Get Paid To Post In Forums II
Sunday, August 19, 2007
I wrote a post last month about forums that pay you to post. After writing it I was intrigued to find more forums that pay. So far I have found two more forums that are noteworthy which I have been spending a lot of time on.
CraZoo pays .02 for a new thread and .015 per post. They also pay you .002 every time your referrals post. They have 2,945 active members and over 8,000 threads. The forum topics are general: sports, movies, technology, etc. The minimum payout is $10.00.
Adept Web Community is new but its one of my favorite forums to post on. They only started last month but they already have 178 members. The amount you get paid per post isn't clear, but it seems to average around .03. So far I have made 16 posts and I have .54. Their minimum payout is only $3.00, via pay pal.
After signing up on Adept Web Community you have to go to your user control panel, click "group memberships" and add the group "paid users" to get paid for your posts.
Don't expect to make a fortune doing this. It can be more time consuming than it seems, but it's still a fun way to earn a few extra bucks.

Become a Hired Forum Writer
Thursday, August 2, 2007
Forumshock.com is looking for new forum writers for their site. They sell posts in bulk to forums looking for a traffic boost. If you become a hired writer, you will be contacted when they have a forum looking for posts. They will ask you to write between 20-70 posts on the forum at .15-.20 a post depending on the quality.
You can apply on their job opportunities page. Not everyone who applies will be contacted for a job. They have a quality standard and they only want people who show good writing skills.
One good thing about Forum Shock is that the packages they sell have a small amount of writers (i.e. 1000 posts, 20 members). That means that instead of signing up to dozens of sites, posting one or two comments on each, you can spend an hour or two on a single site. It's like being paid for being part of a community. It also cuts down significantly on time spent.
Another plus to working for Forum Shock is that they don't hire hundreds of writers. That means you won't have to compete for writing opportunities or wait weeks to finally get an opportunity.
This seems like a great way to make money online. Who doesn't want to be paid to chat online?
If you are interested in more ways to make money posting on forums, please check out my article about getting paid to post on forums.
Writing on a forum is a great way to get college and training money to complete a degree or further your education. While free money may sound dubious, there are plenty of legitimate ways to make money for women entrepreneurs or to pay for college.

Get Paid to Post In Forums
Friday, July 6, 2007
I've been hearing a lot about forums that pay you to post lately. I did some research on various blogs and I see two forums getting good reviews. The first one, digital point forums, is good because it's been around for a long time and has many active members (#142 on Alexa). You get paid when you open a new topic and someone clicks on the ads on that page.
Here is a FAQ on their revenue sharing:

MoneyTalkPro is another forum that pays to post. They work on a point system - 4 points for each regular post and 10 points for promotional posts. Every point is worth $.005 each. Obviously you're going to need some dedication to make it work. I'm going to give the boards a try and i'll let you know how it works.

A word of advice: Just because these sites pay doesn't mean they pay good. I would only post in these forums if I were looking to post in a forum anyway, but I wouldn't go to these forums with the goal of having a second income. If you tried hard enough you might be able to make $2-$3 an hour, but you would have to work like crazy. A good idea might be to think of a good conversation starter and begin a new thread instead of posting like a madman.
