Paid Forum Poster Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I find work as a paid forum poster
A: Most of the paid forum sites operating from time to time need new posters.  They often advertise on their own websites or post on forums such as Sitepoint..

Q: What skills do I need to be a paid forum poster
A: In no particular order

  • Spare time to post
  • A good grasp of the language of the forum, normally English
  • Good general knowledge.  Posters are required on many different types of forums so a breadth of knowledge is essencial
  • The desire to help the person who's forum you are posting on. 
The last one for me is the most important, anyone can post rubbish on a forum, and many paid posters do, but to help get repeat business you need to care as much the person your posting for as you do about making money.

Q: How much can I earn per post?
A: That depends for which company you work for. Most of the better paid services pay around $0.15 - $0.20 cents a post which is normally for a minimum of 20-30 words.
