Moneymaking Online - Become a forum poster | 29 January 2008 |
One good way to make money online is to become a forum poster. Most people who regularly use the Internet are familiar with online forums. Forums, also known as message boards, are places where people go to leave and reply to messages about particular subjects. When you post a message in an online forum, it is there for a lot of other people to see, and these other people can then, in turn, reply to your posts or start new topics, or "threads", of their own. Forums are wonderful places where people with similar interests can discuss their favorite topics or find help with certain topics. Most forums are free to join; you simply register, and then you can post messages or reply to other messages as often as you like.
Forums are also good places to advertise your business or someone else's business - and this is where you can make money online. Many business owners, especially those who have online businesses, need advertising. There are business owners who will hire people to post in forums and mention their businesses. You can do this by either mentioning the business in a post, or using the business' Internet address in your forum "signature". Most forums will let you have a standard signature that includes your name, and also links to certain Internet sites. The forum will save your signature, and every time you post in a forum, your signature will always be at the bottom of your post. Many business owners will pay people a certain amount of money to leave posts in various forums and include the business' link in their signature. Usually you'll be paid after a certain number of posts, and the amount you'll be paid will be decided upon beforehand. You charge a certain amount for each post, usually 10 to 20 cents per post, and are paid after you complete an agreed-upon number of posts. You can make money online this way by working for one business owner, or even better, several business owners. One good way to advertise your services is by simply emailing several business owners who have websites, and offering to post in forums and either mention their businesses in posts, or put their website link in your signature. You can also do an Internet search for business owners who are looking for forum posters. Professional forum posting is fast becoming a popular way for people to make money online, and for businesses to gain more exposure.
Another way to make money online as a forum poster is to work directly for the forum owners. There are people starting new forums every day, and one of the most important things that forum owners need is traffic to their forums. Many people who have just opened up new forums will hire other people to come and post a certain amount of messages in their forums, for a certain length of time. Their goal is to have people start, and engage in, interesting discussions that will hopefully keep people coming back to their forums. Forum owners will pay a certain amount for each post, and one job will usually consist of a number of posts spread out over a certain period of time. There is usually an unlimited amount of new or even veteran forum owners who need this type of help, and the best way to find these types of jobs is to do an Internet search, or advertise your services as a forum poster directly through email or on job-related websites. Though the pay for each forum-posting job can seem small when you are trying to make money online, it can add up rather quickly when you are working for several people or businesses at once. If you are working both for businesses and forum owners, you can most likely make a significant amount of money each week or each month.
