Yeah, they should really focus on earning good revenue. That will enable them to earn enough to pay the users and still earn from the site.

Yes, they need revenue to survive. However, when most of the traffic to these sites come from the regular members, CPC and CPM ads do not work.

Site owners always feel like the initial high pay will attract members. Yes it does. However, when there's a lot more, you find that the high payment isn't sustainable. What they should be doing is to make a projection of months. Can't this amount of revenue pay even if I have 1000 members the next year?
Those are the kind of strategies sites should be making. They don't have to start off being too generous with their pay. Along the line, they can add the rate if it gets better.

I also noticed that many paid-to-post sites try to lure users by offering high reward, however, they cannot sustain the paay model and reduce the rate. When the pay rate is reduced users begin to desert the site and the site dies too early.

I started posting on paid to post site in December 2020. I was earning really well until Bizdusty cut the pay rate. I was just beginning to be active in Trendri and it stopped the reward program. Both of these paid to post sites were popular and were paying high. However, they say the site was suffering financially.

How can a paid to post site survive?

They survive via adverts on their websites, there are several factors that can make them reduce their earnings

[sprite1950]

I've never ever come across a site that hasn't cut it's pay rates once it becomes popular. It stands to reason that if they are paying a lot more people they are going to have to cut the rates to survive. People always seem surprised for some reason

[Mika]

Instead of paying high in the beginning and later cutting the pay rate, why not start low and increase the pay rate when the site beings earn better revenue. When you are paying high, you are likely to attract a lot of spammers.

It's really important for such websites to find sponsors. Also they must know how to make maximum money from the ads. The more number of ads they allow to put on their websites the more revenue they will be able to generate.

[Netherrealmer]

Members please for the love of God give love and dedication to your post. Stop making posts that are useless for the sake on money. A member just got sent a warning because a sponsor got angered by that member

Forums need to have rules and guidelines and stick by them. Most people are only interested in the money so what they post is trash. To stand the test of time you must be able to handle and do away with those that are not contributing to the growth of the forum in any way.

Sponsers pay decent to the forum site owners , and the Ads as well keep the site alive. The popular forums are Forumcoin , BMF as of my knowledge , they earn from advertisers and sponsers.

Maybe one more idea to survive is to take on account to add the cryptocurrencies payment method to Paypal. But not cryptocurrencies exposed to shamefully gas fees as eth or bitcoin or USDT (better are litecoin, bitcoin cash or dash). Maintaining both Paypal and cryptocurrencies methods would attract users with different needs to maintain the site active and visited. Visits increase ads income.

[Mika]

More than payment options, what ultimately matters is revenue generation. The site needs to generate enough revenue so that it can continue to pay the users.

[Pousinha]

Unfortunately advertising services added to webmasters' site only pay crumbs. It looks like explotation (if I don't mistake) due to those poor payments, unless the owners of the advertising services are poor in its turn.

[Mika]

The forum need to grow very big before it can bring good sponsors. Look at Beer Forum, you can see a lot of sponsorships

[ranamal]

They are from ads, traffic exchange, sponsors, many more but it is really hard to at beginning of the site need to wait some time for earnings

[arunima]

Most of the high paying forums either cut down the pay rates or just shut down. Seems like high payment is not a good way ti sustain the site. These forums need to have enough revenues to share with their users. High pay rates might not be the pragmatic way to do so

[Mika]

Actually, paid to post model for forums is not very profitable for forum owners as well. It is really had to generate income from a website especially a website like forums that do not have ever green content

[Netherrealmer]

Members need to follow rules, Bubblews lost its google adsense because of plagiarizer members.

[Mika]

One of the major drawbacks of running a user generated content site is the quality and originality of the content. If the members do not publish original and goo quality posts, your site will collapse.

[Netherrealmer]

That's why members needs to neg low quality posts and plagiarism to discourage them.
