Provide Forum Hosting services:
If you know how to set up a server base, then you can provide forum hosting services.
By doing this, you are allowing less technically savvy people to host their forums on your website.
You can easily find free and excellent forums to install, such as this one. That script allows you to host multiple forums on one site.

How much can I make out of forum hosting services?
This depends on how much you charge customers. You may also choose to provide the forum hosting services for free and simply make money off of advertising revenue (you can use Google AdSense or you can charge people to post advertisements on your site).
