Paid to post services

Here is something interesting I found out these days.

There are many sites out there offering posts for a fee.

It looks like a very good promotion method, especially for new enstablished forums.

Here are some sites offering paid posts :

http://www.sitebuildup.com/

http://paidposts.com/

http://www.forumelves.com/

http://www.forumlaunch.com/

Nice resources there.

I agree it is a very good way to kick start a forum, if you have some money ofcourse :)

But do not expect much from these services, as they are post machines, and they are not posting quallity stuff

I will agree that they are post machines, and they will not post quallity posts, but you have to use them if you want to start with an 'active forum'

This is true. You can't start with an empty forum, except if you have many friends that like forums :)

For those who are interested, I just found a new one which seems to have the best prices : www.forumlaunch.net

well just thought id tell you i own forumlaunch.net, and the reason why my prices are so cheap for now is to beat off competition.

any way im looking for more posters as you can see by lookig at this thread.

Just found another paid to post service.

It is http://www.postonmyforum.com/

There are so many of them now!  I hope these sites don't degrade forums as a whole. 

pssh...if your going to hire someone to post, whynot just use a forum AI bot, and save the rest of the money and by modifications for the forum software?

What is an AI bot as i have never heard of these?

AI = artificial intelligence

I don't think we have to worry about that. Paid to post services will only be used to kick start new forums, after spending quite some money on posts and your new forum is still not getting new members I think you would stop the whole forum thing. It would be stupid to have a forum run on paid posters entirely...

Here's another paid forum-post service with a x-mass special at the moment: http://www.forum-leap.com/

That is true.  As a whole I have found that posting services are very expensive.  I would rather go directly to people who wish to pay to post.  You can find posters for as little as 5-6 cents.

Paid to post services are great for a jumpstart, just don't use them too much that your forum is filled with posts from paid posters.

Yeah.. I agree. It's like i have a party . but those coming guys are not invited and not important at all . lol...

i still dont see the point. i could convince 20 ppl to post on my site before i could convince myself to pay someone to do it. waste of money.

If you really can convince 20 ppl to post to an empty forum then you really don't need paid post services. But for the rest it is allways a good way to start up.

i cant even remember how i found this site now. but whatever method it was, it was convincing enough to keep me active. the contests kept me active at first, but then i became a mod, and now im a lot more dedicated. credits dont mean as much anymore.

i think i'm going to consider paid to post service soon since i dont have 20 people to help me post on my new forum . lol ...

Let me know when, I'm sure we can work somthing out ;)

Okay .. do you have female members ? Cos my forum is a girly one. It's about make up and body care stuff. and how do you measure the quality of the post they made ?

Paid posting is a problem when you have a very niche forum.

Paid posters don't have the knowledge to make quallity posts and they start posting junk posts.

You should consider that before paying, or at least ask them if they can post in your site.

No problem! And about the quality of the posts: the client has the last word in that, but we do encourage the posters to post high quality by linking their payout directly to the clients verdict.

hmm i have thought about using services like these before. I stil havent sdecided if its a good idea or not. (I see about 100 posts/75 threads cost like $30...)

Well I just discovered WebDigity today and of course I have immediately gravitated toward the threads of interest to me.

One paid postign service not mentioned in this thread is the one I own - www.Inb0x.com.

Using the freelance writer service from www.PaidPostingTools.com I am able to send writers to nearly any niche and accomplish tremendous results. These are not one-liner posts, but well constructed and thoughtful additions to the conversation.

If you are still considering a paid posting service please consider mine.

Yeah, you do need some paid posters to boost up your forum as not many people would join a forum which is EMPTY.

Yes some of them take a long time to post too. Had one company take 2 months to do 100 posts lol

That's ridicoulous. I make 100 posts per week (at least) in my own forum, and I am a very busy man :P

Why don't we all help each other out. Just sign up and post a number of topics just to help that persons forum take off. Like mine lol.

That would be ideal, but you know this world is not so nice :)

And after all most people don't even have time to post to their own forums....

Yes I think all (working) people doesn't have the time to post on more than one forum...

It was just an idea for those who do have time.

Some time (a lot) has passed since I have visted this thread last - I would like to mention that I sold Inb0x long ago, but that I do still offer posting services at:

www.GetForumPosts.com - for forum posting

and

www.GetBlogPosts.com - for blog posts and comments

Anyone interested in discussing the subject of Paid Posting should keep in mind that this is by no means a silver bullet. As another person in this thread mentioned for some very niche forums it is difficult to match writers to the subject. This will be the case across the general population as well - the more niche your subject the less likely people will be able to post to your forum.

I?ve recently started a very niche community myself.  I had signed up with PayPerPost.com hoping to get a few targeted writers interested enough to continue writing in the community.  You see I decided to have them write a review on their website / blog but also create a profile on my community and write an introduction post about them.  Not such a good idea in the long run since none of them have been back to date.

I did however decide that I?d reach out to other community members from other communities.  Our markets may be the same but we go about our services entirely different so I didn?t feel as though I was impeding.

Just this morning I posted a ?Help Wanted? posting on the forum I belong to and I?ve already had 12 interested people who understand they have to create an account on my community and will be paid for each post they write on their new community profile up to a certain amount of posts per month.

Not only am I utilizing my direct target market to promote to others in the same target market but I have also picked up 12 or so new community members.

Disclaimer: I don?t suggest spamming a community.  Creating a profile, spamming and leaving isn?t going to gain you any favors.  Trash talking or saying your service is better then the other sites isn?t going to help you either.

Anyways, have fun!
