Posting for hosting would you?

[emadiba]

hi there Guys,

Im gona be launching yet another forum soon and was thinking of a diff incentive.

Would you post on a forum to get free hosting?
What I mean is that I would have a rule that you would need to make a minimum of 50 quality Posts a month to qualify for your free hosting.

looking foward to the responce

:wave:

 

[Prosperous]

I would not.

 

[Scott]

I wouldn't either.

 

[Morph]

I have tried this concept before, didnt work for me

 

[Rudy]

Yeah, I wouldn't be interested in this either - I don't see the advantage, with so many free hosts out there, and then with so many offering really cheap hosting.

This concept is pretty widely used on the internet. When you're dealing with the free hosting crowd you're dealing with people who want free stuff. There are plenty of free hosts on the net who don't require anything more than signing up to get hosting. However, a few forums have met success but I think you'd be entering in a free hosting niche that is saturated at this point. I'd try to approach things from a different angle if you want to offer free hosting.

I wouldn't either, I'd much more likely post for $$ or domains (or merchendise) than hosting...

 

[se]

me too..i would not..

 

[Sabre]

Looks like a resounding "NO!" then :p

 

[GJ]

Nope, not from me!

 

[axilant]

Nope. Reason: Free isnt quality.

 

[Scott]

Looks like a resounding "NO!" then :p

Don't forget the kind of audience he's asking, though - most of us can afford hosting. Go to a non-business, non-professional forum, and I'm sure the response would be different.

 

[ThreeD]

I wouldn't either

Good point btw Scott!

first of all, its already being done on webpages like: www.post4hosting.com/forums/
second, 50 posts per month is rediculous and you wont have any members but yourself that can keep up with that. You would have to drop it to like 5-10 posts per month.
