Get Paid to Blog

Will.Spencer · 08-09-2006, 04:36 PM

PayPayPost is a new (i.e. Beta) system where you can sign up and get paid to post to your own blog.

The average rate seems to be around $5 for a blog post. If a blog post takes about 15 minutes to write, that equals out to $20/hr.

Do you blog? What do you think?

Will, this is a very interesting service I had just read through their site. Do you use this yourself? Any feedback on it?

I'll probably sign-up for an account and give it a go.

I'm trying it right now, from an advertisers standpoint.

I haven't tried it yet as a publisher, but I keep thinking about it.

Looks nice .. Atleast they pay via paypal

But will they accept any kinda article or post.. ( I mean does the post needs to get some comments or something like that) for payment to be made ?

Also they checkout once in 30 days ...that's a long time :???:

The post has to be on the topic which the advertisers purchases.

The advertiser can also request either a direct link or a tracking link.

Lastly, the advertisers can also request that a photo be included.

Thanx ... !
It can be real fun for true writer and many other pro.s !

I might try getting into it

I just think it's a great way for people to make money from their blog's.

yeah !
Also i think i will not be able to use blogspot for long....! ( Also they don't pay me to blog there....unless i use adsense)

Here i have one more question !

Indian government has asked all ISP (Indian ) to block blogspot ( If i am not wrong ) ...But i still have complete access to blogspot...

I heard it from many Indian DP members that they can not access blogspot anymore.

Thanx

I would never recommend building a blog on someone elses domain, because then all of the backlinks that you earn will always belong to them. If I'm going to work that hard, I want to build the value of a domain that I actually own.

The Indian government ordered the Indian ISP's to block access to a whole bunch of domains, then they later reduced the list significantly. Unfortunately, the ISP's are having some difficulty implementing the requests made by the Indian government. It's easy to block IP address ranges in your routers, it's more difficult to block individual domains. It's quite difficult to block individual pages on a domain.

I've posted more on the Indian censorship issue at India blocks access to blogspot, Geocities, and TypePad.

I wonder if I need a blog... Ive been running my site for three years with little success

Will.Spencer · 08-19-2006, 05:58 AM

I'm not sure that a blog would be the best solution for your site.

Instead, I would recommend looking through The Internet Search Engines FAQ for ideas on how to improve your traffic from the search engines.
