Does Online Ad Posting Jobs Real? Can You Make Money From It?

Ad posting has become a hotbed for online job scams. Still, many people who want easy money are interested in this job. Some companies or groups of people are known as genuine, as they likely pay their clients. 

But, in 2024, is this job still relevant? Do people can make money from it?

Let’s understand whether a real online ad-posting job is real or fake;

Although online ad-posting jobs are controversial, you can still find some companies that are likely to pay their clients. But it’s hard to tell how long they can pay.

The idea of an online “ad posting job” has emerged from the rapid growth of classified websites and the popularity of online advertisement. Yes, online classified advertising has captured most of the real estate, local services, and local product reselling-related ads market. However, this facility is only for buyers and sellers. Any job creation depending on free classified ad posting is entirely illogical. 

Promoting business online with free classified ads is a good idea. But, running a business model that pays people to post classified ads is not a good idea. This is because free classified ads generally have a lower business conversion rate than paid ads.

Still, if someone spends money on a workforce to post free classified ads for his business, why is he not spending money on paid classified ads or another online advertising campaign like Google Ads or Meta Ads? 

Therefore, paying a workforce from the revenue generated by the posted ads is quite impossible.

How ad-posting jobs work;

You can divide ad posting jobs into two categories-

1. Direct Scam: Scammers offer high payouts for simple tasks in this category. They mainly offer a fascinating income in return for joining fees. After collecting the joining fees, scammers never reply.
2. Indirect Scam: In this category, scammers also ask for joining fees, but the company might pay job seekers for a certain period. Ultimately, the company imposes illogical terms and conditions that make it impossible to recoup the joining fees. This type of company earns from joining fees. 

It’s very easy to figure out a direct scam. But you can’t tell whether a company is a scam or not if it pays the job seekers initially. I believe the second category is the most dangerous because a person will lose money, time, and confidence.

Conclusion:

After considering everything, ad posting can be profitable for a person if they run their own business on classified websites. However, working long as part of the ad posting workforce is almost impossible. So, there is no such ad-posting job provider company that is 100 per cent genuine.
