As I mentioned in passing yesterday, I’ve come up with what should be a fairly fool-proof plan to encourage myself to blog more frequently. And that plan involves one word with three syllables (or, more accurately, three words fused together in a sort of primordial portmanteau): PayPerPost.
I’ve been considering signing up for a program like PayPerPost for quite some time now, and when my own mother recently jumped on the bandwagon, I figured it couldn’t hurt for me to give it a try. As I see it, it’s a great way to encourage myself to blog more frequently. How so, asks you? Fantastic question. Here are answers three:
- PayPerPost works by connecting advertisers with bloggers who can create buzz about their products. Bloggers are then compensated monetarily for their efforts. In other words, I can make money just by blogging. And money is a pretty powerful incentive at times. Most times.
- However, PayPerPost also recognizes that blogs consisting of nothing but promotional articles don’t carry a lot of weight in the blogosphere. So they have a wonderfully insightful restriction already in place: promotional posts must be preceded and followed by non-promotional articles. Thus, if I want to get paid with any frequency, I also need to be writing non-promotional articles at least as often. Pretty smart, neh?
- The promotional opportunities on their website are constantly changing. Every time I log in, there will be new options. And what I’ve found so far is, as I read through the list of things advertisers want people to write about, little ideas for articles that I could write start firing off in my brain. The opportunity list is also an idea list. Suddenly, I find myself with more ideas for entertaining posts than I’ve had in a long time.
In other words, things are looking up for good old robglazebrook.com. Assuming you wanted to hear a lot out of me, at least. And if you’d like to give PayPerPost a try yourself, just click here (or on the ad in the right sidebar). You’ll get paid to blog… and I’ll get a referral bonus. :)
