The debt, mortgage and credit forums all pay about the same when it comes to posting. You will get paid more for you first 50 posts then after that they will fall just like this one.
No matter where you go on the forums, if you try to make longer posts you will make more money. I hope that you will take this advice, you have a lot to say, just expand on your answers a little more, I am sure you will do well on what ever forum that you concentrate your efforts on, hang in there and try to make longer posts.
Well, I am confused then .I went there and made a post or 2 and it did not give me any pay at all. I justy assumed after that ,that it does not pay. Thank you Goodnatured for the helpful advice I will keep that in mind when posting.
Have you registered on all three, they all do require separate registration, It would be easier for all of us if one worked on all forums and if all the points would combine, that would be nice. Each one is its own forum though. Hope you make lots of money hummingbird and goodluck with winning an iPod for your daughter.
I see you made it to the credit forum and doing well there, glad to see that you finally got it all figured out, if you have other questions please come on and ask, we will try to help you out.
OK...I've read the entire thread, and feel that I have to put in my two cents.
First off, there are members of this forum who contribute greatly, and it's obviously not about the money. Secondly, I appreciate those members that only comment in those threads in which they actually have knowledge. Trying to milk the system for $$ ain't the point.
I try and contribute in a manner that benefits all levels of knowledge, and I hope I do a decent job. The money is ok, but I won't post just for the bucks. It's pretty obvious when you browse the threads that there are those who do, contribute absolutely nothing to the post, and claim that they "don't do that." Yeah...right
There is some excellent knowledge here, and this site deserves to be expanded and grown. I participate in a number of professional and volunteer organizations, including insurance forums elsewhere, but try and spend time here. Don't have to. I am not here for the money in any way, but if the forum loses members due to the money (or lack thereof), that'll kinda suck.

Hate to tell you teach, you don't do a decent job at all...you do an excellent job!
I agree with you totally, it's clear when the motivation is monetary...and I have seen some posters who clearly began that way and have 'come around' to being quality posters....
If people quit posting because they don't think they are getting enough money, well, hey, sorry to say but no great loss...really, if they are only motivated by the little bit of money that I find frankly generous, as certainly don't have to ....I also am on many boards/communitys etc, without pay....it's all about your motivation....most posters want to help the OP's that come seeking advise, or to broaden their own knowledge and I think that's what it's about....
thanks teach, great post. _________________ Have you been helped by a poster? Do you want to show your appreciation? YOU CAN !! Just simply click on the donate button and send them some coin!

Truly, it feels real good to see the way this site has come up!
I completely agree with Lori.

Paying towards the member contributions is aimed not only at inspiring the community efforts but also for the 'invaluable time' that the members are investing at the forums. As the community is dedicated to benefit both the novices as well as the expert members, hence we expect the experts to set an example for the newbees through their sharing of insurance knowledge in lieu of money.
When I first found this insurance community, I was just a little bit sceptical (wish I had spellcheck - Lakemen can we get it?), any way, I had a very difficult time in understanding why many of the posts even were allowed to remain on the site.
I would see posts like: "Well hello, boondoggle007, I really don't know anything about this subject, but maybe someone will be along shortlly and answer your question".
Or, how about:
"Hey windshieldwiper, sorry about your accident, I had one once".
These posters were actually paid "something" for this useless material.
I wanted to post something like - "Hey, if you don't know anything about the topic, why don't you post somewhere else", but obviously I couldn't do that.
I, personally, like you InsTeacher, stay away from topics about which I have absolutely no knowledge and there are a lot of those. I have never seen a place where people have had so many auto accidents.
I decided to stay for the challenge, certainly not the money. I have made it a personal goal to do whatever I can to get this insurance forum on the top of Google. If I make coffee money along the way, so be it.
If people come here solely for the money, they would be better off picking up aluminum cans.
We need members who enjoy helping other people solve insurance related issues, in a non-professional way.
We need people who want to be a part of a growing insurance forum community.
We need people who don't always complain!
I'll get down off my soap box now. _________________

If I ever set down and figured it out I'm sure I'm making about minus 100 bucks an hour! ha ha ....It's a nice perk like you said getting coffee money and an ipod ( ) for all the effort is indeed appreciated....

Couldn't agree more...If you'll notice though the ones that some times start off with the what might be considered, meaningless remarks ( I don't toally disagree), but I think they just wanted to be 'part' of the conversation and forum, and had genuine empathy for the posters, many have grown to be terrific contributors that you can actually 'watch' grow in their insurance knowledge to a degree that they do NOW know the answers themselves and a few short months ago had no clue! And prove of great benefit to the OP's that really makes me happy when I see that....and know that this knowledge that they now share with others was gained here! That's just awesome in my opinion!
The complaining, you know as my mom used to say, 'you'd bitch if they hung you with a new rope' well there are just people like that. for whatever reason, they just MUST complain about something..and honestly I think they get them weeded out of here pretty quickly as a rule, or they stop it....No one (to my knowledge) was offered or promised a job by joining this site....and anyone planning on making a bundle (for now anyway) is in the wrong place...I personally think that this has turned into a great group of regular contributors and growing daily....and it's happened thru a 'community' of caring folks....and cannot happen with anyone looking for only the money...
Ok off my soap box too (for now! ) _________________ Have you been helped by a poster? Do you want to show your appreciation? YOU CAN !! Just simply click on the donate button and send them some coin!
I agree with you on several of your points, there are several of us here who do not work in the industry, however the industry affects our lives on a daily basis. I had issues with my insurance coverage and had through a thread here figured out the answers. What coverages I should have and etc. Then through this conversation feel that I got to know some of the people here and will conversate with them because I feel that I have gotten to know them. My insurance knowledge has increased greatly here on auto, home and healthcare coverage. I have seen other posters just like you have gain the knowledge and input as I have and am pretty proud of that growth in knowledge that I have gained and seen others gain here.
Thanks for sticking up for the persons here that don't work in the industry Lori, we appreciate it. No offense to anyone else posting here. Enjoy your coffee! and continue to do as you do, if it annoys you don't go there. I do want to thank you for your time and your knowledge, I have learned so much from you and do appreciate your input on the forums.
What Goodnatured said...lol I mostly answer the posts that come in my email ro read them anyway.I do not post comments to all that come in sometimes there is nothing for me to add on my part. I do not feel like I add worthless comments just to gain money. Maze?If you google "spell checker" you will find a nice spell checker that can be added to the right click as I have.
