Honestly I've seen more successful websites using Wordpress than premium scripts. You don't need a premium CMS or even forum script to have a successful website/forum. As long as you put hard work into your website, you will see results.

I know a popular gas station chain called Buc-ee's always has weird and funny billboards to help promote their business. I think it works, because it really does get people talking. Plus the mascot looks a bit humorous too.

I only eat cheese mixed with other foods. I think it's a bit too sour and needs something like meat to pair with it so I can enjoy it. But pepper jack is my favorite cheese!

It depends on the products your selling. If it's a product for younger audiences, I would try and market your goods on Tik Tok or even Reddit. If it's for the older demographic, go with Facebook since it's more popular with those who are Gen X or Baby Boomers.

I believe webmaster and promotional forums are probably the top two best niches to go with these days. I personally think gaming is a bit too saturated unless you branch off and either talk about a specific game or focus on a specific genre.

I'm not the best when it comes to creating graphics, but my go to is always GIMP. It's free and has some great tools you'll need to make graphics for your websites. Is it as powerful as Photoshop? No but it's a great free alternative.

Reddit and Youtube are the platforms I've been spending the most time on recently. I stopped going on Facebook after they started allowing anti Transgender posts on their platform. Though I should log back in to let my friends and family know, my parents know at least since they've noticed I...

X is a terrible platform, but Threads isn't as popular. I wouldn't want to promote my business on a platform that is catered to those who discriminate against minorities so I still would go with Threads.

I think manual approval can put members off from participating in your community if you don't have an active admin who's there to approve accounts as soon as possible. Last year I tried joining a forum that had admin approval enabled and noticed that the last time anyone signed up on the forum...

It depends is the business online or offline? If it's an offline business I would look into promoting your business in the real world first and then do so online. You'll need an online presence either way.

It depends on how large your forum is. If you've got at least 60 members who are quite active you'll need to hire one moderator. If you've got a small forum, you should be able to manage the community just fine by yourself.

Amazon is definitely the number one place to publish your ebooks. Remember Amazon started out as a book store! Many people who read ebooks do so on a Kindle, or heck even on their phones now days and they've been using Amazon more than any other platform. Though you should try and publish your...

I think it matters to a point, but I personally like to go with different tld like zone if it matches the name of my website. I have a few different tld that aren't .com, .net, or .org. More people are familiar with .com since it's the oldest tld extension.

I think we're going to see more individuals and businesses going down this route. It's nice that we have tools to make website building easier than ever before, and more people are going to take advantage of that. I have a coworker who does modeling on the side and I brought up a few web hosts...

Go with a short, clear message like mentioned above. Remember you want to grab the attention of someone driving fast down a highway and you want the billboard to stand out. For example Buc-ee's has some billboards with funny meme phrases and while I was traveling home from Atlanta I kept seeing...
