I am trying to launch a closed community. It will be very small but very active and I need special features such as the like, smiley and will also enable people to insert urls along with videos.

phpbb has a great community. And on the other hand Mybb is great forum with great features but as their community is small so they are slow in many terms.

I am mulling right now. Should I be looking for any paid options?

Any suggestions specially @batman

Which is the best tool to do it? Specially when you are looking to check competition.

Devastating fall in traffic in the gaming niche today.

I don't know whether if it's discussed or not. Probably yes. But since last year as with the virus and lockdowns, people are more & more mulling to invest in any traditional way of passive earning. They are getting more and more into online stuff.

So, what do you guys think?? Which is the most reliable?? Safe??

Blogging-- selling ads or making money through adsense or such.

Blogging-- Affiliate marketing.

Making videos on youtube (Youtube Marketing).

Social Media -- Instagram and other what not's, Sponsored tweets..

Doing freelance work.

Selling service.

Or, creating your own product & selling it online (like Books)

???????

I have been searching for this since quite some time now. Everybody suggests it. But nobody actually explains and/or give some detailed insight that how one should execute it.

The main reason I have found that nobody actually talks about is that there is no particular rule of engagement. Everything varies from person to person. So, if anybody can share some light in a generalised way then I will be grateful.

Recently, it happened to me. I changed my hosting. The concerned site is in a shared hosting and it is been moved to a VPS with different separate IP and all.

But after moving the site. The rankings fell drastically specially the international keywords which were ranking in many countries across the globe. A friend of mine suggested that it may be the IP that is responsible.

What do you guys say?

Does it happen? As many users who are using VPN, I am seeing terrible impression rate and worse CTR.

Do you people hire services to do that??

I am seeing offers which says around $15-25 for targeted thousand members.

Every now and then I see some forum posts in the common marketplaces and also in social media channels like this.

When some writers charge thousands of dollars for content writing then how come these writers are able to write articles at such cheap prices??

No, I am not looking to hire content writers. If anybody is thinking about it..

But I am just curious.

Some of the big marketing and/or conversion (or making sales) blogs are just fakes.. Why??

Simply because they don't provide you with any information that can be stated as 'Actionable'.

They just move around the topic, on & on, back & forth... And don't provide you the real information that you are dying to know.. In order to get that piece of information you have to subscribe or register which doesn't usually comes in cheap.

Now some might say that it is controversial and they are just doing business. I know it is true. But that doesn't make it right. Atleast provide some information and then ask for money for the rest..

Every niche has these kind of sites. But in marketing niche it's off the roof. Almost all major sites are either FAKE or just provide you bogus information..
