I’m New To PayPerPost, And It’s Grand

So, my wife came home for lunch this afternoon a little frustrated. I’ve seen this before, and it’s about the same thing. I am now working from home and I’m ecstatic but trying to keep it inside a bit. My wife still has to do a short commute to work each day.

Plus, she’s bored with her job.

So, we talked about what she could do as a job to make some money. I told her I had been watching the opportunities on PayPerPost and tried explaining how it works. She was a little confused, but I think she got it in the end. But, to prove that money can be made, I figured I’d do a little sponsored blogging myself.

This post happens to be one of those sponsored articles (sponsored by PPP), but the beautiful thing is that it doesn’t have to be all cheeky. However, how could I not be happy about making money while blogging? It’s great! Plus, I get to choose to drive traffic to the companies and websites that I want to. It’s my choice.

I just wrote a post for $35 that took me about 20 minutes to write. This one is taking me about 15 minutes tops and I’ll get paid about $20 for it.

At that rate, even with some research and extra editing thrown in on some of the longer or more involved articles, I could be making an average of $15-20 per article. Let’s call it $30 per hour or so. That’s not bad!

If I didn’t want to work with the people I am currently with, I may even try to see if there is enough inventory in PPP or other networks like it to make an honest living doing it full time. It’s definitely a good alternative to having to go into the office every day.

And, as a side note, with our plans of getting mobile and living in France in about a year or so, this is definitely a viable alternative to working full time. I’ll be watching to see how the money flows in, but I have high hopes.

    What are your thoughts on PPP for Advertisers? I would love to hear your view from a writers perspective.

    I haven’t tried advertising on PPP. Personally, it just doesn’t seem to make financial sense for me since I don’t have a product that fits. I could give it a go, but honestly, I don’t make much money from this blog, so I don’t really have much to point PPP people to.

    If I were to be an advertiser on PPP or other similar programs, I would definitely look for and pay for only those people with a PR 4 or 5 and above. Anything less is a waste of time and money. Plus, make sure you’re having people who write within your industry talk about you. Otherwise the SEO you get from it is negligible.
