Granted, my site has been open only for a few weeks. But I'm having a bit of trouble growing it. This is a common complaint among many website/forum owners, I know.
It's a regional board, for residents of the Mahoning Valley, which covers much of NE Ohio and NW Pennsylvania in the US. I have 14 members so far, only 3 of which have even posted on the forum. I should also point out that we have a FB page, a twitter account with a few followers, etc.
I have asked for suggestions - what do they want to see on the forum? What kind of features, topics, etc. Only one has replied.
I post what I think are good topics, then tweet it and add it to Facebook. Both draws in alot of visitors who do read the topics. But they don't join and don't post.
What would you do in a situation like this? Opinions please.
And be nice.
