Should I outsource forum posts?

I have been making a few preliminary forum posts in preparation for an upcoming launch, and it's pretty time consuming really, has anyone outsourced this kind of work, and what happened? (I think I'd be more OK if it was only forum posts made under a pen name which were outsourced...)

    Yeah that is a great way to interact with a community and build a reputation.

    Yes, you could outsource this but don't get caught...

    At least if you are talking about the Warriorforum.

    No, seriously, you should not do that.

      If the posts are filled with quality, and not promotion. It's fine. Usually the link is in the signature.

    So did you write this post yourself or outsource it? :rolleyes:

    I think you could also just hire a VA to write and then submit as well if you have the money? I've used a VA in the past (contract based) so only used them for 3 months, and just give them a list of things to do for the month with a schedule. Forums posts was one of them, and it was good. I recommend it but you need to have a good process in place for them to take over, and get the links to the threads they are posting in every day.

    You can outsource it but make sure that the comments posted by your contractors add value and don't come across as spammy, as this can easily backfire on your launch if your comments have a spammy appeal.

      I believe if you're caught doing it on this forum you'll get banned.

      A lot of new folks here may not be aware of that.
