What's the going rate to get someone to post in forums for you?

I am thinking of outsourcing some work, but not sure what to expect.

I have tried several posting services and wasnt happy with any of them, Broken english, 5 word posts, way off topic, etc. I would never use a posting service again, instead I will use adwords to drive traffic to the site and wait for users to create the content and encourage posting through contests and other incentives.

Yes. I think with forums it really is a case of Build it and they will come. Otherwise what's the point, as it's never going to be successful anyway?

Agreed. The only way to go is to get a few good users (real ones)... rally around them, foster a community spirit and...

Successful community building is never a passive endeavor. On the contrary, it requires lots of blood, sweat and tears... in the form of admin and moderator participation. The launch period is pretty labor intensive, and while the long term reward is a loyal community and repeat traffic with high stickiness factors... that also means visitor blindness to traditional site monetization methods such as AdSense.

It's tough to build a successful forum, and it's tough to monetize it afterward. More often than not, the most successful online communities are built based on passion by the early users. Those early adopters are rarely paid for their participation.

I agree with that, but saying that if you build it they will come doesn't mean sitting back and waiting. If you build a forum well and let people know that it's there, they will come, even if it takes a while. But when they come they have to see real posts, from real people who are genuinely interested in or know a subject. A forum full of paid posters is not really a forum at all. For it to be a true forum there has to be more than just the shape of a forum. There has to be genuine interchange such as we get on here, and members helping one another or seeking information. It has to feel like a home that members will want to return to, not a railway station full of strangers who are obviously merely passing through.

I have forums and people have been coming to them for years and pitching in with graphics and doing admin stuff. It's like I know them.

HAHAHAHA! Damn near pissed myself.

The mods removed the original post, too bad...

**Acro** · 02-13-2009, 08:56 PM

It's ironic that in a thread asking for cheap labor (forum posts) there is one such great sample of outsourced ingenuity

Also, note the keyword relativity, "Ford escort" and "Asian escorts".
