Any tips to start a new forum??

In my opinion you should add content first to your forum then ask your readers to join. If the readers won't get anything important in your forum then they will never join. Moreover, you should use a customized theme, well defined logo to attract your visitors. A professional look to your forum will always have a great advantage. Asking only your readers or fellow bloggers will not do the overall work for your forum. You should do proper SEO like building backlinks, email marketing, social media marketing etc.

Great tips admin. Is there any way that i can know about the current(present day) trend? I mean all the bloggers and writers in my niche, what they are talking about right now.?
This idea of mine is to deliver the current hot topics a blow to increase the engagement in my forum. And also i would like to know your view about this idea of mine.
