Im thinking of starting a forum posting company where i recruit people to post messages on forums etc Does anybdoy know what a decent rate to pay people would be and also a decent rate to charge, I looked on the services forum but it seems really up and down as some people charge really different amounts thanks
I would have thought that a good way to guage prices would be to see what offers attract the most attention in the forum. If people are falling over themselves to offer to post, the price is too high and if nobody is responding then the price is too low. When it comes as to what to charge; the opposite is true of course.
Well I run a site like this (Address in signature) and I pay all my writers anywhere between 15c-20c. I always maintain a very close relationship with my writers and clients.
There is to much Forum Posting going on now, I would have started a year ago, but not with all the competition now! I would charge at around 0.2 per Post 0.25 per Topic and pay people 0.1 - 0.15 per Post with a bonus for good posting, so there quality of posts increases.
Sorry, yes, I forgot to mention I also start writers off on 25 cent per thread. Then you get all the added bonuses and a friendly community to keep moral up.
