The Trend of Pay Per Post

Laura Hickey
The latest online money making trend is pay to post websites. This websites are forums that allow users to earn points or cents per reply posted. Some forums allow you to earn money for each new discussion you created. Two forums that are gaining interest are Pakarena and Dorm Check. Both are free to join.

Pakarena has a simple registration. You give a user name, password and enter a code to ensure it's not a robot trying to sign up. After you sign up you're all set to go. You can sign in and start posting. Twenty before was the limit but now there is no post on how many you can do. Each post before would earn you 4 points or $0.04. Each new topic posted before would have earned you 3. In mid February the website did some changes and now is under new management. Now every post and new topic only earns you $0.01.

You are allowed to cash out when you have reached payout minimum. The current minimum payout is $10.00. There's no waiting for the end of the month. Payment is supposed to be made via paypal or e-gold. You donate your points to the administration. It takes about 24-48 hours for you to get paid. Spamming is prohibited and will result in having your account terminated.

Since the website has been taken over, many have lost interest including myself. It was off to a good start with the earnings system compare to other pay per post rates. I suggest checking out another place. But see it for yourself @ http://pakarena.com/forum/

Dorm Check has an easy platform to understand. You simply register and start posting right away. Each new topic posted and reply earns you $0.01.Here the website isn't loaded with a ton of fancy graphics or flash media which results in fast loading pages for all connection speeds. You have the option to have a picture on your member and posting profile. There's a menu on the left hand side telling you of your earnings and how many posts you have so far. The earnings are updated each time you post. Here you don't need to wait till the end of the month to cash out. There have been posts of proof of payment via paypal from many members now.

There are many forums to post topics and replies to. There are moderators that ensure no referral links are posted and if they are, the post is edited. You are allowed to post links in general such as a news link referring to your post. Spam is not acceptable and neither is one word answers. Here there's no general word count limit needed to post your reply. It's not uncommon for someone to be able to post 30-60 posts in an hour. I wouldn't suggest this as a place to earn hourly but possible a good way to earn some extra cash each month.

Dorm Check has a booster's cash section where you can win anywhere between $0.01- $1.00 for searching on the Google search bar. You're allowed to search 3 times each day. You can click on ads and be paid for looking at them. But only a few pay $0.01 while others pay less then that. Others including signing up for web hosting for a credit of $85.00 while another example is : signing up for a free 7 day trial of movies for a $3.00 Dorm Check credit.

Something that I haven't seen before is the ability to buy yourself a referral. For $0.50 you can purchase up to 25 referrals each week. For every new person that signs up for Dorm Check but didn't have a referral, your name will be made into the referral box. There's also a gold memberships ranging in price from $4.00 to $40.00 that increases your post earnings by 10%.

As of right now I would say Dorm Check is off to a pretty good start. Members are pretty happy around the website and say they don't feel it's a chore like other pay per post websites do. But don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself today @ : http://dormcheck.com/index.php

Before signing up for any pay per post website, it's a good idea to ask around about the company and it's reputation. You wouldn't want to use your valuable time only to find out the website really doesn't pay it's members after all.
