Average price of a forum post?

[Ascent]

I have two questions I'd like you guys to answer.

1) What is the average 'market' price of a forum post, in USD currency? Price shouldn't be based just from here, but from other forums as well.

2) How much would you personally pay for a forum post?

3) How much forum posts would you buy at a time? 10? 20? 100? Or what other amount?

Well, the prices are based on quality. I usually sell posts that have at least 5-8 words in them for about 4-5 cents a post. Others sell them for 2 cents a post, and they are not that good quality. I would personally pay 4-5 cents per post for quality posts with at least 5-8 words in each post. I would also but a bundle of 50-100 posts.

1) Depends who is buying/selling them. I assume this is for the site you're making. Since people buying in bulks of 100 posts and that would cost around $20-$25. You can't pay per post as that is not feasible. I would charge more as the time spent completing posts increases, and professionals bulk charge, so you wouldn't find anything like 10 posts or 25 posts. That's amateur and won't get you anywhere. The people most likely to be buying these are real webmasters that have a job and can afford to spend on these small things.

2) I wouldn't pay for posts, but depending on quality and quantity, I'd spend about $10 for 100 posts (but this is in comparison).

3) 100 or 250 bulks.

1) Looking at DigitalPoint/V7N for example, the average rate is around 10-15 cents per post. Here it's a lot cheaper obviously.

2) I wouldn't pay much, maybe 5 cents per post? Then again I am pretty stingy and I'm not making that much revenue online. Plus I'd rather save my money for better things but that's just me.

3) I don't have any limit on how many posts I would order, it depends more on price.

1) I say 4 -5 cents or more depending on quality.
2) I wouldn't pay per post, I would pay in the amount of post's they do and quality. I wouldn't go over the max of £10 per person.
3) I buy a pack, like 20, 50, 100, 250 post's but really depends.

I honestly wouldn't buy money because i'm cheap and have no money. however, if i did, i would buy 50-100 posts.

Forum Posts are worth about $0.05 which is 3p in GBP here but places such as Digital Point will cost alot more. 😉

I would have had that the other way around:

"Forum posts are worth $0.15 which is 9p in GBP in DigitalPoint but places such as here will cost a lot less".

I think FP is a relatively poor basis for comparison due to the small amount of big forum owners.

Isn't that basically what I just said :S Digital Point pays more cents per post than FP. 😉

Not really. You sort of based DP's prices off FP, when in fact, the mainstream cost is about $0.15 and FP is like an outlier.

DP's sales don't even work. I made a few threads and one was paid posting which was $0.10 each and no one replies :S

Tell me about it 😛

But really, you've got to get a good iTrader before people start to trust you.

Yeah but they don't even ask questions like that. 😛

I was thinking of joining up Fergal's place once I done some posting on ones site. 😉
