Get Paid To Post on Forums - Is It Really Worth It?

Lately, there's been a few people that have asked about getting paid to post on forums. If you're a frequent user on DP then this is most likely nothing new to you as there are forum posting jobs posted everyday on there. But the question is - Is it really worth it to spend your time doing this for cents per post? In a short answer, no, it's not really worth it. But lets talk about it for a bit in case you decide to do this in your spare time for some extra money.

Why Will They Pay Me To Post?

Getting a new forum kicked off can be quite difficult. There are many online forums where there's already dedicated members. So why would someone want to be a part of this new forum when there is practically no users, posts, or any activity for that matter? This brand new forum needs some activity to get it kicked off. The owners of these new message boards are willing to pay you to become an active member and make posts to fill up the boards so they can gain more popularity and members. There is obviously going to be some rules, so you can't just sign up and spam the boards with posts with no value. The owners ask that you post real threads and genuine replies.

So What's The Pay Like?

I believe the cheaps will pay about 2 or 3 cents per post. That's obviously a rip off. You can find lots of forum owners on DP offering posting jobs that range from 10 to 20 cents per post. 10 cents is about average but the nice guys will pay more. But like I said, there will sometimes be rules. For example: "20 cents per post but you are limited to 50 posts per day" or something along those lines.
These types of jobs do not pay very well as you can see, but they might come in handy if you have some spare time and want to make a few extra bucks. But I strongly urge you to spend your valuable time wisely and make money using other ways. There's lots! Don't depend on these small jobs.
