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

[riberet19]

Well, I don't think so, you can have it as a secondary income, yes, but earning money on them as your first income I don't see it as profitable at all.

For me the answer is the capital NO.
This is because most PTPs pay somewhere like $0.20 per day. So for one to earn at least a dollar in a day they must combine at least five PTPs which is a lot of hard work for less rewards.

Running a paid to post forum can be a business but working on paid to post forums cannot be a real job

It is difficult to make good money from paid to post. So it should be a secondary kind of income for you.

 

[Stardom22]

Earning on the paid to post forums through posting is not enough for one to make a living from. That is because the PTPs pay very little rewards for that matter.

No no, I didn't mean not to say what I earn as a forum owner. I meant that as a forum owner(in my case) I don't earn money. What I gain is
activity on the forum, but not money. I said it was a good one, in comparison of what users make. Actually users make more than the forum owner even though is not like a regular job to depend on for them.

What you get mostly from activity? First what I get in mind is better value on domain name if you will sell it later.

You are right, value is created, but it's not turned into money to use it, until you sell. But if I don't sell? = no money.

It can be a business model only when it generates a lot of revenue. But sadly that is not possible on paid to post forums

Do you think as owner you can get like 10$ per day? Can pop up ads bring even more money?

I haven't made that kind of money from my forums. If you can grow big, with hundreds of posts every day you might make good money though. Pop up ads are bad for forums because forums thrive on engagement and pop up ads interfere with posting.

That’s a fair point. For most people, PTP forums probably aren't reliable enough to be a primary income source.

 

[gwolf666]

business only for the person who does it, but I don't know how profitable it is, if some profitability is obtained, one should consider creating several paid sites to earn money, leaving this aside for someone who just wants to earn money no, it is considered only extra income but not a business, the profits are very few to be considered a business as such

 

[Fire&Rain]

although i would not recommend it as your only source of income, it can be considered a real online job since it also generates consistent income. Consistency is key.

 

[SilverLance]

It can be taken as a supplementary source rather than a primary income. And consistency is indeed the key.

Yea it's better as a secondary or supplementary source of income, especially due to the current pay rates and how much you can earn per month.

 

[Stardom22]

I can say that forum posting can't be taken as jobs to both the forum owners and the posters.
