Is paid posting something you’ve ever done yourself or paid for? Was it worth it? Would you do it or buy it again?
Discussion Hub is a general discussion community aiming to provide a fun and laidback environment with a touch of old school. We have a diverse memberbase with people from all over the world and tons of content for you to get involved in and share your perspective. We’d love for you to become a part of our awesome community.
I’ve never heard of Posting Bay but I’ve seen similar websites in the past and those type of websites have become extinct over time. There’s still a few paid-to-post forums around but not as many as there once was. Forums have declined in general over the years which probably explains their extinction.I used to work for a website that I got paid to post on other people's forums. It was called Posting Bay, the owner sold it to someone and that person didn't do much with the website and abandoned the project unfortunately. It's a shame too, the website was doing well and we had some dedicated admins who used our services quite a few different times. I never purchased paid posting packages before though.
I've paid for it a few times for my old forum. It worked for a while and got content but doesn't work out too well in the long run unless you build a good relationship with the person doing it and they stick around afterwards.Is paid posting something you’ve ever done yourself or paid for?

Paid posting is what a forum owner uses to boost activity on his forum. It's needed in a new forum to add more contents other members can engage in. I've used it and it was worth it.Is paid posting something you’ve ever done yourself or paid for? Was it worth it? Would you do it or buy it again?
You need a very long time to create even 100 random discussions at the rate of 3 or 4 random discussions every day. Even people who come from banner ads just sign up and do not post anything. This will force you to order posting packages.If you start a new forum, it's inevitable not to use paid posting services of others. It will be difficult to add all the contents on your own. It's in the early stage of my forum I've ordered for paid posting.

The paid posting needs that forum to monetize his activity from more than methods. I do not expect for example that a website owner even earns 0,01 $ from a post because ads have low CPM payment in general. He needs another activity like selling posting packages services to be able to pay a lot of users.Paid posting is all about targeting to keep your forum active. I don't see it as something that is wrong to do as long as you are hiring writers who understand what the job is all about. What you aim to achieve with forum posting should determine how many wrtiers you can hire for your forum. I don't think it is wrong for anyone that has a goal in sight.

Exactly the reward is not something high reward or you will become rich overnight. It could be for some internet expenses or daily life expenses but not expecting you to become rich from PTP or get a salary. You need to focus on a job on the internet instead of that like a freelancing platform.I've not done paid posting. It looks tiring if I'm honest. I like posting on forums but it's for fun. I can't be mandated to post because of money.
True, especially during the early stage. With time when more people know about the forum, there would be no need to use this service.If you start a new forum, it's inevitable not to use paid posting services of others.
