Sell services and merch on your forum

[riberet19]

Many forums provide other services and even sell merch on their platform, sometimes related to the forum itself, do you think this is a good strategy? Or do you think it's not for all forums? I suppose for very large forums this can be beneficial to you, but small forums won't be able to benefit from this in my opinion.

I have sold services from a lot of forums but not from my own forum. I have never sold merch from forums but I have sold from blogs. I think selling services and merch is a good way to build revenue on forums.

Selling services and merchandise on a forum can boost engagement and revenue. You need to integrate a marketplace section, allow trusted members to offer services, and feature exclusive merch. Ensuring secure transactions and clear rules helps maintain trust while monetizing the community effectively.
