PeyPerPost – Making money the easy way

By on April 26th, 2008

About 3 months ago, a friend of mine convinced me to start writing a blog. Don’t get the wrong idea. I wasn’t gonna stay everyday and write about my life. My plan was to write some posts based on articles, reviews, pictures or videos I find interesting on the Internet. I thought of a name for the domain name, found a place to host my website and I started to post articles I found interesting.

Unfortunately, I was inconsistent in my writing, my posts being one at every 5-6 days or more and sometimes 2-3 per day. I hope from now on I’ll be more consistent in my writing. And why shouldn’t be?! I found a great “motivation”, if may call it so. It’s called PayPerPost.com.

Basically, I get paid for posting on my blog. It’s a direct marketplace between bloggers and advertisers. It has a beautiful and intuitive interface. Everything is very clear and at a glance you already feel familiarized with the website.

What can you do to be able to be paid for your writing? It’s very simple. All you have to do is to go to http://www.payperpost.com, in the top right corner there is a text link that says Get Started!, when you click it, a modal window pops-up asking you to choose the type of the account you want to create. You can choose between three choices: blogger, advertiser and affiliate. You want to be a blogger to get paid for your posts, so select blogger and click OK. Fill in the form, don’t be scarred, it’s not huge! It requires a minimum of info to get you started.

After that, you go to your blogger account to add your blog. It will be reviewed and approved if your blog meets the requirements.

Basically, your blog must:

        * Be at least 30 days old, with at least 10 pre-existing posts written in the last 30 days.
        * Have chronological archives.
        * Contain content that is original to you and the blog.
        * Be a text/written content blog, meaning no message boards, websites, IM, photoblogs, vlogs, etc.
        * Have only one author.
        * Not include ‘no follow’ tags.
        * Be a blog written in the English language. We do make note of any blogs submitted in other languages so we may share those as we encounter Advertisers seeking them.
        * Not be a blog kept primarily for earning money.

When your blog gets approved, you will receive an mail notifying you that you can go to your opportunities to start writing you posts.

If you get stuck, there’s a video section with tutorials to help you through the tasks you want to do and are unsure of how to get them done. On this note, there is a ticket system for you post your problems, if any, to the support team. You’ll get a fast response guiding you through whatever problem you encounter or question you must ask.

I did all of this things and now, I’m about to post my first article from the opportunities section. I hope it will get approved to keep my spirit up
