Launching the Inspired Money Maker Forums

Written by Paul Piotrowski - Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Over the last few years I have received many emails from my readers suggesting I launch a discussion forum on this Blog.

I’ve dabbled with forums in the past but I have found that for a forum to be successful it requires either a very large traffic base or a very targeted topic, otherwise it’s easy for a forum to die from inactivity before it even gets a chance to get off the ground.

Building a successful forum is kind of like building a Blog.  The beginning stages are the hardest.  When you first start building a Blog, one of the hardest things to get going are comments.  Nobody wants to leave comments when nobody else is leaving comments.  Once a few people start leaving comments, others usually jump in.

Forums are the same way.  Once you get the initial group of people on-board and posting regularly, a forum usually starts to take off on its own.

Why I Decided to Launch a Forum Now

When I went through the exercise of writing my elevator pitch last week, I finally found the exact specific market I want to target – Internet Marketing for Inspired Entrepreneurs.

Getting clear on my target market made me realize that this is the right time to launch a forum.  My intention with launching the forum is to build a community of like-minded Inspired Entrepreneurs who can help each other grow and prosper online.

The forum will also give me an opportunity to dive into a more diverse array of topics and get some feedback from my readers.

A secondary benefit to the forums is that I am creating a number of private forums for my coaching and mentoring students where I can connect with them in between our live sessions, where I can provide them with resources and where they can connect with other students I’m mentoring.

So, it’s been a long time coming but I’m happy to announce the launch of the Inspired Money Maker Forums.

Get Started Today

Be one of the first people to sign up for our new forums.  Head over to the forums now and register before all the cool user names are gone:  Inspired Money Maker Forums

Once you’ve registered, take a minute to introduce yourself on the forums here:  Introduce Yourself

I’m still working on getting the forums structured and setup properly and I’ll be working on making them look more pretty after that, but in the meantime I just wanted to announce the launch so people can get registered and start posting.

  1. If you’re going to create a professional forum site at your own domain without any forced ads, you need a web host providing forum vbulletin.

  3. Congrats Paul – I’m going to be launching a forum as well – on a completely different set of topics.

    I feel that a sense of community will bring a larger audience to your blog and what you have to share. Enjoy!
