How much money can you make from discourse forum?

I think profit from forum comes down to a few things now

  1. Community size
  2. Affiliates. You can’t really make a living from adsense money is to low
  3. Time you spend on community forum management

This is the best formula I could think of so far

Community Size divide by 2% conversion rate X Affiliates Commission divide by the time spent working on the forum = Profit - Hosting Fee = Profit Margin

If you we’re making money from adsense for example at the moment for every 1,202 adsense views I get I make £1.95. If 10,000 people visit my forum a day. I make £16.22 x 30 days = £486.68 per month

If you have 10,000 people visiting forum a day. How much management time would
that require? I don’t know?

I don’t think there be many people making a full time living from their discourse forum.
Apart from hosting companies or web companies.

But if discourse makes a very good self automated community with very little community management time to maintain the forum. then that would be really good!
