Adding forum to website?
Well today I have been having one of those days with a ton of roadblocks but I can see progress so I am kind of able to shrug most of it off. I spent a bunch of time waiting on responses on hold or chatting with customer support and got to thinking that it would be great to have a Pole Dance Forum for people to go to and discuss things related to articles on my blog or things they want to see on the blog.
I know it might not happen today or even this week but I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this and if so could you give me tips. Is there a plug in that will do this and is there a way to monetize it?
I am thinking that will help me draw some traffic to the website. I also wanted it to be a place where I could refer my pole dance friends so we could talk about all kinds of stuff and then they could refer their friends and so on. I have been thinking about printing up some business cards and handing them out when my pole friends ask for my phone number or email address. It would be nice if they included a place for us to get together and talk.
Pole dancers have their own vocabulary and we totally understand things that few others do so it would be nice to have a community where we could gather online and chat about things. I just have no idea how to start it, how to monetize it or how to link it with my website.
Thanks!
At least today when I was waiting I spent time thinking of new ideas even though I was not able to get everything I wanted done. Well the day is not over after pole class I am sure I will need some down time so I can write and research this new possibility. I have some article ideas that came out of the waiting time too so tonight I might be more productive.

Hi, mama2karsten gave you a good tip where to start. Also, create a membership site.
How to do that...i think you can find this info on warrior forum for free.
Have you thought about setting up a Facebook page for this? That would likely be the quickest... what u want to do sounds perfect for FB format. You may also post pictures
of this as an exercise in pinterest and drive interested persons to your website.
I don't like the Facebook format. I was looking for something a little more private for members. There is a lot of stigma for pole dancers and some people could even loose jobs if they used their Facebook profile to join a site that talks about pole.
Even if you are considering something private, this is the internet. There is nothing as private as we think it is. Somebody can always come in pretense as a pole dancer. So, I don't know how you would control the privacy setting of your forum. Facebook is even better because you can form a closed group and you have to approve those who wants to become members or you have to invite them to become members. For the forum, I'm not sure if this can be done. Please let me know if you find out. Thanks.

I also wanted to do the same thing in my website. It is for teachers hangout so I added a forum to my website using simple press. You can check it on youtube (How to add forum on WordPress website). There are several but simple-press was the easiest plug-in I found. The forum can be created for members only who join the forum. They have to sign up with a username and password. I still don't know much about how it goes. I just did it last week and I am still learning. if ever you use it, please let me know some feedbacks. I think the website itself will be the monetizing avenue although this could also be talked about in the forum.
