I signed up with Pay Per Post so I could test them out because the purpose of this blog is to help you make money on your blog and blog marketing is one of the big ways to do it. I’ve done a few paid posts for them and I have a bit of feedback.

There are a couple things I really like about PPP, most importantly being the way you accept a job. There are some sponsored review sites that require you to bid and then then wait for the advertiser to accept, decline, or counter your offer. This pretty much results in hundreds of offers out there for nothing. Another allows you 3-7 days to complete a job, in which time procrastinators like me could forget. I really like the way you reserve a job and do it right away.

I’m also extremely delighted with the higher amounts I see offered. They have some places offering $350+ for a blog review. My site isn’t nearly that calibre yet, but I hope to someday be doing well enough and to have enough readers to deserve these jobs.

I’ve only found a few things so far I feel uncomfortable with, but that may change over time. I don’t like that they don’t give you a link to visit the site before you reserve it. However, reserving doesn’t mean you have to do it. And there was one review where you had to make a video, I didn’t quite understand it but I don’t think I’d like to create a video for an advertiser (not for $15, anyway).

I’ve decided I will split any money earned two ways. 1/2 it will go back into the website and the other 1/2 will go into my boys’ savings accounts. Their savings accounts need the lift and I hope to have a great contest here on TBW within the next month or so!

Are you using PPP? Tell me your experiences.

A lot of people have gotten on Pay Per Post, but I haven’t yet. I’m not entirely sure why, but I hadn’t tried it. So I decided if I was going to list is as a possible way to make money I needed to get an idea how it works. I’ve signed up for Pay Per Post and I’m currently waiting to be accepted.

I did notice that people have images on their websites for PPP Direct. It’s on a lot of websites and the image isn’t too attractive. So I thought I might mention that with PPP you can customize the image you use to match your design, or just to look better. Jenny, over at The So Called Me, has her own custom PPP Direct image and I’ve noticed that it is much more attractive and less bothersome than the image they provide.

If you’re using the image PPP provides for you, consider that you may sell more direct posts by using your own custom image.

As you know I’m always trying to teach people not only how to make money but a lot of people have been asking me about passive income. Now I’m personally would love to make money from passive income. (Those who don’t know what passive income means, it means a site that generates money on its own without needing updating.)

I’ve come across a site that does teach you that as well. Its a program that costs a one time fee of $97 called Review Site Dollars the best part is when you call the 800 number there is only one option to speak to someone by pressing one. Its the owner Steven Glazer.

The site not only does most of the work for you all you have to do is sign up for the affiliate program and it generates the page for you. And even if you don’t sign up hell you can make money just from their affiliate system. So its two ways to earn income.

Sponsored Post (plus good information for you guys!)

Now I want to talk about examples of websites who sell things and the pros and cons and I thought that this website would be a perfect example.

digital picture frame

Now when you goto the site it is great for purchasing limited number of frames. I have been looking into converting to a digital frame since I really own no hand held pictures anymore. I guess I am not as “ol skool” as I thought. But the website is nice for people who want to find cool picture frames like that.

These types of sites that sell products like this should have a blog which shows how twos or offers free scenery pictures in the website. If you’re thinking about selling an online product adding more to the site than just the frames it self will work good.

Niches like selling specific products are a good source of revenue and since these are still really new its important to offer a little more to your customers.

They offer a MAC looking frame which I absolutely love so for Mac Users lets match :) but seriously. This is a good example of a beginner niche store. They offer interactivity between the user and the product offering multiple pictures, as well as online help thats actually available which is nice. I tested it out just to see if they put me on hold and I actually got through to a person. Miracles happen, whenever I use the livehelp at other places it tells me they are available all agents are busy.

The only con besides limited stock is the “z” on their name. It isn’t cute :\

But if you are looking for a digital picture frame it is a nice place to buy them.
