What are Private Forums?

Forums are one of the most underrated blogging tools. Many bloggers don’t use them, but we’ve found them to be a valuable source of traffic, ideas, and feedback.

While the Internet is populated with free forums, there is also the possibility to create a private one where members need to pay a single or recurring fee to join.

SEO Blackhat charges $100 monthly from its members, and they have thousands of them. Obviously in order to charge such a price for a forum membership you need to provide real value for the members (e.g., secret techniques, tools, and so on).


Performancing also launched a private forum recently, focused on the networking aspect. It is called The Hive, and the monthly cost is $10.


These are just two examples. There are many possibilities to create a private and profitable forum, you just need to find an appealing angle that will make it worth for the members.
