Examples of Bad Forum Posts – What NOT To Do

Here are some examples of bad things to do while posting in a forum, especially when you are expecting on getting paid for it.

• Using a title that is irrelevant to your post, and is ambiguous to others.
•  Posting an answer to a question that shows absolutely no knowledge of the subject. Don’t repeat somebody else’s answer.
• Not spell checking your work.
• Not using good grammar in your post.
• Making posts long without substance.

Anything else to add?

Fill My Forum

I tried to use Fill My Forum on a forum of mine, but after I sent them the money, I got no response. I’m really not sure what happened, or why I never got a response. I still see them advertising all over the place. I  emailed for a refund, but have yet to actually receive it.

I would advise against using their services, and if I hear back from them, I will let you know.

Also, I’d like to add that if you wish to review a posting service on this blog, I would be fine with  having a guest blogger for some posts. Let me know in comments!

What is a good forum post?

What do I think makes a good paid forum post?

I think that a good forum post is composed of the following:

• A title that is useful and descriptive – not something ambiguous like “Help!” or “Please read!”
• Shows sufficient knowledge of the topic at hand – or show that research has been done.
• Is an original thread – not a copy of another thread on the same forum.
• Follows the rules  of the forum.
•  Should be longer than 25 words, but not so long that it discourages potential readers from reading it.
• Uses grammar and punctuation in a readable and acceptable manner.
• Should inspire conversation
• Should be related to the main topic of the forum

Forums First – No. 2

I used Forums First again, and upgraded to the next package. I still like them, and will most likely use their services again when I feel like spending the money. The posters were good, and they made good posts. They worked well together, and I had no problems.

What’s Your Forum?

Do you have a forum? Share yours here!

Yes, this is free advertisement for whoever wants to advertise their forum, so long as their is no blatant adult content or scams.

Forum Spark

Forum Spark

I have used Forum Spark once, but communication was not very good. Posting also started late, and I had no idea of user names, etc. I would not use them again.  I didn’t care for the posts too much either, nothing great but nothing horrible.

Paid Forum Posting

Paid Forum Posting is my second favorite forum posting company (second to my only my own of course). After working there, I have seen just how much work and thought goes into each post. There is excellent communication, and since the writers are paid well, they are motivated to work harder.

If you have to choose just one forum posting company, go with with this one.

Paid Posting Tools

I have worked for Paid Posting Tools, and one thing I can say is that there is absolutely zero communication between the writers and the company hiring them. I don’t even know the names of the people that I work for, let alone what they really want out of writers. I really don’t even think they gave us a way to contact them if we need too.

The writers that they do have are pretty good quality. Most seem to be older women with children, mainly stay at home moms, and quality is decent. Not sure if I would recommend them though, I have heard a lot of things from unhappy customers in terms of consistency.

It’s basically a compilation of several different posting companies, so prices vary. You can visit the site here if you want to check them out.

Forum Spotlight: Do A Movie

Today’s forum spotlight is on the Do A Movie forum. It’s one of my forums, so of course I would love to have everybody stop in and give it a look. It’s currently a free forum, until I get enough people to make it worth it to go bigger, and I’m also hiring staff at the moment.

Staff needed:

Trailer Posters

Promoters

Moderators

I’m also looking for post exchanges if anybody is interested.

Do you want to put your forum on the forum spotlight? If you want to nominate one, email me at rockyourforum@gmail.com, or just leave a comment! Thanks!

Rock Your Forum

Rock Your Forum is actually  my own forum posting company, so obviously I cannot review it or else it would be unfair. I am currently looking for writers and clients, if anybody is interested. I also have a forum, which you can find here.
