How to start a forum from scratch
Everybody knows what is a forum and some of you already posted on it. When you post on forums you normally ask for a question of answer one, but if you find a forum that is totally empty, would you post a question on it ? Most probably not because you absolutely don't know if your question will be answered. In fact, if you post on an empty forum it is because you already posted on many many forums and you don't got the answer you wanted, so you're desperate.
So if you want people to post on your forum (whatever the subject of the forum is) you have to create some posts. There is 2 possible ways to do this :
1. Create it all by yourself
If you have time and a lot of content you want to post on it, you can create your own posts. If you take that strategy, be sure to create many accounts so you don't answer all the questions with the same user that asked it. I already did that by myself one time, but if your time is money (like mine), you probably don't want to spend a lot of time writing posts. If so, you will love the second way to fill a forum.
2. Pay someone to do it
If you don't want to do it by yourself, just pay someone to do it. It can be as simple as asking one of your friend to post on your forum and tell him that you will buy him something he want or you will pay him for every post he writes on your forum. If you don't want to bother your friends, you can pay an internet-only enterprise (that is specialized in forum posting) to do it. There is more and more people who are willing to pass their days writing posts on different subject and get paid to do it.
I personnaly paid some internet companies to post on my forums and it saved me a lot of time. I was surprised to see how good the posts were; they don't look fake. Normally it costs from 10 to 25 cents per post. The more posts you buy, the cheapest it is by post.
Here are some forum posting companies (the best I know so far) :

http://www.contentcurrent.com

For my experience, if you try to start a forum without boosting it, you will only get a few posts and they will take a long time to arrive... so you absolutely need to add content to boost it.
Be paid to post on my forums
I recently wrote a page on my blog for people that want to make money with me. I own the website iSeduction.net and all it's sub-domains; in fact, I created all of them. I have add a forum section like you see on many websites.
Because I don't have the time to create posts, I need help to start populating it. One day it will attract enough people to auto-populate by itself, but presently I'm at the beginning so... I need help.

I offer you the chance to make 200$ in a couple of days by simply posting on my forums. It's 10 cents per post, but if you write more than 1000 posts it shifts to 20 cents per post. You have the time you want, you can create how many account you want and I pay only via PayPal. You must contact me before starting to post.
Forums : New functionality in iSeduction.net
I recently added a new feature in iSeduction.net : forums. Forums are a good way to exchange with people around the world on many subjects. Everyone can post on forums.
There is a lot of forums on the web and there was no way I don't add one in my dating site. I don't have as many posts as Plenty Of Fish have but there is a start for everything. Everything needed to post on my forums is a free profile (created here).
The forums can be found at http://forums.iseduction.net.
