Getting more activity by encouraging shares and participation

[Shawn Gossman]

The Forum Showcase feature on this forum allows you to create a topic dedicated to showcasing your forum.

You can visit the topic daily to reply with an update on the progress of your forum's growth and what events are going on.

The idea and concept of such a section is to promote participating and sharing on Forum Admin Forum.

Any niche can used this tactic in some way or another.

A gaming forum could create a section for members to post gameplay progress.

A fitness forum could encourage members to post weight loss progress.

An off-topic forum could have many different types of progress-sharing sections.

In the end, these sections are meant to give the forum member the ability to talk about their accomplishments. This encourages growth and activity on your forum.

How do you feel about this method? How are you using it on your own community?

It is nice to have a feature like this. Helpful in most cases.

I agree.

People like to talk about themselves.

It's good to create a feature to allow them to showcase themselves.

Make them feel like it's accepted on the forum.

What sort of ways would you use this on your own forum, Dilip?

Not into a marketing forum yet. I know that there is a lot of money involved in digital marketing and related niche. But I prefer the old calm way.

If I were to offer a showcase, I would choose one for blogs.

Nothing wrong with that.

Blogs are great!

I post on two blogs every single day.

I really enjoy blogging
