Why would I sign up to PPP (PayPerPost)? Well I saw Malathy Badri’s blog Blog Avenues with a Pay Per Post widget on it. And I thought that it is a pretty good idea. Not really to make money from this blog - but wouldn’t that be nice? Imagine securing a John Chow salary from surfing the net and writing about stuff that you think is cool and you would be doing anyhow, while touring the world! Hmmm, must stop dreaming.
I thought that I might be able to offer to write reviews about people’s blogs/products etc for free. However PPP take a cut and the minimum they allow me to charge is $5.
If anybody would like me to write about something, then please click the link above and lets find out how useful this PPP service really is! I don’t know how applicable this will be for this particular blog - but I will find it interesting to find out what the market is like.
Some of the PPP “opportunities” seem a little odd to me, like $8 to “blog about my restaurant”? Not sure if that is value for money for the restaurant, but it probably costs a lot less to get a good review from a blogger than a crappy review from a restaurant critic? You’d probably get better coverage as well.
Well, I’ll see if there is anything to this soon!
Update: I’ve removed the link, I’m not doing PPP. Though it seems like a good idea if you are monetizing your blog. It is not a good fit for this blog.
