You can try using Adsense and if you have followers and members which are active you can sell ads in your forum

AdSense would be something to start with. Then you can also try selling the ads yourself.

I can't say this is from experience, but I DO know that it does takes alot of patience, and consistency. That said, create a beautiful forum (one that makes sense for the topic it's based on), that should lead to lots of users who are happy with it, and keep it maintained. Everything else should fall into place.

Give 2 to 4 years before seeing consistent profit. That is of course that is your aim. Usually up to 1 year if your persistent with your advertising homework.

I definitely agree with Brian.

To really get things rolling, you're going to want to first get a big member base. Once you have that it's game on...

With a huge membership you'll get advertisers that want to buy space, but you'll also be able to email the members since they'll be on your list.

So, the first step in this equation would be to get as many members as possible, or in other words your focus should be on traffic generation to the forum.

Cheers,
-Tom

A private members area. Get the best posters in there free, share quality information and make it desirable for people to be a premium member to get access to the more valuable info. Peopl will pay for good info and knowlegable posters.

My recommendation is adsense + Infolinks


Always try to increase the number of visitors. Try to create additive users... Without them no forum can survive.

it so depends on how many loyal member on your site, depends on their tendency to click on advertising space.to be quick if you have many US loyal visitor with high paid keywords discussion such as forex or health, adsense I believe enough for you

adbrite was working well in forums but you can also make paid membership in some sections... If you have valuable content than this will make you most money.

how do you build up your members if you do not have advertisements out there or generally just not much of a presence?
