Forum posting jobs are a great way to make some spare cash. If you get popular or find a great company, you could even become a paid moderator or forum administrator and earn a decent income. When I got started in 2006 in freelance writing, my first decent paying gig was to manage online community forums.
Here are several places you could find these types of jobs:
- Digital Point Forums
- Site Point Forums
- Craigslist
- Odesk
- Freelance bidding sites like Guru or eLance
Job duties might include: keeping conversations going, starting new threads, moderating forum discussions, moving spam out of the forum, resetting passwords, managing contests.
Pricing for posting generally starts at pennies a post and many companies pay via PayPal. Forum management jobs will often pay hourly, weekly or monthly salaries.
If you’re looking to get into this area, you might start posting in communities and being helpful and articulate. Choose communities that you’re interested in and once you become an established poster, PM (private message) the administrator and suggest you’d like to be considered for a management posting if one comes up.
