I've always been good at creating and editing forums. However I can't seem to draw in many people. How do I get more people to join without spamming other places? I do not have much money to spend on advertisements. I'm willing to spend a little but not over the top.

I'm not sure what genre of forums you have, but my best suggestion is content. Normally people who start forums are asking questions. I normally find and use forums when I'm looking for an answer, I will search google for my question in qoutes to find others that have asked that question. Example "How do I find widgets?" would be my search on google.
So my suggestion is go to a search engine and search for common parts of a question like "How do I" "Where can I find" or even "What". Then ask those questions in your forums, it would be good if the title of that page of the forum was the question as well.
Then once you have created the topics. Create links to those topic pages. What will happen is each link to that URL is a vote for that URL. Search engines will deem that page as important and add it to thier index. The anchor text ( clickable text ) of the links to your pages should be the same as the topics. If you need help finding places to add links please see http://www.linkingexperts.com . Hope this helps.

Small Business Marketing Strategy: Target the up-and-coming search engines
While Google still rules the roost when it comes to Internet search engines, and Yahoo is firmly entrenched in second spot, a number of new start-ups are hoping to give them a run for their money. And a good small business marketing strategy would be to check them out and see how you can make them work for your site!
Some of the new up-and-comers include:
Powerset (www.powerset.com): A "natural language" search engine
Hakia (www.hakia.com): A "meaning-based" search engine
Wikia(www.wikia.com): A "community-based" search engine
ChaCha(www.chacha.com): A "social networking-based" search engine
Snap (www.snap.com): A search engine that offers visual previews
It's a smart small business marketing strategy to continue optimizing for the Google, Yahoo, and MSN search engines as they are by far and away the most popular -- but niche search engines could provide new opportunities to reach your market. Be sure to check them out!

- Posting in others forums and specially related forums can help you to get more person.
- submit to directories,
- ezine marketing
- you can hire person to post in forum with 0.05$/post, announce this in many forum and start by determining your budget for that.
