What sort of things do you offer your premium members in order to encourage them to donate? Is there something outside the norm which gets them splashing out on premium?

[Fergal]

On Business Advice Forum we offer the following in return for Premium Membership;

• Increased PM Storage
• A red username
• The ability to add signature links straight away
• A free directory listing

It seems to work well and members do find the offer attractive.

I usually don't like having Premium Members, but sometimes it is necessary. I give them permissions:
1. Signature
2. Blue username
3. Free services
I will add some of them on fmSupport.

[MoneyBox]

Typically I offer mine no ads, different user colours and then maybe something useful like an eBook guide.

[Eternal]

I usually offer just a few perks such as,

1. Username Color / Usertitle
2. Increased PM space
3. VIP Lounge

That pretty much covers it I think.

When I was running a forum, it was mainly just a upgraded rank, color for their name, and special hidden boards that only they could access.

While I don't currently have vip rank on my MN9 forum on one of my older ones I had a lounge for VIP members as well as a sleek username color too. In the VIP lounge I would post only exclusive content and VIP members would get updates on the site before they were public.

[Garfiun]

I have a few ideas some of them are -

* Vip access to gaming servers
* A weekly clan mail
* Some clan gear.

Still its early days so need to implement it all now.

I think we dont have to have anything like premium member here. If yo wanna signature, you can purchase it for 50FC and id you wanna larger inbox, I think it´s purchasable as well.

is there any defferenece between VIP members and premium members ? And what are the features of vip ?

[troslim]

I would say that you would give them access to a special part of the forum, for example the part where good methods to make money will be posted or something like that.

[ibrontox12]

For me, i guess i will increase there earning chances and add some cutomizations in their name.

[ramzan00]

I guess if I add premium members system I will let them have more access on all contents.
Then Private Message storage increase
I guess That's I'll do

[Fergal]

I give premium members:
1-A blue username
2- Free services
3-Signature

I feel a bit dumb asking this but how do you go about getting a Premium membership? Are we talking about a premium membership on ForumCoin? Does it cost money?
