    Keeping content flowing on a forum

    When running a forum one of the main priorities is to keep content flowing whether it be new content or just replies to current content it is always wise to keep your forum looking active. The problem with running a forum and having to keep it active is that you can end up with writers block and sometimes don't know what to write about to create new content leaving your forum somewhat dead until the writers block wears off or relying on members to keep content coming in.

    I have on a few occasions ended up with writers block when it's come to my forums. I try to always have fresh new content up daily if I can to give my members something new to read and reply to but when writers block hits I find that my forum dies for a little while and then getting it back active again is always a harder task.

    As a forum owner how have you dealt with writers block? Is it something that affects you regularly or do you find it easy to create new content to keep your forum running smoothly?

    For a forum to survive noways you need an active base of users to keep everything active on a daily basis. But such users can be really hard to find and gain, this is why I recommend you start hiring some freelancers to great content for you until you get a community together and you don't really need the help anymore.
    But yeah, you can't do everything on your own, especially at first, if you don't have a solid based of users that can post for free, hiring freelancers may be your only option.

    As long as you have active member base, content will continuously flow in your forum. You also need a very good number of members on your forum to get the discussion going. These days it is really hard to keep members on your forum. Unless you have some reward system, people will not stay around.

    Post exchanges and some paid methods can keep the content flowing. In fact, it's never an issue. Instead, the problems are mostly involving traffic.

    Anyway, note that SEO is massively tougher than in the past, if not impossible.

    That’s the key – keeping your forum active or at least having a semblance of activity by the replies if there are no new threads. And to be assured of such, your forum should have support from people close to you or from paid content provider. That’s an investment you need when your forum is lethargic with the posts particularly if you don’t have regular posters that are good writers. And if you don’t have to the budget to spend for paying people then you can do it yourself by creating threads and making posts.
