Fair price for 100 posts?

[Sam]

Hi,

Just wondering if/ how much you would pay for a forum booster or starter service which gets your board 10 posts from 10 members? Total of 100 posts (but the biggest benefit would be the new signups).

Thanks! 😀

I'd say the going rate is probably somewhere around $0.05-$0.10 per post. However, that's on the low end of the spectrum. So I guess that would come out to about $10, maybe $15? At that price, it would be a little difficult to pay your workers, but forum posting has never been that lucrative anyway haha. 😛

hmm. Probably looking at charging toward the upper end ($15). Yes it isn't particularly lucrative, just another avenue for what I have planned! 😀 Thanks for the feedback.

The usual rate is about $0.10 per post, as Pandaa said. Unless the service is very good, I'm not sure I'd pay $15, although posts coming from 10 different users is good. Are the users the same person, or different people entirely?

I would definitely not hire a person to post with several accounts. My staff members would notice the fact that they use the same IP address, and even if (s)he uses a VPN to have 10 IP addresses, it would still seem like cheating to me...

There are members who offer forum services like this and their prices vary - of course you should always strive for quality of quantity any way. 😉

Not to mention the posts would have a very similar writing style too. But this service would give a forum 10 different signus.

There are. The unique factor is the 10 different signups/ posters. Email markers are generally happy paying quite a bit per signup because they can generate $1 per subscriber per month (that's the "average" they talk about in the industry).

I would pay around $5. I wouldn't pay more because there are always people who are willing to make posts for cheap.

It solely depends on who you are targeting. For example, the average rate is between $5-10, however, these can be unreliable at times. As someone who used to do Paid Posting services, I would charge $20 for myself and another admin here to do 100 posts. People will buy if the service is good and reliable and trust the brand. 😉
