How much do you spend a month on ads?

[Shawn Gossman]

For those of you who pay for forum advertising, what is your monthly budget?

When I unpause my ad spending tactics, I usually spend around $150 to $200 a month on ads.

I don't spend money advertising my forum. I have done this in the past but I no longer do it. Instead of promoting forums with ads, I like to hire good writers for my forums so that they can create search engine worthy and share worthy content. My spending differs, it could be anywhere from $10 to $50 per month.

I don't buy advertising for my forum. I advertise my forum using free methods such as social media. I also have a pretty cool relationship with a poker site where I'm an affiliate, and they give us a free tournament for our members daily which is also free advertising for my community. They have our banners on their site/poker client too.

I think collaboration is one of the best ways to advertise.

What you're doing is a great example of that.

I don’t spend any money on advertising, as I prefer to use free marketing tactics, such as promoting on social media, Reddit, other forums, Tumblr, and Twitter & Bluesky.

I also promote the games I play, especially when other users are looking for similar ones.
