Forum Brokers

I think it would be awesome if someone organized a group of good active forum posters/marketers and made it a profession. Like make a migratable group of marketers that made money by creating forums and making them popular. If you had a good enough and reliable group I think there would be a ton of money in it. For instance the group sets up a forum on a niche and all participate heavily in it for awhile, at the same time marketing it heavily so it's getting traffic. The conversations start rolling and activity rises. Then the group slowly weeds themselves out of the postings and starts another forum. Then they all just have shares in the forum money. I think the plan would work bad fuckin ass but it'd be hard to get together a good group and keep them organized.

Jon i think this would be a perfect project for you. Plus it would be a huge slap to lee dodds if you beat him at his own game. I know i'd join you in the venture.

btw does anyone else think the O Rly? icon is by far the best? I crack up everytime i see it.

Um im not too sure what you mean.. are you talking about a paid forum posting service?

Jon started this forum up pretty quickly if I remember correctly. Do you even need a group of people to participate heavily? I mean if you want content on the forum you could always just post a bunch of fake posts from different user names.... or is there an advantage to the posts originating from different people?

 

[Deliguy]

very good points and your both totally right. I just think its a neat idea. Kind of a fun+profitable community thing

I lease out paid forum posters. Basically, I give them some time to learn a particular niche then run some test posts then unleash them on a client's board.

LOL, Stanley. We're based in the Philippines and all my employees are 1) college degree holders 2) paid 10 to 25% over base wages here 3) get all government-mandated benefits

That sums it up pretty well

I don't think it would be a very profitable venture. You would have to deliver tangible results for people to pay a pretty sum for it, and you can't necessarily guarantee them success just by posting and promoting alone. Plus what would constitute success?

The reality is most forum owners are poor and could not afford this kind of service. The ones that can are already investing money in their forums and growing it.

Perhaps something could work, but I would be skeptical.
