Could we maybe do an advertisement for advertisement?
I add an advert on my site for your site, and you do so on yours for my site?

You only have 4 members so far lol, so it would do you MUCH greater of a benefit than what it would do for me on my forum if I was to be quite honest with you. If you want good places to advertise, I would suggest trying sites like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc... Even media blogging places where you can reach a vast audience.
There's a good range of bloggers everywhere to some extent. So advertising for you should be easier to start. Obviously someone that takes the time to post daily youtube vids about how their day went or anything like that... They are interested in a form of blogging. There's quite a few people out there that would love to try and go to a forum like that to learn from others as well, so if you can you'd need to try and reach to a collection of members all at the same time to ensure that when people go there, there are other people to interact with.
Especially for a blogger, communication, and interaction with others is their thing. Aside from becoming popular for content, people enjoy feedback and the interaction with others and the responses they get. So that should be KEY for you in deciding how to set up your site. Make it interactive. Huge advice for you.
I'm trying to construct the same thing on my forum except in more of a tech-based atmosphere where others can contribute and learn and share in the language of code, and computer support. Later i'm going to have a Live tech support feed, but that's going to take a good amount of constant activity to make successful. RSS bots will also be in the plan for the future on TLF.
If you look into ideas that are unique, and you build on them and have an idea of what you want to do before your members realize it, you can surprise them, and ask them for any feedback on what they might want to see to make sure that they feel involved as well, and it should spark some motivation for them to be a continual visitor day after day.
Hope that helps a bit.

We actually acquired nearly 50 new members in the past 3 days, activity is starting to really pickup for this forum. Added IP Log History plugin created by Omni from my subscription on MyBB Central as well for extra user security.
