And because of this, I get about 30+ visitors everyday. The only problem is none of them are posting

Introduce a referral program with the help of existing members, offer incentives for a particular number of postings in your forum like giving them a trial product, offering a little free advertising, giving them a link on the main page, allowing them to post their website in the main forum, etc.

You can also start a reward store in the forum where in order to purchase store items members need points and they must post to receive points.
