Important Update from the Founder: After a year of growth, changes are coming to Discussion Bucks. Read the full announcement here.
I think a forum could be a good source of income if you know how to diversify your time because I see you are always present so may at least reduce little time of PTP for your own website.I have never thought about this before because I do not have the skill to run a forum and I doubt I will have enough time to do so.
You are not late, consider create a new one on 2025. You have experience so others are small details to handle over the time.To be honest, i have never for once thought of creating my own forum site.
I'm currently a community owner and it's a passion of mine along with a hobby. I've been building websites since I was a teenager.For real l have thought of creating my forum website not for the sake of money but for the love of the forums l must say.
Yes, that's very true if you manage to create an active community that get a lot of traffic, you will start getting advertisers or even earn from ad networks. However, running a community is a difficult work, it is also expensive.I’m focused on building a good community, the money will eventually come.
It can be expensive depending on what add ons you’re purchasing for your software and how much your spending on the design, etc.Yes, that's very true if you manage to create an active community that get a lot of traffic, you will start getting advertisers or even earn from ad networks.

If you are using premium software with a lot of add ons, youi might have to spend a lot of money to build a community. I use open source with no paid theme or paid add ons, so what ever I make is mine to keep it. Even a $20 per month income is good for me.It can be expensive depending on what add ons you’re purchasing for your software and how much your spending on the design, etc.
However, you’re right once it starts getting good traffic, you’ll eventually start making your money back.
