When a forum launches its like a white paper. Its the duty of the forum admin and forum staffs to draw a beautiful painting in it.
The picture in it will look good or bad as you will draw it. Creating value for your forum is the same kind of thing.
Focus- Focus on your sole purpose. Choose something that will define your forum in your own way. Its not about niche I am talking about its the way that people will see your forum in your niche. Suppose, your forum is about mobile phones then you can focus on giving reviews of newest phones in the market or create a comparison panel of several company's phones or you can just focus on the specification details of every phone. So, when a visitor comes to your forum he/she should get all the information about the term you are focusing on.
Posting content that will add value- If you are an admin of a new forum then you should mainly focus on building content. But that's not all. Content that will add value to the community and your entire niche, can only define your forum. Posting interesting topics that will lure your users to join and participate is not enough. You have to do content marketing for your forum a lot. Publish articles like tutorials, how to's etc the type of content that surely may not have any participation space but that will add value.
Admin Roles- You may have plenty of staff members who can build content, moderators, designers etc but still if you need to build value for your community then you as admin have to roll the dice. be active in your forum, think of it as home. Help your member, if anybody asks you something then first try to understand it correctly and then react, be patient, build such a trust that your forum members will trust you to rely on when some necessity comes.
