How do you earn from your forum?

[jcodemasters]

Hello,

You can sell link space, either on your own or through sites such as Bidvertiser and Linkworth. You can sell banner ad space as well.

I've only started selling link space on my own, and have had a little bit of success.

and adbrite

Or you can be your own agency and get 100% of the profits. Another way is to make a premium subscriptions that gives users access to other forums. And encourage donating

google, yahoo. msn ad's not to mention the 20 or 30 other types of ads like clickser not sure on the spelling..

you can sell banner links, or text links to other webmasters..

you can offer a service, like this page I've worked on

vBulletin Search Engine Services
this may seem like a low price, but every dollar counts ;)

there are many ways to earn $ from your site, be creative and offer a service that others want ;)

Get tons of traffic and sell ad banner and link space. Or use Adsense, YPN, or the many different ad programs out there.
