I am running a forum for students. The forum was initially empty for long time, then i hired forum posters, the forum is having content now. But still activity in the forum is not upto mark. Students are visiting the forum, just reading the posts/threads started by my paid forum posters.
How to encourage them to post? Is revenue sharing model attractive? I will share revenue that generates from adsense with poster, will this work? Any one tried this?

It might encourage some people to post but realistically, I'm a member of a few forums that have rev sharing and I've only made a few cents. But maybe that's because there's so many members on those forums.

If people think they can make money, it might seem like a good incentive for them to participate more. It's worth a shot so you might as well try it.

I have yet to hear of anyone making much money participating in a revenue sharing forum. It probably works out to about 5 cents a post in the best case scenario. If you're making more than this, I'd love to hear what revenue sharing forum you participate in.

I don't think that this typically does work, and I know that there's not much money to be made by it. I would try to offer some type of contest instead, and maybe give a cash prize if you are already going to be spending money on it.
