My first bit of advice is to be extremely certain that making the forum is a good idea. Forums require a lot of server resources, manpower, etc. If you've found a suitable niche, though, then by all means - go for it! I recommend you purchase a vBulletin license for the forum itself, in addition to a suitable premium style/theme. Find a few friends/colleagues who are ready and willing to help you build up the first several hundred posts and consider hiring a few freelancers to post once you get a bit of genuine activity going. You need to think of a forum like a fire... you need the fireplace and the matches first (the server, the software), then you need some kindling (your friends and colleagues who will help you build up a post count), and then once the fire is going, the logs will take it from there (logs are your genuine members). Much like a fire, you'll need someone to keep watch 24/7 to prevent accidents and problematic scenarios. If you need a webhost, I recommend DreamHost... use the promo code KOVICH when signing up for $50.00 off! Hello, Dipak!

I do not wish to sell anything online. revenue shall be generated through advertising alone. I have researched and found a niche for the above mentioned service. I am a student and can't invest much. How should I go about it? I want to start a discussion forum wherein people will post their queries and answers.

People infact take product feeds from big companies and resell on their website. Nice concept though ! The concept of reselling is very prominent these days.

Some configurations are confusing so asking for an expert help is best rather than making mistakes and learning them in the hard way. Setting up an e commerce website is a bit tedious.

But you have given some great startup advice. If I may be so bold I have tried a few different stores. I have found that I like cubecart the best. It is easy to run and best of all you can get a free version. ;) Hi,
