Attracting members to a niche forum
I run a niche Ferrari fans forum. Generally our members are niche members who love Ferrari.

How would you go about attracting members to niche forum?

Matt

I'm also having a tough time doing this. Why don't you try to post on relate forums (like car forums) and ask their members what they think?

Very easy forum to promote if you can get other sites that deal with the same thing to allow you to advert on their site. Most sites want your site to be a certain size to advert in some way on their site but if you work with the ownership youd be surprised what you could find so long as your content is good enough.

I aim to get some leaflets done (A5). I just need to find a good leaflet maker in the U.K.

I have contacted other Ferrari fan communities and they haven't replied...

I am going to try contacting some learner driver forums for partnerships. I don't think I will have much luck but I will try

Thanks, If only the design was enough to attract and keep members. My only worry now is it dying so much members will see the old posts and not want to post!! Advertising in specialist magazines would be expensive but worth looking at. I plan to attend some car shows in the future. Trying to save up some away from my college budget!

I'll try contacting some more sites and see what will work.
