Bootstrapping the 4-Hour Workweek forum

Written by Rasmus

So as you might have seen in my last post (Lifestyle Design Coach in the making), I have created a 4-Hour Workweek Forum for exchanging ideas and questions.

Now the problem is with all forums that start up is that noone wants to be part of a forum with no other users. So how should I go about this? How do you bootstrap a forum?

Should I create some initial content myself? Currently this is pretty much the only solution I can find? But any other ideas?

Notice that I will answer questions in there myself, so if you need a good kick in the onions or just som inspiration I will be happy to help you.

    Hey Rasmus

    Just finished the book. Great inspiration and have put it straight into action. In fact here’s great little Gmail declutter lifehack which has already saved me having to sift through over 30 emails today: http://zze.st/save-hours-of-time-with-simple-gmail-lifehack/

    How to bootstrap? Well, I should know. It’s the story of my life. I know Ferriss would make sure that a couple of VAs would spread the word and manage the account. Whatever you do, don’t create more and constant work for yourself :)

    I’ll be sure to come back to visit, learn and provide.

    I just signed up, but I don’t think I will be using the forum for much.

    @Ole: Great link, I have actually already a couple of such filters running (except they are not called “once a wk” etc), and sometimes I check it a little too often :)
