Signature Line and Avatar Rental
I’ve been noticing a growing trend in some of the forums I frequent. People are renting their signature lines (links) as well as their avatar.
I recently sold my avatar image on Digital point for $8.00 for one month. I guess there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s a good way to advertise, and when enough people have the same avatar it created a bit of a buzz around the forum.
Signature line rentals are also getting popular, although mine aren’t for sale. I think they are too valuable to me to let someone else use.
Obviously, the higher your post count, the more you may be able to charge for rental.
I am beginning to ponder the possibility of soliciting a few rentals from some of my other forums I visit.

Seems like everything is for rent these days. With M$ sending out laptops trying to drag bloggers their way, it makes you wonder what’s next. I’m still on the fence about the “pay per blog” rush that’s going on but the internet has always been compared to the “Wild West” so I guess these sorts of “gold rushes” are completely appropriate.

I haven’t heard about them sending out laptops! Where can I get mine?

Get one of those coveted “top 20″ spots on Digg or Delicious or Reddit and then you might get noticed. All the kids are doing it.

I have been doing the pay per post thingee on a popular site. I kind of like it but recently there have become more disclosure stipulations. Making posts more like ads than actual content.
