🔷 Writing short posts¶

The short post includes anything under 500 words. The notorious content mills will pay you, but if you are not thinking in a right direction they can also drain your energy and all the free time you have. The best course of action is to write about something that amuses you or about something you know a lot in a concise and informative matter.

🔷 Forums¶

The most popular way of getting paid for a few posts daily are various forums. If you are apt to this job you can try Forumcoin, The Forum Wheel and Beer Money Forum.

Minimal payment threshold is different for an every forum, all of them have Paypal payment option. Forums have the same rules like the commenting, do not join in with the boards where you have nothing relevant to share or contribute.

There are very few forums that pay contributors for participating and posting content. Most forums are focused on community building and discussion, rather than providing a source of income for participants.

Posting in forums can be a great way to build your online reputation, network with others, and share your expertise and knowledge. However, earning a significant income through posting in forums alone can be challenging.

Some forums may offer incentives or rewards for active participation, such as points or badges, but these are typically not considered a source of income.

It's worth noting that while participating in forums and earning Forumcoin can be a fun way to engage with others and potentially earn a little extra money, it's unlikely to provide a significant source of income. As with any rewards program, it's important to read the terms and conditions carefully and understand how the program works before participating.

The Forum Wheel ¶

Theforumwheel.com appears to be a platform that allows users to participate in online forums and earn rewards for their contributions. The exact details of how the platform works and what rewards are offered are not publicly available on their website, so it's recommended to reach out to the platform directly or research reviews and user experiences to get a better understanding of the program.

It's worth noting that while participating in forums and earning rewards can be a fun way to engage with others and potentially earn a little extra money, it's unlikely to provide a significant source of income. As with any rewards program, it's important to read the terms and conditions carefully and understand how the program works before participating.
