Experience - Forum posting job

Monday, February 18th, 2008 | Freelancer

One of the most boring and frustrating job is forum posting.Why? Well , my broadband isn’t as fast as UK,US people have. I need to constantly navigate like a fool and the forum is loading like anything. It hangs. Several ads and images and text links inserted on the forum. Just hangs everything when clicked new link.

And i have promised for 100 posts on forum. 20 atleast threads and rest posts(replies). $.10 for each post. That is $10 for 100. I thought it’s hardly 2 hours work. But wait till i tell you the details.

Its 4 hours since i am there.Still at 72 post. I have done about 25 new threads(5 extra). Just posting replies to old threads. Its so time taking and hanging that i now feel i should have made all 100 posts as threads! The minimum words to be used in each post are 10-12.cool. But i get to 30-40 as i am out of mind while posting and may post any length of article. The only guy posting some good stuff on the forum where i am posting is me. Everyone else is posting cheap threads like -

‘Is there life after death’?

Now are you supposed to post such threads in a webmaster,domain,hosting related forum? If it had something related to the life of a domain name,i wouldn’t mind. And that too it’s more funny when that thread gets highest replies with replies such as:

‘There is hell and heaven after death’.

Don’t know what quality posts mean. It seems they are just posting there for the sake of posting. I wouldn’t ever try forum posting in future. Better with quality articles. It just sucks me and my time.
