12.  Forum Posting Service



Many website owners are looking for people that can post in their forums. They do this to help their forum grow and so it looks active and popular. This encourages members to

 

come back more frequently.

 

In a previous method, I showed you where and how to make money by posting in forums yourself and getting paid directly. That method works great for smaller websites who are only looking to hire a couple of people, but sometimes, they want to hire many people at one time, so hiring a lot of individual forum posters is a bit of a hassle and time-consuming.

 

This is where a forum posting service can come in handy. If you are able to pool together a team of 3-5 good forum posters, you will then be able to offer a "one-stop" solution where the forum owner will simply pay you and you take care of managing and paying your other team members.

 

The advantage for forum owners to use your service is that it can save them a lot of time and money because you can provide bulk discounts.

 

Your team will generally have to create unique, thought- provoking and authentic posts and replies on your clients forum.

 

In order to start your own forum posting service, here are some steps you can take:

 

●   Create a website that lists your services and research your competitors. Some good examples of established sites that you can model are Paid Forum Posting and Forums First.

 

You should check out these websites and have a look at their posting plans. Compare how many posts that are offering and at what prices. As you begin, you may want to consider having lower prices until you start to become

 

more established.

 

However, you still want to make sure you can make a small profit especially if you will be hiring other writers to help you with your business.

 

●   You can find forum posters to hire on any of the big freelancing sites out there such as Freelancer.com, Guru.com, Upwork.com, etc.

 

●   Another great place to not only find workers but also to advertise your services is on Fiverr.com.

 

You will need to occasionally check the work of your team to make sure they are doing a good job and actually earning their money. A couple things you will want to keep an eye on are quality, grammar, spelling as well as duplicate content.

 

●   You can approach webmasters with forums that look inactive and small and ask if they need your services. You could even offer them free sample postings. You should also ask forum owners what posting services they have used in the past, which ones they liked and most importantly, why they liked them more than others.

 

●   Consider posting for free at first. As your service will be brand-new you aren't going to have a lot of reputation in the marketplace. You should consider giving away some of your smaller packages away possibly in exchange for testimonials.

 

●   Sign up with the big webmaster forums to advertise your forum posting plans. You could start out by giving 1 of your plans away each day to build up some credibility and to get some reviews.

 

How much can you make from running your own forum posting service?

 

How much you can make will mostly depend on what you will charge your clients and how much you have decided to pay your workers, but you could easily make $100/day by doing this after getting enough clients.
