Can a forum be profitable enough to make decent PT money?
 

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but the forum would not allow me to post a thread where I thought this thread should have been.

Hello. :)

I have what I think would be a GREAT idea for a forum. I could see LOTS of local advertisers wanting to advertise on it - as I bet all of you think that about your forums. But in this instance, people are incredibly passionate about the topic. And if it would work locally, I am sure it could be applied nationally.

I am laid off and have LOTS of time to devote to this. In fact, I may choose never to go back to work. So with that said, can forums eventually make enough money to, say, be equal to part time job money?

Given time, I would love to make money from a forum.

What do you think is reasonable?
