, I have 2 of them which is about 3 years and 2 years apart. As for a forum, I had one in 2020 but couldn't keep up with it when COVID was ravaging.
No, I don't like this feature when it's used in forums. I don't bother with joining such forums because it makes me feel like they have something to hide from the start.
It's human management I love so much with forum management. It's not just the forum you're managing when you have members who are actively involved in your forum. If you don't manage them right, they might all walk away.
It's general discussion forums I would say is the most easiest to start out. It doesn't take so much and there are millions of topics that can be started on it. Users can easily get into it. Coding, promotional and admin forums are quite demanding to start.
Social media marketing is very good when you do your targeting well for your forum promotion. Social media platforms have the numbers to push traffic to your forum if you use it effectively.
Experience, knowledge, management and leadership qualities of a forum owner is what's going to make a forum successful. A forum owner might be 50 years old but still an idiot who doesn't know how to run the community and it's going to crash.
This is true. With a webmaster or promotional forum, it needs a lot of work because there are so many aspects to work on which one person can't oversee it all.
I've seen your forum set up with Jcink, it does look good to be honest. If I should ever have the need to explore outside XenForo, I'll be willing to give Jcink a good run.
