Make Money Online with Paid Forum Posting

Forums as a Way to Make Money Online

Forums and message boards - many of us use these on daily basis but how many of you enjoy all the benefits of forums and public bulletin boards. First of all, let's see what advantages forums have. First of all, they allow us to connect with other members, ask questions and improve our knowledge (usually I ask for help on blogging and webmaster forums and I always get what I want). Second of all, with forums you can gain popularity and make use of it - influential forum users get a lot of traffic to links in their signatures and usually have some benefits, while promoting their own sites on public forums freely. And finally, this is the advantage, which is being rarely used, forums is a great source of income - you can earn money by being a paid poster, forum moderator, contribute to the community and get financial rewards from forum owners and sell your signature space (location url or avatar).

I have been working in copywriting and paid forum posting business since 2006. Nowadays this way of earning money online for free is not that popular as it was before but still there are some websites, where you can make money online with forums. This lens is created to showcase all the ways of making money online with forums I know.

Earn Money Online by Selling Forum Avatar Space

How to sell avatar advertising and earn?

Earn money by selling forum avatar spaceNot very long ago I have found a cool way to make money online with your avatar space. Avatads.net gives you an opportunity to make money by selling your avatar on selected forums. This sounds like an awesome offer because personally I have an account on one forum with several hundred posts, so I think that my avatar gets clicked very often. As a forum member, you will be getting money on pay-per-click basis and users receive 30% of total revenue generated by ads in your profile.

If you are a forum owner and would like to make money with you forums by allowing your members to add Avatads.net to their profiles, then you should definitely check out this website. Right now Avatads service is being developed and I heard that admins are willing to add one cool feature - a possibility to sell forum signature space.

Types of Paid Forum Posting Sites

Difference between revenue sharing and paid forum posting

Make money online with forumsBefore I start listing sites, where users earn money by using forums, I have to clarify everything and write some words about two types of sites, which allow us to make money online with forums. There is no official classification or naming for these sites but I call them - paid forum posting service websites and revenue sharing forums, which give money for every new post or thread.

Paid forum posting services - these are the companies, which deal with professional copywriting. They offer forum boosting services (this means that forum owners, who want to spark up the activity on their sites, visit paid forum posting services and order a certain amount of content to be added to their forums, in this case, content is forum posts or threads). So how this works for posters - you register on a site of a paid forum posting service, look through a list of available forums to post on, pick the one you like and start using a sponsored forum, like any other. You write new posts, try to contribute to the community and get paid for every new post you make and every new thread you create.

Revenue sharing forums - these websites have a totally different concept. The owners of these websites are willing to share their revenue and give their users incentives (money, prizes, advertising space) for being active on their sites. These websites don't usually pay a lot of money (just up to 5 cents per post) but still, something is better than nothing. I don't consider these websites to be a waste of time because you receive all the benefits of other forums (you can make new friends, ask questions, get quality answers to your questions) and get cash rewards. As I have told, there is a forum, where I have several thousand posts, I wish I was paid at least two cents for every message I made.

Best Paid Forum Posting Service

Best paid forum posting servicePostLoop.com - one of the newest paid forum posting services and I can tell that this is the best one on the market nowadays. PostLoop is represented as a forum post exchange, where users can post on sponsored forums and earn special points. These points could be used for buying paid forum posting services for your own forum (if you have one) or they could be redeemed for cash.

Depending on your posting skills, your feedback and the forums you have decided to post on - you can receive up to 2 points per sponsored posts. Right now the every point is worth 5 cents and one my friend claims to be making 15 dollars per day by posting on forums with the help of PostLoop.com. Payments are completed via PayPal at a very fast rate - you need to wait just three hours for your cashout request to be processed and the minimum amount needed for a cashout is just 4 dollars.

Where to Find Freelance Forum Posting Jobs?

Websites paying for forum posting

Earn cash with paid forum postingNowadays when paid forum posting is not as popular as it was, finding good freelance forum posting jobs could be a challenge. Personally, when I have a need to earn some money on the web and decide to do some paid forum posting I start looking through various freelance job boards (most of the time micro freelance job boards). Here is a list of sites I use for finding paid forum posting tasks.

MinuteWorkers.com - this is a free freelance job board, where you can make fast money online by completing freelance tasks. They pay money for completing such work - paid forum posting, social bookmarking, surveys, sponsored registrations, ect. Minimum payout is just 2 dollars and money is paid via PayPal/AlertPay.

More sites will be added very soon.
