is it a good investment to start a forum? - medoampir - 04-08-2014 09:42 PM
I have a good Idea (I think) for a forum, and I'm saying that it is a good one because it is not there and a lot of people need it.
BUT, it will need a budget of $300/mo as a starting, so If at some level I needed to increase my budget to $1,000/mo ,
do I expect a revenue to cover all this?!
I'm expecting a lot of traffic after a while...

I would say no it's a bad idea.
I've been a web entrepreneur and web developer for years.
The fact is, I've seen too many forums start up, and fail.
It takes a LOT of effort to get a profitable (and worthwhile) forum off the ground.
Take a look for yourself. There are so many "Sad" forums out there with the "latest post" years ago.
Is this what you want? A forum that's abandoned?
:o
PS: If you're passionate, and I mean VERY passionate about whatever topic it is, I say go for it.
If you want to get a fast return on investment.. Do something else.
Just my $.02
