I've done this a couple times, but the best way to do this, if your investing your money in it, is to say New Topics Only, which is more benificial to the forum and its members.

The best way is doing it yourself; promoting and such. I am a paid poster on some forums, but I don't recommend hiring forum posters. | |||||

Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 21 | Does anyone who's had experience with paid posters have some examples of their work? And who did you hire? While it seems like a good way to get the ball rolling, I have always used post exchanges and it's worked perfectly for me thus far..we'll see how the latest one goes I suppose. | ||||

Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 10,246 Location: Athens, GA | I've never been a fan of paying for posts, as a matter of fact...I've actually done it for $$ myself before...while my posts arent as low quality as some I've seen, I don't think I would actually pay for them. Exchanges are a much better way to go, in my opinion...unless you just have a whole lot of money to waste...and if that's the case, you should probably be advertising, not buying posters
