Forums vs. Blogs
August 27, 2007 – 11:05 amA couple of days ago, I revisited an old forum where I used to post like mad. After achieving my post target, I left. I say “mad” because there was no compensation at all except that I forged a few friendships that lasted till today.
Anyway, I was checking my old bookmarks and I saw this forum and decided to check it out. I saw a thread asking “Forum vs. Blogs”.
I really felt like laughing when I saw this thread. Obviously people who need an answer to this question haven’t discovered paid blogging yet. Once they blog and blog for pay, I believe they don’t have the time to hang out in forums anymore. By the way, I left the forum before I started blogging so I didn’t leave because I had better things to do.
I was telling my dad that if these people know about blogging for pay, I could just imagine the whole forum deserted. And if I were asked, I would reply, “Need you ask?”

My experience with forums is that you have to invest in them a lot to keep them going for a long time.
Most get silent after a while.

Hi Laane!
Thanks for your visit and comment. You are right. Members need a lot of encouragement, incentive and baits to keep them posting! I know, I was a forum queen twice, once without compensation, once WITH compensation
