Do I need capital to start a forum?

[Bethel Victor]

You definitely need capital to start a forum, except you want to run the forum on social media pages, and do advert organically, else you need capital to start. First thing to consider before you start is a website, and that would cost you some amount, another important thing you need to do is marketing, that would also cost you, finally you need to set out some amount to pay at least for the first time, before you start making from it.

Starting a forum is never a day's job.
It requires alot of capital invested into it at first. One would need to spend time, energy and alot of resources (including money,) before it would be profitable.

Let us first start from building your website/platform. Because you have a laptop does not turn you into an app or website developer, you will start spending money from there, you will still have to be pay people that will be moderating the forum for you because you can't do everything yourself. So yes, you will need enough capital to start a your forum platform

Nowadays you do not need all of this, no development team, no hire from Upwork no all of that, there are ready softwares for forum making. May later when community grows up then at this specific time you need to hire staff for money.

For our enterprises to get started, we need finance.
Even if you obtain the necessary tools, you won't be the only person running the forum.
People need to be aware of it so they can assist you in maximizing your returns.

Forum is not something that anyone can just go into because creating a website isn't something that's that cheap these days and also you shouldn't expect much profit at the earliest stage of running the forum.
