picture-4-950x1024

If you've ever checked out PayPerPost, you know that the current system shows lists of paid post 'opportunities' and it's up to the bloggers to grab the opps on a first-come, first-served basis. Well, all of that is about to change. PayPerPost has taken three years' worth of user feedback and completely redesigned the model from the ground up. Say hello to PayPerPost v4.0: I haven't seen the advertiser side, but the blogger side is unlike anything PayPerPost has ever done before.  The blogger completes a very quick and easy sign-up form including setting their OWN PRICE for sponsored links and their price PER WORD for a paid post.  The blogger's profile also includes their desired category and a list of keywords related to their site. This helps match up the best advertisers for each blogger. Best of all,  with the new PayPerPost, bloggers can choose for themselves whether they want the sponsored link(s) in each post to be Follow or NoFollow. Google prefers … [Read more...]

Say it loud, say it proud…IZEA

meetingpppinchicago

In March of 2007, I made a decision that affected me and this blog-I joined PayPerPost. I found not only a way to earn money from blogging, but also a community of people who supported and encouraged me. The CEO of PayPerPost, Ted Murphy, then combined PayPerPost, Zookoda (which provides a subscription email service), SocialSpark (social networking and paid blog opportunities), and the Blogger's Choice Awards (among others) into one organization called IZEA. I have always been proudly outspoken about being a "Postie", and now I have an amazing opportunity to become an "IZEA Insider". As an Insider, I would spread the word about IZEA products and services, give feedback to the company, work to help grow and strengthen the community, and help with products and new innovations. How cool is that? I would get my own "crew" of bloggers to lead, too! I want new as well as current bloggers to know that IZEA has sites and services that can help all of us grow and improve. Why would I make … [Read more...]
