Postloop!

So I heard about Postloop back in June or so when I was growing a little bored of my usual surveys. The premise is this: Forum owners pay a bit of money to these folks in order to attract potential posters to said forums. You, the poster, jump through a few hoops (very minor stuff like making sure you have an avatar for their forum, etc), and begin posting on their forum and are reimbursed in points that points some form of cash that you can withdraw into PayPal (a $5 threshold must be met, I believe).

You're essentially "baiting" the forum, encouraging and creating topics and conversations for others. I'm assuming from the forum owner's perspective that they wait till traffic is pretty substantial and cut off the cash flow eventually when they feel like the forum can stand on its own two legs.

All of this is a breath of fresh air for someone like me who is burnt out on taking monotonous consumer surveys. There is huge variety of forums catering to different niche topics (some very specific, which may be why they lack in traffic), so you shouldn't have any trouble in latching onto a forum or two to become a regular at. The idea of posting on forums (about stuff you're actually interested in), and getting paid for it is awesome to me. It definitely adds up over time, and it's one of those things where you could net a decent bit of money if you're very persistent with it.

If you love stating your thoughts and opinions on different matters and already do that on-line (c'mon, this singles out.. uh, everyone), then you might as well earn a few bucks for it. Make new friends. Whatever. It's cool. Try it out.

And if you took the time to read my article and wanna give it a shot, I would totally appreciate you using my nifty spifty referral link for Postloop! That's a fancy way of saying I get a small, tiny something out of recommending it to you, which I would be most grateful for. Remember this, every little bit counts. It all adds up.

Thanks! And if you have any suggestions, input or comments of any sort, go right ahead and fire away!
