Blah, Blah, Blog

Some people may have a problem with receiving payment for a blog post, but I hope they don’t hang out here.

From the very first time I heard about Pay Per Post, I thought it was a great idea.

Advertisers get to create buzz about their business.
Bloggers get to earn money doing what they do – blogging!

In my opinion, it’s no different than website owners and bloggers placing Google AdSense or other advertising on their websites to earn money. We’re in this to put food on the table and clothes on the kid’s backs, no?

Most of the blog posts I’ve read on other people’s blogs that were sponsored were still fun, informative and often led me to a cool new resource on the Internet.

As a blogger, I get to choose what topics I will write about. I’m going to pick topics that are relevant to my audience, and I’m also going to check out the website I’m getting paid to write about to make sure it’s cool.

Those are just my thoughts. What are yours?

Basics Of How To Use Pay Per Post

If you have a blog, you can monetize it several different ways. You can accept outside advertising from sponsors, you can add Google Adwords and be paid when someone clicks on one of your ads, you can put up affiliate links or ads for your own products and you can also register for a blog payment service.

PPP is a a blog payment service that will pay you to post about products, services and topics on. The payouts will generally start out at about $5 per post and they can go up from there.

Each blog payment service has specific guidelines about the blogs they will accept. Generally speaking, your blog will need to be at least 90 days old, on its own domain, you’ll need to post on a pretty regular basis (about 3 times per week) and you cannot have any lapses of 30 days with no posts.

To register for Pay Per Post, simply visit the website and fill out a form with some basic information. They will ask some questions about the type of blog you have and who your target readership is. If you are accepted, you will be notified via email.

Once you have been approved, you log into the website and see what type of opportunities are available to you. They may ask you to post 50 or 100 words in your post. You may be required to add an image, which is hosted in a server somewhere else so it won’t take up space on your web host. You just need to post a minimum amount of words and include a link to the referring website.

You will then log into PPP and let them know you have completed the assignment. You will need to give them the title of your blog post as well as the URL to that specific post. An administrator will review your post and once it is approved, your payment will follow in about 30 days. Most of these services send payment via PayPal. Once you have been paid, you can delete the post if you choose.
