AS long as forum exist, forum moderators exist.
This is because webmasters needs to block negative comments, make sure things are running smoothly and forum users are getting their questions and comments responded to.
To be a forum moderator, you would need to monitor comments posted by users, delete spam, answer questions from users, and reply to user messages. You would also encourage threads, add new content to the site, and block comments posted by people who ignore forum rules.
If you have interest in certain forums. This could be very interesting for you to do. Just like with forum posting, you also have a potential to earn a lot.
Here are some steps for you to take to be a forum moderator:
-post a profile on freelancing sites such as elance.com (search more on google)
-look for forum moderator jobs on the same freelancing sites, and apply for them
-google forum moderation job openings
-If there are forums you are interested in, check with the owner. A lot of people don't post on freelancing sites but rather prefer on hiring people who post a lot.
How much will you earn?
-depending on your role and experience, you can make anywhere from $3 to $20 an hour.
I'll soon post more about money making online.

Very interesting information, I don't know that you can be paid for moderate a forum, I'm a moderator in 2 forums, but I don't receive any payment, I do it because I like it and I participate a lot there, so the admin asked me if I wanted to became a moderator, so I have vast experience moderating in forums, maybe I can find a forum that pays to their mods and apply to earn some money.
I participate in freelancer sites, but I've never seen a moderator job there...

I search for freelancer jobs in freelancer.com and I like so much this site, I've never tried Odesk, but if I could find a moderator job there maybe I start to enter in odesk page, now I know I can make a little money being a forum moderator.
Again thanks for your comment it was so useful for me to know a new option for making money online.
best wishes...

I don't have any idea on how. i think you should contact the admin to know more about this. or pass a resume as an applicant to them.

odesk ask information for you to be able to create your resume online, it is one way for the companies to see your profile, having the information about you helps you to apply many jobs without making a resume each time you find a job that suites you.

Hello elly,
you're ONE OF THE "KIND" MY-LOTTERS I've known. Most People in mylot share their so called success and then in the end, they will asked you to view their blog and register. the rest are a bunch of GREED who kept asking for more earning sites even they are already earning more, with out sharing their own techniques of earning..not even mentioning the site themselves.
well, you have said enough, i think this is where i do my own research. thanks anyways.

I'd rather share it than keeping myself busy with making without helping others. This is a blessing to me, I just want that blessing to be shared. This kind of money making online is not just made for me but also to other people.
