why fergal is running BAF?

[techsense]

Hey fergal, there are no ads on BAF but still you regularly start competetions and give money to users. Plz tell me how do you earn from BAF. If you don't earn anything then why you're running BAF and giving away money.
PLZ TELL ME.

I think it would have been more prudent if you PMed Fergal, techsense.

Anyway, you might want to view Fergal's posts and comments in this thread: How is forum running business? (http://www.businessadviceforum.com/showthread.php?t=359)

[Fergal]

Hi Techsense, welcome back and what a question you have come back with.

As you correctly say there are no ads on this business and personal success community, so I don't earn any money from it. However, I do very much enjoy posting here and working to build the forum. We are getting busier all the time, which is great.

I feel that I learn a lot from posting here and from helping other members. Hence my time and investment is rewarded but most important of all I enjoy it.

Forums, in general, are not much rewarding. But enjoyable as Fergal said.

Later as BAF grows, he'll get advertisers and other people interested in sponsoring the forums. It takes time to build up, but its worthwhile.

I can see how Fergal is much likely to help others than earn from this forum. But as what Swastik said, in the long run advertisers and sponsors will come knocking in and be interested.
