Paid posting?

[Yarik]

Do you consider paid posting a reliable way to get content on your forum, at least in the early days when there are no active users?

I think it's a nice method to start with so you fill your boards and generate activity. Potential members can easily get turned away if they see your forum is a dead place. But paid posting shouldn't be your primary way of getting content.

No, paid posting is never as dedicated as original content. If we are to start a forum, the admin should post more during the initial phase. Otherwise no point in starting one.

I like it. Because I offer paid posting package. Well researched content is a great asset, paid or otherwise.

I'm not against it but the quality has to be there. So many forums, you can tell the thought process didn't go into it. If an Admin wants to pay for posts, that is on them. However they should do it to get conversations & discussions going, not just as fillers.
The reason I haven't done it is because I don't want my name & account number out there as I can see how it would be enticing. It can be just like Post Exchanges.

This is a valid concern.

I think that it's a good way of getting good contents and traffic to your new forum. Yes, I know very well that it's your money working for you but it's all about the plan. If you can't do it yourself at the initial stage, you pay for it, till you start getting real organic traffic who will pump on the already existing contents paid for on the forum.

I don't mind doing it once in a while to give the site I'm working on a boost.

I have a couple of paid posters on my forum. If you don't have paid posters, your forum will look like a Ghost Town. Having paid posters also help you build quality content. If you have had paid posters on your forum you will understand what I mean.

I like the new services I just used, good pricing, and quality posts.
