AdSense/CPC Blogging & RSS Design Getting Started Making Money Traffic / PromotionNeed Traffic? Get a Free Forum on WebsiteBabble.com!14 comments

You may remember my post last summer about renting a forum on WebsiteBabble.com. I have been working out all the kinks, terms and details of this sponsorship and I’m ready to offer a free trial to one or two people who fit the ideal profile for sponsorship.

I believe this can be an amazing opportunity for the right kinds of sponsors. Even though I’m mainly targeting developers/designers, I may extend the offer to certain affiliates, bloggers, Internet marketing services, etc.

However, I believe designers and developers (or any service that caters to new bloggers/webmasters) will gain the biggest benefit due to the kinds of members on Website Babble.

So if you design blog themes, do graphic design or any kind of web development and need more customers, this could provide a major boost for your business. Imagine if you charge $200 for logo design. One new customer per month would cover your monthly sponsorship fee.

Offering a free trial will allow me to get a feel for pricing. I have no idea how well this will work so this is an experiment for all of us! So if you’re interested, head on over to my forum for more details on how to get a free trial.

I am not “eligible” to enter this story but I wanna say I am glad you organized everything and I know people will only benefit from your forum. I mean entering an already established forum is way easier than creating one from scratch.

I hope we get to hear about the results Hope you have a great week Lisa!

Hi
As sponsorship program you can also include one more thing. For example :
1. Apply the certain amount of charges for those forum member who want to include more than one signature link.
2. Sticky thread sponsorship program.
3. You can also offer banner advertisements.

Wow, this is awesome Lisa,

I don’t fit the bill either, however I’m excited to see how this works out for you and your sponsors. I trust you’ll keep us all updated.

Good luck!

Regards,

Ti Roberts

I’ve never seen something like that before and I must say you came up with a really good idea. And I think you shouldn’t really charge next to nothing for this, the $5-$20 option just seems..I don’t know.

I think this will be a great opportunity for people who actually have visitors who wish to join a forum. Sadly I can just about get a couple of comments from visitors.

Anything which is offered for free has an opportunity to draw people to it. I looks like websitebabble.com is very effective site going just the number of posts.

not a bad way to expand monetization avenues, especially for a forum which is quite challenging to monetize inherently.

Emma RoseMay 7, 2011 at 7:02 am

Thanks for a great read. I had been considering starting up a forum but it seemed a little to complex.

everybody is looking for ways to increase traffic nice way to put things together.

Renting or having a free forum is interesting idea. I didn’t realize that anyone could rent a forum just to gain traffic. Although I am not eligible to rent a forum, I still think that your forum looked very organized and very neat.

Interesting idea – will it work for any niche? or is it specific to designers?

I’m looking for a ways to effectively promote my new blog and any ideas are welcome, when they have a good pay off on work committed.

I really need ways to promote a blog that I am starting about the game of Rift and this sounds like a good idea. I had no idea that you could rent a forum on a subject in order to promote a blog. Thank you for this post.
