    Imagine you are hired to do posting in a couple of forums for 8 hours day as a permanent employee. Your boss set a target of 500 quality posts a day. Each post must be at least 50 words. Good english?

    Will you accept this job?

    Yes, if he paid 1 million per month.
    Then I'd work for about a month and retire at 18 :D:D:D:D

    500 posts in a day is way too high. 500 posts of 50 words each, means 25000 words minimum per day.

    If we work for 8 hours, that is nearly 1 word per second.

    No.

    100 posts a day would be a more likely target

    This computation makes me sound like a Boss from Hell :p So, how much do you think you should be paid to be tortured like this?

    I'd say $500-1000 a day, maybe it's a bit too much but that's my opinion.
    I would do it actually, I'd just have to quite school first lol :p

    Usually 500 posts of around 20 words each, would cost 50$.

    If they are all 50 words minimum, I guess 150$ a day.

    To make 50 word posts and 500 posts a day , you will need someone who has exceptional knowledge of your forum's niche.

    Hell, why not, if he'd pay me at least $200/day. Thinking too hard just for 500 50-word posts is worth (more than) $200 :p

    500 are a lot of posts, but I guess it depends. If I like the subject of the forums, could be :)

    500 posts x 50 words in 480 minutes is impossible for human

    100 posts would be a more realastic goal

    posting in forum is for fun.. that is what I think... doing paid posting sometimes is ok.. but as regular job, it may drive anyone insane.

    100 posts more realistic? I do 40 posts on DP minimum quite easily with no motivation (except the incentive to help people out) and it isn't bad.
    100 is too easy :p

    from my experience 30 posts a day take about five hours, if you're taking the time out to make meaningful posts.
