Paid Forum Posters - What you think about it ?

Hi

My second post here :spin:

We all see the new market growing these days: Pain Forum Posters.

I think its quite usefull when dealing with new forums that need to build up fast. I have even seen established forums buying such services.

Of course, you need to check the posters previous work before you hire them, in order to avoid being scamed or your forum ending up with spam posts.

What do you think about it ?

I think paid posters can certainly be a boost to a start up forum, especially if you can find good quality ones like you said.

Not sure about pain forum posters though, starting a forum can bring enough problems without the extra pains :D

From what I have seen to date, (having asking a few for some samples) that it is not very productive and could end up in copyright problems. Many are just copying content from other forums and pasting it in the hiring forum.

Are you looking to start such a business or hiring those already "established"? If you are starting it yourself, start as you would like to continue. Have an interest in the forum's topic, reply to what you know about the topic, start threads relevant to the forum concerned. Don't copy and paste articles from anywhere on planet earth.

More clarification is needed to why you ask :peace:

...We all see the new market growing these days: Pain Forum Posters...I think you're onto a new niche.

Bring on the pain! :bonk:

Back on topic . . .

I'd agree with both Scott and Jan.

Although they can help boost start a new forum and even add content to established ones, you need to be careful who you hire.

Most forums pay for posters in some sense or another. It's the quality of the posts that determines whether it helps or hinders a community's development.

I doubt about success of a forum with paid posters, there is very less chance it will look right like intentional posting.

Maybe you are starting right, But please remember Rome wasnt built in a day, It will take time for every community to pick up. But choosing paid posters is not at all the way, Rather invest in advertising, thinking who right are your actual users.

What i guess fine is to join as much communities you can and then let people know about your community with whom you interact daily, It will work getting good usres, but will take a month to get your users.

Conclude, Paid forum postings dont worth much because more chances they are infringement of somebody else's work or maybe highly irrelevant or just one word answeres, resulting not much interest for other users.

For forum owners that feel the need to use paid posters, it's probably better to hire one or two quality posters who are interested in the topic, than to buy a package from one of the paid posting services.

I must confess to some sort of vested interest, as I do do a bit of paid posting myself. It's interesting, and it puts money in the PayPal acct for books.
