I give prizes on my mainstream forum, next comp will give away a digital camera, the comp after a dvd player etc.

Prizes don't have to be expensive but they definately get people posting. In the UK you can pick up DVD players for less than £15 ($30) One competition we gave away handmade chocolate from a specialist choc shop and that did really well.

Is a very good idea... but i don't have too much money to start giving prizes like that..

I wanted to give away paysite memberships, but had no way to check to see that the winner would be an adult!

I've had one up for 10 years now and it's not easy to get people to join, post and stay and keep posting. Offering freebies works but then they take the prize and run.

You have to give them something unique and make sure the women who post are real!

you could always setup a mini site with password entry and just chuck a bit of relatively unique content in there, hand out id/pw as a thankyou for contributing

that rent a troll site is funny

i suggest you dont start too big and find you have topics etc that lack content
its going to be hard work to get this all started (with my adult forum i spent a month everyday for 3 hours finding and posting content) but now my members run it with posting and i just keep the peace and am going to be adding alot of money making sponsored content now.

May i suggest you run a forum maybe to start with on a topic of personal interest or hobby so that maybe you can help your members in that area.
Or an area that you know alot about

I think for a first forum and maybe even first site a large forum with alot of topics and categories is a big challenge for one person and with a lack of experience...
but if thats what you want to do good luck to you and i really hope it all works out (keeps us informed)
