hahaha you are sooooo right about it, people are happy mappy when start something and initially they will jump in deep and do this or that and slowly slowly the interest fades away lollllThis is a common problem for most forum users. They have a great idea, they invest quite good amount of money yet they cannot commit to the community due to time constrains. I was once an active member on two forums on generative AI niche, they were was vibrant communities when they started but then the enthusiast started dying because the owner couldn't bring in members and couldn't remain active. When people invest considerable amount of money in domain, hosting, software, addons, etc. they must also be willing to invest in content development.
By the way, I have been helping forum owners to run their communities for a long time, I have a gig on Growth and Exchange Marketplace, that you might want to check (sorry for being promotional. )
But for me, I am not gonna run away, trust me, I had a forum like 10 years ago and I grew that from zero to ovr 40K or 50K monthly active users I had, that time I was even making around 300 dollars per month from only google ads
Now, I have so many ideas as you said lol even I can not work on them, but I will never leave my sites. i have over 15 sites and I always go time to time on them. I just enjoy having everything I like, if people come or not, I do not mind. I just enjoy having stuff I like, but if I get traffic that is awesome too.
For now, I can not really afford promotions
Going through rough times, thanks to Canada lol everything is super expensive and living with job is a nightmare but I have no choice.
If ever I need promotional stuff, I know you here as I have seen your threads here, you have been amazing working with various forums. So you would be ideal for me if I would ever need promotions. Thank you so much for the time and writing to my thread in reply, much appreciated.
