Hi there everyone, I have just started a wholesale dropshipping forum and would like some advice on where to market a dropship forum . Has anyone had any experance in marketing a forum ? I have websites on page one of google but never worked with a forum before.
the forum address is wholesaledropshippingforums.co.uk its a place where people can talk just about dropshipping and wholesaling . If anyone has any views and experance and don't mind telling me that would be great

Hi, welcome to YE.
I joined your forum. If you need any help running the forum, I'm your man. I have lots of admin/mod experience
And the best way to get members is doing what your doing in this post mostly. You can also make a referral system, a reward system, etc.

I may be able to get you some traffic, but you've got to clean it up first. You've got some Chinese spammers on there already and they will run people off in a heartbeat.
You don't even have to look at the post, just start deleting as soon as you see stuff like this - cheap jordans sneakers fusion wholesale jordan air jordan 24
and this - ◣★◢cheap nike,jordan,puma,adidas,timberland,prada,bape star,clothes
You will never have a credible membership if you keep crap like that up.
And you will also need a firm "no fakes" rule to keep active members.
I'm active on two major UK forums in the same markets and they are both very clean and well maintained as far as spam and counterfeits. If you allow that, you will soon have nothing but spammers and one-time visitors.

I don't mention other forums when I'm on another.
What you need to do is find a plug-in for your forum package that requires a live person the register to post and ban by IP those who spam. It can be a full-time job. Get with the Vbulletin folks and see what they suggest.
Some very good wholesale forums have gone down due to Chinese spammers.
