Have you been blogging for dollars? Many bloggers have caught onto the opportunity for working as a publisher for companies such as PayPerPost, aka PPP because it’s an easy way to help support some of the expenses to keep your blogs floating!
While there are many other programs online that offer bloggers the opportunity to earn some money from publishing, I personally feel that PayPerPost from my experience has one of the best, if not the best program out there.
Some of the other ones that I’ve participated in have the potential to make more money from an offer, however where are the offers? Then there are other advertising companies that offer a simple $5.00 per published ad to the blogger, and one of which I made a nice sum from in 2006. However, toward the later part of last year and the early part of this year that other company never seems to have any offers except for the same ones over and over again! It became quite boring.
So, yes by now I’m sure you’ve figured out I’m getting paid for this post! But, to be frank with you I would not be posting this on my blog if I didn’t feel they were a good company to publish for!
So, how much money have you made from blogging for dollars through PayPerPost’s program? Before you answer that question, there is no wrong answer, and before you respond I’ll share how much I’ve made from publishing ads with PayPerPost. By the time you add up this advertisement as well as one other one I completed on one of my other blogs, I’ve only made a total of $300.00 and over 90% of that was earned last year.
There are many of you who have made a ton more than that with publishing advertisements. For me though, I’m quite particular about which ads I’ll take for my blogs. I really don’t want my blogs to look like a big advertising billboard, so that’s why I’m quite picky.
Speaking of picky, the advertisers as you know have also become pickier with which blog domains, page rank and Alexa rank their advertisements are published on, which I totally respect. Expenses for blog marketing have to be budgeted like any other business expense so again I certainly understand their need for being particular with where the money goes.
That also explains why I’ve not earned that much by being a postie! I only began blogging roughly a year ago and like many bloggers I began on a free domain, which is where my other two blogs are currently. Although I do have a goal to relocate those blogs to my own domain, it isn’t a pressing issue for my life at the moment but should be soon. That will then increase my opportunities for offers once the blog domain gains page rank and traffic.
One last point I nearly forgot! I’m supposed to state what my plans are for the money I made as a PayPerPost postie! Would it be safe to say you may have already guessed that I spent the money in that it is only $300.00? Yes, you’re right I did spend it nearly as fast as it came in. 2006 was a rough year at our household so those funds came in handy at a much needed time to provide for well – nothing fancy!
