Exchange of services for forum posters ideas

    I'm in need of forum posters however I don't want to post at the "Services" forum without knowing what is best.

    After looking in that forum most people are just looking for money in exchange for them posting. I was wondering if this forum or any forum have post exchanges. Where you post on their forum and at the same time they will post at yours.

    But ideally I just want to create graphics / videos / websites in exchange for their postings. Like maybe create a forum signature in exchange they will be posting in my forum casually for a few days or weeks.

    I don't know what to do. Do you guys have any ideas or anything that people might want as an incentive to post in my forums rather than me paying "paid posters" ?

    You can try contests, giving away links, ad space, and writing an article. Just a few ideas. :)

    I agree with Joe! But still we can't hide the fact that most people would still prefer money. But you can give it a shot! Goodluck to your forum and more power! :)

    i have tried the idea of, "you post in my forum, and i will post in yours", and it did work a bit, though you need more forum admins to do this to get it working!:)

    I see. Thanks for the input. I want to expand more in the functionality of the site however it doesn't have much member base so a question comes into my mind is that should I keep building a site that no one will visit? I think its better to have a decent site with lots of members than a very good high-tech cool site with little members.

    When making a community online is trying to get members a priority? Or would you just do your thing and keep on creating content and the members will come?

    Well offer some ad-space and links to them if he is webmaster and run site or blogs. Give some e-books and Articles which he want.:)

    Most of poster looking for money but Link is good for Webmaster Posters.:)
