I want to start my Own TSR - need your help guys!
Hey, so anon cuz I dont wanna seem like a fool in case this is a stupid idea or whatever... so mods, if this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it to another place as long as I remain anon, thank you 
but I've wanting to create a social forum for many years now and I want to create something like TSR but for my own country.
One question is, how would I make money out of it? I understand it's going to be really costly; paying someone to create the forum, then having technicians keep spam away and delete negative comments, etc..
how can I make it a profitable business and get money out of it?
Thank you for your time guys

besides ads? Also, why would companies put their ads on my page if I just started out and not that popular...

Have people subscribe.
can you elaborate on that please?
those are some great ideas thanks but most of them would either find a free alternative or not bother using those features

no ones going to pay money to post on an unestablished forum
even if TSR started doing this they'd have a fraction of their current userbase start paying [and everyone else leave], let alone expecting people to start paying for a new forum

but TSR is really profitable .. they have their own office with people working there
in order for my forum to stand out, I need to do something different.. maybe link it to social media platforms, have people post pics and comment, have a like and unlike button like the old Facebook, have more forum categories, target a larger audience... I dunno to be honest

if tsr switched to a completely subscription based website i doubt they'd make ends meet.....

you could actually start your own forum without that much web knowledge.
tsr looks like they've built [coded] their own forum, most forums on the internet are not coded by their website owners, they pay a monthly fee or something to use/install a forum or they get a free to host forum and use it on their site
Which country is this, incidentally?

I do have a job, thank you very much. It's a side thing I've always wanted to do, like starting my own business.

As a software dev, I don't recommend this, unless you're doing it for fun.
Ideas and platforms that revolve around social interaction have to:
1) Compete with many other very well established platforms
2) Maintain high quality (at either a high cost, or high quality community)
3) Attract users (why would anyone use your TSR over TSR?)
4) Hold out until they have a large enough userbase to monetise
5) By the time they have a large enough userbase, scaling considerations take place, and your costs go up as you start needing to support the growing userbase (eventually, you'll probably end up rolling a custom codebase)
The business model is not linear, and there's no profit until you have enough users to make it a valuable platform.

Its probably best to start making the forum by summer when people have exams so you can get good user activity
great advice, thanks!

Thank you for this. I realize now that I have a lot more to consider
