PostingDirect uses a prepaid budget system for Payment. It
makes things simple; you do not get more posts than what you pay for. We will
never have to run after you with unpaid bills because you pay for everything
before hand. And you will never go over how much you want to spend. You can
thank hundreds of dollars of bandwidth server overages we had to pay as they
were the inspiration of this system.
Anyway, this is how it works: You put in
money into your account. Let’ss say, $100. Your Forum Job Information is now
displayed for forum posters to see. It will continue to stay there as posters
assign themselves to post on your forum and take the money they are owed for the
posts. Once your money is gone (or less than the minimum payment is left), no
new posters will be able to take the job. To better illustrate, let’ss continue
with our example. We will call the forum "Bob’ss Cooking Talk" and we will set
Posting Per Job at 50.

Bob’ss Cooking Talk is now listed under Available Posting Jobs for Forum
Posters.
Forum Poster ’sjoe2ba’s, who has
reputation, logs into his Forum Poster’ss Account and sees Bob’ss Cooking Talk.
He’ss ecstatic to find a cooking forum because he is studying culinary arts in
college. He takes the job.
Bob now has ($100 - (50 posts * $.30 per post)) = $85 left in his account.
Five more posters sign up for the job: 5
and 2
;
which totals up $80. Bob now has $5 in his account.
Since $5 is less than even if he were to get a
poster, his listing is taken off and no more posters will be assigned to his
forum until he makes another deposit.
Bob has spent $95 and received 400 posts, averaging $.24 per post.
