Can a paid to post forum be taking as a real business or job

Teephe said:
I guess a paid-to-post forum can be considered a real job or business model. However, its success depends on various factors such as the quality of contents being posted, user engagements, and the forum ability to attract advertisers and sponsors.

Monetizing through paid memberships, advertisements, or partnerships can make it a viable business, but it must provide value to it's users to ensure sustainability of the forum.

I can't take making money in a paid to post site or forum as a real job or business, because i can't be financially stable working in a paid to post site.
 
Hmmmm pay to post can be real business but some of pay to post forum can short down unexpected time. This is why some people can't take pay to post forum as real business.

It's true that is one of the issue am having now with ptp forum it can be shut down at anytime,I even prefer micro jobs website to promote forum because it's won't be easy for a micro job website to go scam.
 
Even if I take paid to post forum as a full time work for me and invest 8-10 hours daily as one would do for any full time job, I can't earn enough to put food on table in my country, forget about paying bills. I am happy to do them as side hustles along with my part time well paying job. Money is definitely a motivation to be on these sites but it can never be enough for livelihood.

Paid-to-post forum websites come and go. There are only a few paid-to-post forum websites that have stood the test of time. So, in my humble opinion, making it only your real job may not help you achieve your goals. It is better to have other sources of income, especially during this trying time.

Yeah, most paid to post forum may last for a short while and I know about this because I have been on different paid to post forums in the past but they no longer function well presently.
 
I think paid to post forums should not be thought to be become a main source of income as a poster. I think it should be taken as a place to interact with other people and learn on different topics while you earn a buck here and there which doesn't hurt. Now, if you want to make money around forums, it's another story. You need to offer a service or product where you can leverage your time in order to see a significant amount of income. Leveraging your time as a poster making automatic post, or using AI, is not really what's wanted on most forums from a the forum owner's perspective and real users as well. It is a drawback when I notice post that are made with AI, or when it comes from bots. So, it's almost impossible to earn enough by posting along, even if you spend 16 hours a day.

I am surprised to know that one can actually rely on paid go post forums as the main source of earnings. It does not provide a job security or consistency of payment. Things have become tougher in the current times with few good paid to post forums getting shut down or reducing their pay rates. Some have stopped paid posting.

Well, some people do take it as a full time job. you just have to work on more forums and post on it consistently to be able to cash out regularly

Hmm...it won't be possible in our country with the current cost of living to earn a living only through paid to post forums. Yes, one might get a decent living through online earning including various things like freelancing, skill based work, forums etc.. But relying solely on paid to pist forum will not work, even if you spend the entire day posting on various forums. It won't help sustaining a decent life.

You are right this always depends on the country of residence. If your country cost of living is low then paid to post can suffice
 
It is not possible to rely on pay per post as source of livelihood. The rate of most of pay per post is real low and you have to over labor before you make anything tangible. Thirdly, forum can close down without notice and some earning get trapped. I have lost many of my earning in some scrupulous forums.

That's a big concern for anyone. Paid to post forums provide no security. Not only they can shut down at any time without any prior notice, they can reduce their pay rates too from time to time. One can't rely on them to provide with a constant source of income.
 
For the owner maybe but even then it's pretty hard work and needs a lot of attention to make it successful. I think most forum owners also have a job in addition to their forum. For us as users of a forum definitely not. It's okay for a bit of pocket money but that's about it.
 
Running a forum does not guarantee an overnight success. We are users on many forums and we know that how forun owners have to be on their toes to keep their forum running smoothly. It's hard to get users for a non paid forun unless it has a other lucrative benefits to offer. People go mostly for paid to post forums. And for forums to pay the users, it has to be run on profitable and sustainable model..
Most of the forum owners that I know have a stable job to pay for their living. They have forums as their side hustle. It is not easy to sustain it.

I think that these sites can be used for full-fledged work only for very, very poor countries, because the payment is not so high and by the standards of even Europe, no one is interested in such a profit as the main source of income

It's all depend on your strategy of posting people are making good money from paid to post forum but you will need to be committed to work and never use your working time for any other purpose at the end of the month you will surely come out with pay

This is true because I have already seen many forums that stopped paying and also most of them constantly reduce payments. It is clear why this happens, so it is impossible to hope for it for those who are considering such an option
