Using Forum Posting Services To Market Your Forum
Monday, October 13th, 2008

Sometimes we need to jump start our forums buy paying forum posters to post some threads and replies. It is usually hard to find good forum posters for particular niches. Here are some tips that I have learned when looking for forum posters:

Don’t Use Mass Forum Posting Services

There are services out there (on DP and elsewhere) that offer mass forum postings. They usually have 10 or so forum posters on their payroll and will send them to post on your forum. They are usually not trained in your niche and will not produce quality posts for you.

Find 10 Good Individuals

Post a thread on DP or elsewhere mentioning that you are looking for forum poster in your particular niche and you are willing to pay certain amount/post. Other members will reply and you can always choose the ones that you think are qualified to post. This way you get much better quality posts and know every forum poster by person.

Be Willing To Pay Well

The amount of pay per post would be different for different niches. A movie forum pay/post should cost much less than a cancer forum pay/post. But If you want quality posts you should be willing to pay for it. Usually $0.25/post is a good average. I have paid as low as $0.10/post and as high as $1.00/post before.

Continue The Service Until Forum Is Popular

Have the forum posters post in your forum until it becomes popular with natural posters. If you buy the posting service for a week from 10 different people each posting 50 posts, you have more content by the end of the week. However after those 7 days the forum will go back to being dead and new natural members will not be generated. So hire 5 to 10 posters and have them post for at least a month.
