Am starting a forum and want to know how much you can make out of the forum.

Forums are just like any other site. If you are willing to put in the effort and time you can end up making pretty good money. Some topics make more money than others. What topic are you wanting to cover? Some things to think about: Are there affiliates for the niche you want to cover? Are there plenty of people trying to advertise to the niche you are trying to cover? Is there plenty of interest in the topic?

You can do very well with a forum if you put in the work and it can be rewarding in lots of other ways too. There's nothing like building a place for people to meet and share ideas.

Good luck with your forum!

I make more out of my content sites rather than forums. But then my forums aren't really "very" succesful.

I read something about forums being low in CTR's. I have yet to test if that is true or not. Smile

I think it can be true. It also depends on the subject matter. People who work online are less likely to click ads, in my experience. So, a martial arts community has a higher CTR than a phpBB support community. Generally, anyway.
