If you get a lot of traffic because you have the perfect "hook," it very well could be profitable. For instance, Google ads help but won't make you independently wealthy. Another way to make money is to have a unique site that is on a certain subject and is very well put together, people want to belong to it, it might be "private," and members have to pay a fee to join.

Hi, seahippie!

The answer above by Wondergirl is very insightful and true!

There's also quite a bit of information that you'll be able to find on links that are on the following search.

Is there a particular type of forum that you're wanting to start, please?

Thanks!
