Some product-oriented sites thrive on a forum or two. They sell something controversial- like pheromones or popular dating CDs and rely on viral word of mouth from members who join their public forum.

Forums are great ways to generate sales. That much I’ve discovered on one of my sites which sells diet supplements. A customer likes the product, writes about it and pretty soon, other forummers pick up on the enthusiasm. They end up buying.

Now what if your forum is new and has no members. Or what if its large but already stagnated? There’s a good solution. Check out PaidPostingReviews. It’s a site that reviews forum posting services. Essentially, a posting service contracts the employ of web surfers like you and I to post on assigned forums- thereby spiking activities and inspiring new sign ups. Ultimately you get sales.

I tried one of the recommended services and was delighted to see 5 or 6 new posts a day on my stagnated forum. Well worth the money!

My only reservation is that paidpostingreviews.com is run by one of the sites allegedly ‘reviewed’ on his list.
