What Are Your Thoughts on Paid to Post Forums

[Ja sa bong]

Honestly, I think running a paid-to-post forum is a financial burden for the owner. How can you sustain it and pay all the members? What if the advertising money isn’t generating enough income to pay the users?

Unless there are multiple streams of revenue coming in for the forum, it’s hard to sustain.

It is a very big financial burden to the owner because you will have to pay from your pocket especially if you have a lot of people who are contributing on your community on daily basis. This is the reason why a lot of them end up shutting down along the way.

It can be hard to maintain a post to paid forum, that is why many forum owners end up disappointing their members. Even if it’s not paid to post those that will be active will be active. You can reward your members occasionally and surprise them, as long as your pocket permits.

As much as I do like the idea of pay-to-post forums, it seems most always end up in the same situation and that is closing down due to the owner not being able to keep up with the financial burden that occurs.

I don't think that pay-to-post forums can't work, I just feel they need to be started with a plan of how you will keep going financially should you hit any roadblocks.
