I was thinking it could never be worth it to pay someone to run or help run my forums. Now I'm thinking it might be very possible because I saw this ad on the V7n forums offering really little money for a lot of work:
* Minimum of 200 post a month (Half of this MUST be new threads)As I attempt to hijack the thread, I asked this question:
* Promote forum in at least 10 other forum/directory a month
* Run contents for members
* Help choose contest winner
* Help with putting contents of site newsletter together
* Provide ideas to stimulate forum growthRemuneration
------------------
* $100 payable by PayPal, MoneyBooker or UK cheque
* Share of advert revenue i.e. can sell two text link or promote your own websites free)
So how much should I offer to someone for moderating my forum? Let's say I demand the first two:Posted by James Trotta at March 9, 2005 1:53 PM* Minimum of 200 post a month (Half of this MUST be new threads)
* Promote forum in at least 10 other forum/directory a monthbut NOT the others:
* Run contents for members
* Help choose contest winner
* Help with putting contents of site newsletter together
* Provide ideas to stimulate forum growthThe newsletter one sounds like a lot of work...
I think it would be expensive if you look for fellow webmasters to do it. For normal Internet users, they can do it much cheaper, of course, excluding the promotion part, that's supposed to be done by yourself, I'm sure you can do it well if you have enough posts.
I would suggest you look for the persons in a non-webmaster forum. Run a posting contest or pay per post.
Well, that's just my guess, I still haven't found a good topic to create a forum, although I really want to make one - just for fun.
