Being paid for posting- Is this real?

    I’ve found a Web site called the Business World Man. The address is www.businessmanworld.com According to the site, we become members, write articles (through it we can earn money) and then we’ll be entitled to a percentage of the site’s budget according with the amount of articles that we wrote.

    This means that the more we write, the more we gain. What do you think about this system?

    Well, it's a contest. They have you sign up the contest, and then IF you write quality material they admire, you will be selected to then be the chosen few who will continue to write posts and earn money. The contest is quite extreme since you have to dedicate some time on the articles as a "demo" for them, and if you're lucky you'll get the role.

    I've hired forum posters before and really their services are best employed on sites for which the 'employees' know the subject matter.

    It has worked well on webmaster/IT forums, but on a couple sports sites, their lack of knowledge was pretty obvious.

    Forum posting/article writing is a job people will pay money for. I would freelance it as opposed to doing it through websites like the ones you mentioned, they tend to be scams.

    Hmmm...why go through middlemen and earn less that what you should get. You can basically earn even more by providing your service to DP members here at the content creation section.

    You guys are getting paid forum posting mixed up with businessmanworld's competition. It just appears to be a way of evaluating writer's quality before hiring one of those writers as a full-time blogger - this is different to paid forum posting, where webmasters actually pay per post.

    Yeah, this is called paid posting which is a real waste of time. I thought that was like the best thing on earth when I first started out. But, I had to write 50 or so posts that had great content on them before I could get a payout of $6.00. Totally not worth the time or money.

    I'm working for forumbooster.net, they hire writers and you get paid $0,10 for each forum post you make... perhaps you should check it out?

    I'm paying people to post on my own site to celebrate the opening of my new forum and to get some people there that post. http://tinyurl.com/6qrtdv I've a few hundred bucks on it and it's doing ok, haven't made profit with the new site but it will in time.

    Well I was reading carefully the www.businessmanworld.com site and I think it is like a bloggers community where people who writes can get access to the site budget. I don't know if the budget will increase, but I think it has to. Or else the budget won't be much interesting. But how will the budget grow?

    I know we must pay $10 to become a member and then we gain some money through our articles.

    The thing I don't get yet is if with time, 3, 4 or 5 months will we be getting some profit?

    What do you think?

    I believe the site is really business + writing. Quite interesting!

    Yes they're legit. I've ran a site that I paid people to post on before. It didn't do very well and I lost some money on it :D

    Well, perhaps I will try it. They already have some authors and some articles and the budget has grew. I will write a topic about business, the site's theme. But I'm trying to get something out of my brain. Will I make it?:D
