Is there still (legit) money in forum posting?
 

A friend of mine just txt'd me tonight asking me if he should take some job that involves posting on web forums and message boards. I can't image there is that much money left in doing legit marketing on forums anymore, let alone hiring someone form the US for more than $8/hr to do this.

I know a lot of companies that still actively post in mainstream boards, but outsource most of it

To me something like that will never be outdated so to say. Maybe the same techniques cannot be used continually over the years, but you should still be able to think outside of the box and make good money. I have tasks that require forum posting (not spam) that I could bring someone on for $8/hr to do and still make a nice profit. :2 cents:

my son... There will always be opportunities to make money posting at forums if that is in fact what you inspire to be; a forum poster..

Yes, if you want to make a full time job of it. No, if you are looking for the proverbial quick buck.

Pay some lazy ass $8/hr in the USA or pay someone $2/hr in the Philippines who will actually try to do quality work.

Hmmm that's a tough one.
