Utah Fishkeepers

What makes a Utah Fishkeeper different than a Montana Fishkeeper ?
Your site is only about Utah Fish Keeping.
Maybe you should contact Fish Enthusiast Clubs across Utah ?
What about putting up signs at fish stores ?

I am putting flyers at fish sores. My site got linked on the GSLAS and my site offers local fishkeeping discussion.

Keep at it, don't get discouraged.

Self-motivation is one of the biggest obstacles to overcome. You enjoy your topic, you seem to enjoy fish... share any and all information you have on the subject. Even if you feel at times you are only talking to yourself... You never know who might be reading, or what might trigger them to register and take part in the discussion.

Talk about the fish stores.
Have threads about good deals.
Is there a way to sell some fish online ? Is that legal ?

 

[CarpCharacin]

Yes I can sell fish online. I have 2 empty 40 gallon tanks that I got in august because I am going to start breeding fish. I have posted about fish club events such as auctions also.

I don't want my site to fail. Will it?

Probably, unless you grow up a little and take on board most of what has been suggested here.
You've been given advice from decent admins, learn from it.

I'll answer your question with a question...

Your site after 2 years...


A new site that is 3 months old...


What do you think?

 

[CarpCharacin]

How can someone post 33000 messages in 3 months? I wish my site had that many posts.

 

[Dakota Storm]

They're not all posted by one person. That site has 83 members, you have what, 4?

I have 25 members.

 

[Dakota Storm]

I have 25 members.

That don't post.

 

[CarpCharacin]

That don't post.

but how do I get my members to post?

This has been rehashed a hundred times and you just don't listen...

It all starts with YOU starting threads that engage your community and attracts new members.

That means constantly, all day, every day. Not start a couple of threads here and there whenever you think you should.

 

[CarpCharacin]

I have been starting threads every day.

[CarpCharacin]

I can't afford to be on my site 12 hours a day.

No you don't, you skip days hear and there constantly. The threads you started today are dupe threads you already started, asking the same stuff in different words.

Water changes:
Old, http://www.utahfishkeepers.us/threads/water-changes.131/
New, http://www.utahfishkeepers.us/threads/python-water-chnager-vs-aqueon-water-chnager.138/

Disease:
Old, http://www.utahfishkeepers.us/threads/my-favorite-ich-treatment.124/
New, http://www.utahfishkeepers.us/threads/what-do-you-use-to-treat-fungus.139/

I applaude you for trying, but any members will find a site with such little content on it, having multiple threads asking the same stuff, confusing and amateurish, and quickly press the X or back button in their browser.

But you can be on other sites asking the same thing 12+ hours a day.
