Posting Contests

clookid · 03-23-2007

Hey everyone,

I would recommend that if you are going to get involved in posting contests, do not spend too long at them.

The value of the prize will slowly begin to decrease as you post more. I posted 300+ at NETpox.com :: Index which is about 30c per post but I haven't been paid.

A lot of posting contests are SCAMS!

Kind regards,
-Clookid

Well, there are many instances whereby the forum admin honoured his word though.
$0.30 per post does sound too good to be true though.
Whenever I see such offers, I usually won't do them, because more often than not, these people won't pay.

That is debatable, I had a posting job for $0.50 USD per post at a well established forum (no posting limitations) and I was paid in advance!

VanBasten · 03-24-2007

Good for you. The next question I would ask is - how many times have you had such good offers with no posting limits?
More often than not, people who offer such rates are out to cheat. You were paid in advance, so obviously you had nothing to lose. However, if somebody were to offer me such rates and pay only after the work is complete, I would still think twice.

I'd definately like to know as postings range from $0.05 to $0.20 on the internet and you are lucky to get more than that. Also, no one pays in advance, just not done unless you've done many jobs for them. Please share your details, seems like a scam otherwise.

50 Cents a Post. Pay in Advance. Seriously.**CLOSED**

This is the exact thread that I was hired.

I have also had another posting job for 40c per post, first 200. I was paid $20 USD before the job and $60 USD after, the limitations were easy to follow. At least five characters per post + please keep your posts clean. For that job I had to post at Video Games Forum, Computer & Console Games, Xbox-Playstation-Wii but the thread that I was hired in no longer exists. Nevertheless, I was hired at Freelance Projects & Jobs. Freelance Programmers, Web Designers & Writers. Contract Work.

You really just have to surf around and never think something is too good to be true! E.g. right now I have a posting job for $1.50 USD per post that is approx. 150 words and I am going to give it a good go!

Good to see that you are getting such lucrative posting jobs clookid.
Next time you have such offers, remember to drop us a PM here.

I wouldn't enter posting contests. You post a lot and then there's always someone who beats you out. Chances of winning are slim and it's like you've done all that work for nothing. Unless you've grown to like the place.
