Hi

I am not sure if this is in the wrong section or the right section but i wanted to know if there is a service in BHW that people will write posts or topics for a starting forum ?

what is your suggestions or advise on getting the forum going ?

Most content writers charge per word, so if you need a bunch of shorter forum posts, any content writer should be able to provide those to you for their regular per-word costs. Generally, it's a good idea for you to come up with the thread titles or at least keywords to use in the thread titles so that you can increase the amount of SERP traffic from longtail KWs.

If the content writer(s) don't want to do the actual posting, hourly VAs will certainly take you up on the offer. Should be able to have your writer prepare the forum posts in a spreadsheet organized by thread title, username, and so on, then give that to the VAs.

There's presumably some kind of admin panel/plugin to let you manage posts for your own forums through multiple accounts, which would make this easier than actually having you/the VAs make posts like normal users. There's probably even an import from CSV/XLSX/Whatever solution that would do all the posting/"posting" with specified usernames, backdated post dates, etc.

wow amazing answer !!!! very helpful !!!

i would like to understand this part "Generally, it's a good idea for you to come up with the thread titles or at least keywords to use in the thread titles so that you can increase the amount of SERP traffic from longtail KWs."

let say i have the keywords already in a spreadsheet and the website is a news website... i have integrated a tab in the news website which is the Forum, the steps that i want to know is i guess these if i am correct and if you can give your feedback on this :

1.) The forum is created, the categories are created.
2.)setting up a plugin that is going to credit or give points for each post ? is there a plugin you can suggest ?
3.)Have a plugin banner indicating people can get paid .5 .10cents every post ?
4.)If they create a topics or a post then i can have a bot manage and replace the titles with the keywords like you mentioned ?

I dont think its worth it for me to pay someone which is going to cost alot for around 200 posts or topics from different created usernames ?

what is the best route i can take ?

thanks again

Generally, it's a good idea for you to come up with the thread titles or at least keywords to use in the thread titles so that you can increase the amount of SERP traffic from longtail KWs.

Forums tend to have a lot of pages instead of a small number of focused/targeted pages. Instead of making a small number of blog posts that you use to target hard keywords for over a longer timeframe, it's generally a good idea to make a bunch of posts focused on longtail/easy to rank keywords.

1.) The forum is created, the categories are created.

Great.

2.)setting up a plugin that is going to credit or give points for each post ? is there a plugin you can suggest ?

If by "credit" you mean "post under a specific username," then yes. And if by "points" you mean upvotes/thumbs up/whatever, then also yes. Other people have made new forums and needed to add content to them initially, so there's surely some plugin out there to set up some fake/"fake" posts to get your forum started off. I have no idea what specific one would do this.

3.)Have a plugin banner indicating people can get paid .5 .10cents every post ?

You could do it, but that would make your forum seem very spammy. Go post on the https://www.blackhatworld.com/forums/hire-a-freelancer.76/ if you want paid content posting.

4.)If they create a topics or a post then i can have a bot manage and replace the titles with the keywords like you mentioned ?

Yes, you can edit posts made by users on your own forum. I wouldn't recommend keyword stuffing real users' posts, but yes, you might make some touchups to posts from your VAs.
