    Hey everybody,I have just created a new forum which is designed to offer support to people who want to lose weight drastically.  This is an open space type of forum because we aim to offer sustainability to its members so that they are able to market themselves and their success stories.  My problem is how to get like-minded people to join.  I would appreciate some brainstorming with you.Thanks

    You’ll probably need to jump start things, so I’d look to advertise…everything from Google Adwords to Facebook to LinkedIn. I’d also look at traditional advertising, too.

    You’ll also want to make sure you do SEO, including having a blog. 

    Tweet out (and share through FB) some of the best threads, driving traffic back to the forum.

    Consider adding a leaderboard, too. Seems to get people active! ;)

    @RichThanks for the great tips. Google Adwords are really dear so I’ve opted for Facebook.  SEO is absolutely important so I am doing some blogging using some of the keywords and the alexa ranking is really doing well.

    Leaderboard means starting a group here?

    Haver a happy and peaceful Easter celebrationsElizabeth

    Sorry, didn’t see your response at first…you have to use the @rich-brooks handle.

    You don’t have to start a group here to be on the leaderboard. In fact, unlike LI you can’t start a group here. You just have to be active.

    I’d also look to join different online forums about weight loss and establish your credibility and expertise. That won’t happen overnight, so they may have some banner ad opportunities for you as well.
