How to hire forum posters

Hi guys

I need a team of posters to post on my currency trading forum. The thing is I don't have PayPal account since the country is not in their signup list. All i can pay is e-gold, moneybookers or credit card, $0.1/post and $0.15/thread. But no matter how many forums I ask, no body seems to be interested.

Now i think the only way to get the posters is to PM them directly at other currency trading forums. But i'm always having problems luring strangers to believe me. My forum is not small at all, with 1600 members (only 5 online at the same time, 0 will post).

Apologize for being stupid, how do you approach complete strangers to post for a pay? Do people think $0.1/post is insulting?

Thanks!
Neo

 

No 0.10 is not insulting.

I saw a few members here post for that rate too.
May be a few are having a problem in the payment options as paypal is not supported.
And people also see the forum category.
The category also decides the rates of the posts.

 

I would like to get into this area as well to promote the growth of my website. Especially after my bad experience with posting services: I bought the Silver Plan from Inb0x.com and they have provided me with nothing but horrible service. They still haven't fulfilled their side of the transaction and they refuse to contact me back. My payment has already been confirmed through Paypal and I will be looking into a cargeback.

What is a typical rate to pay posters? Where can we find them?

 

I will accept e-gold payments. And, I will post on your forum for the quoted price ($0.1/post and $0.15/thread).

I always post with correct spelling and proper grammar. I can PM you links to forums at which I post, if you're interested.

Please PM me if you're interested in my services.

(I would prefer if you paid me paypal by credit-card, but I will accept e-gold.)

Also ... tell us what your forum is about, what you want it to be like etc. It may then "lure in" the right posters

 

i think the problem may not be because of the rate... it may be because of the topic - not everyone can write/post about currency trading.

 

Hit the nail right on the head here.

It's a very niche subject and not that many people are knowledgable on it.

 

I believe so. Many knows how to invest in stock, while a few of them know how to trade in forex. And, maybe none of them knows MetaTrader the trading software.

Thanks for answer guys. I'll try directing my offers to members at other currency trading forums, PM the active posters directly. Hope they accept this offer.

 

I would also reach out to bloggers. Some of the know a lot about this stuff. I have seen financial blogs before from members on both, Blogger Talk and Blog Party.

 

Thanks blogmaster!

I'm eager to develop my forum, because the adsense eCPM is around 10 to 20 bucks. We'll love to hire many posters and bloggers, but you know my paypal problems.

 

Speaking from experience, forex traders make far more from trading. Why earn a pittance posting?

 

I'll post (PM the link).... but honestly...

if you have the secret for making a lot of money... you won't give it away unless you are stupid... of it doesn't work anymore....
or the best one... it doesn't work anymore but you get some quick cash by making others pay for your secrets....

2. If you are a newbie on the trading area..... why will I (suposed to be expert) teach you/ coach you??


don't you think that this is a good reason why people lack of interest?

 

Wow considering they were trying to sell Inbox for $28k(!!) on sitepoint, your testimonial would have come in handy to the bidders!

 

Only exceptional ones do, really. That's why there're thousands including the masters wandering around the forums, looking for a system that works. So since posting on forum is their routine, why not make some extra money from it? I mean just do it normally. 1000 posts will convert to at least $100. It ain't full-time job.

Assuming Blogmaster who has posted around 14,000 posts has been my paid poster. By now he should have made at least $1,400 without ever realised the actual work he has done. I should have double his earning rate since the 1000th post mark, so the earning is $2,800. It's at least better than nothing.

 

are u still looking for forums posters??

 

2,8k is not so little. Maybe in USA it is but in some countries (Croatia for example) that kind of money is considered very good for doing nothing but posting.

p.l.u.r.

 

If posting is your routine, it's like free money.

 

offer incentives, giveaways, contest to your members/posters. I've seen a thread @ WMW on how to get your forum going but can't find the exact thread..

 

i'm looking to host weekly/monthly contests as soon as i've setup the paid posters team. The members like to ask questions but not answering, so the paid posters will be the answerers. It's a match in heaven.

Particularly, i'm looking to contest of 'most helpful member of the week'. I'll just install a voting system for the members that they can click "Thanks" button for the post they like. Members must help each other to gain a point. So it's then self-running. But i can pay only e-gold or moneybookers, unless i have a paypal partner.

i've planned a huge upgrade to the community, especially providing them unique tools for free. They are gonna ask more by then.

 

Did you try forum posting services like forumshock.com?
i'm sure they accept Credit cards and will normally get the appropriate posters for your forum.
