First off, sorry for the lack of updates.  Last weekend was my birthday so I was pretty busy celebrating.  Thanks to everyone that wished me a Happy B-Day!

As mentioned a few posts ago, I purchased Fuzion Poker on PAW.  The last few days I have been working hard on trying to build up the forum and have really realized that trying to get a forum going is a lot of work!  The forum had around 3000 members when I received it, but most of them are from a while ago, so I am trying to get them to come back and post.  My main goal with the site is to build it up into a fun little community where we have a bunch of special events for all of the members.  I don’t really expect it to make any money for a while, but if it does sooner then that is great too.

My plans so far are to offer a bunch of prizes and rewards to the posters on the site to get some of them back posting again.  Some things I am doing to do this, is by making a minimum number of posts so that members can see all the special site promotions.  I will run a few freerolls (any affiliate managers looking to help out, let me know), then eventually try to get a league going.  There are a few good members there already that are posting quite a bit, so IMO it is off to a decent start.

Unfortunately this means that I have spent countless hours working all week (18 hour days) and am currently averaging only 4 hours of sleep per night.  I knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but I like the challenge.  If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them!

I am also going to have to put a little work into the SEO for the site to try and get it ranking a lot better.  I will keep you posted on how things are working out with the forum and think this will be a great case study.
