    It sure can be. I've seen forum admins that make a nice amount of Premium. Though like every thing else on you forum it has to do with activity on you forum. No activity No Premium members.

    Its is, but my main source of income has been through selling adspace. As for premium I just had only one person purchase it.

    It's one of the slowest methods for forum income. You can earn much more with ads and CPA programs. However, you can draw people into your forum using Premium membership as people rather work for it than pay, if you allow that option. Of course this depends on the type of forum.

    When the people buying actually get something for it that is decent and it does not cost that much. Also the forums that get the most donations have to have a popular genre and have alot of posting members,
