The job is very simple and this is exactly what you will be doing:

You will create several accounts at a forum then post new topics and reply to old ones to help build content.

You must be smart, have knowledge with navigating forums, be a fast worker and able to create good starter topics to entice new users to post.

We expect an absolute minimum of 35 posts/threads per hour but would like to see more. Also the posts/threads must be able to entice new users to post so it cannot be simple statements.

You will have to work at home, school, or wherever you use the Internet. Pay is $6/hr and the hours vary from week to week. Per hour amount will go up depending on your speed and content quality. This is a part time job right now. We pay via PayPal so you must have a PayPal account.

If you are interested please respond with the following:

- Subjects/Interests you are knowledgeable in.
- Forum experience.

Thanks!

Why pay actual people when spam bots would be so much more effective?

I think you guys paid Bruce to piss people off and make them post.  Then traffic picked up enough so you fired/banned him.

We tried, but he wouldn't take kicks in the groin and forcefed razor blades for pay.

I really like how they expect "an absolute minimum of 35 posts/threads per hour." That's about 30 seconds to write a new post, 45 seconds to look around and read other posts, 15 seconds spent loading pages, 15 seconds to think of something to say.  At $6 an hour.

I really like how they expect "an absolute minimum of 35 posts/threads per hour." That's about 5 seconds to write "First post!", 2 seconds to look around and read other posts, 15 seconds spent loading pages, 2 seconds to write "Bump".  At $6 an hour.

fixed that a bit.

It does seem like the kind of job from which it would be fun to get yourself fired.

If you make enough accounts and can split personality yourself enough, he'll never guess who posted the winger grief pics.

35 posts an hour? Even when I was bored off my ass at my desk job I barely put up 20 a day. That's seriously way too much posting for anything remotely, "intelligent".

Maybe we can just mirror useless news there. Take the $6/hr and make contests out of it. Shockeye would be so proud if this subforum could generate the dollarz.

Just wait, you'll find out they are paying you in Confederate money.
