If you’ve ever tried starting up a new forum, you know how hard it can be to get things rolling. Nobody wants to join a site that has no members or posts. So what do you do?

I’ve been in this boat several times already. I currently own two forums that I’m in the process of building up. After having tried many “paid posting services” only to find that most of them are simply inactive sites and don’t exist, I found Postloop.

Postloop is a site for both forum owners and users that want to make money. They’ve created a system that uses “points” which are basically credits.

Forum owners have the option to earn points by posting in other forums within the Postloop service, or they can simply buy points in various predefined amounts.

Posters earn credits by simply being active in forums and posting about the topics they enjoy. These credits can then be “cashed out” and paid via paypal.

What makes this system special you ask? Well, the best part of the entire process is that Postloop uses a rating system. As a forum owner, you can rate the individual posters assigned to your site. In order for a poster to be paid, they must be above the average rating among all users. This gives them a reason to post quality, useful posts rather than one sentence responses. As a forum owner, you decide if you like the subscriber as your rating determines their overall score.

As a regular and active user of Postloop, I’ve had nothing but great results and am extremely impressed with the quality of the content I’ve received.

So if you’re a forum owner trying to start up a new site or just an average Joe that wants to make a few extra dollars from home, check out Postloop.
