Opportunity: Pay Per Post

Pay per Post is a fabulous opportunity for people who'd like to make some extra cash at home. In fact, it is probably one of the easiest AND most lucrative ways to earn money online. See the end of this post for easy signup!

The premise of Pay per Post is simple: you sign up, review opportunities, and choose advertisers that are suitable for your blog. Then you blog about them and include a link to their site.

There are a few requirements. Your blog has to be 90 days old and have posts appearing on a fairly regular schedule. Some advertisers want you to have a particular Google pagerank in order to participate. Most require you to include certain things in a post, and can be rather particular about it.

That said, most posts need to be 100 words or less. (To give you some indication, this post reached 100 words in the middle of the "Your blog has to be 90 days old" sentence.) A few want 200 words, but many want just 50! In any case, each post takes just 5-10 minutes to create. You also MUST post a "regular", non-sponsored post both before and after any sponsored post. This requirement keeps your blog relevant and readable. Nobody wants to sign on and read nothing but commercials! For this same reason, you are limited to three posts per day. Most opportunities range from a $5 to a $12 payout.

There are also a few opportunities for video postings, which pay considerably more.

Payment on your posts is delayed, but for good reason. When you post, you need to tell PPP where the post is. They take a couple of days to investigate and make sure that you've followed the advertiser's instructions. If you didn't, or you didn't follow PPP's guidelines, your post will be rejected. However, the rejection letters are very nice; and PPP allows you to correct the error and re-submit the post. Once your post is approved, PPP waits 30 days and checks it again. Assuming the text of your post has not changed, they will release payment to you (via paypal). This prevents abuse of the system by writing posts, getting approval/payment, and then deleting it off your blog. Advertisers need some way of ensuring they're getting their money's worth!

I signed up for PPP on January 31st (5 days ago). As of this very minute, I've got $96.50 in pending posts. By the time I get my other 2 posts for today done, I'll have over $100 in five days. I'll have worked less than 3 hours to do it. That works out to over $33 an hour.

Since your posts are limited to three per day, there are limits to this system. However, at minimum you should be able to do 3 five dollar posts a day. Assuming you work at this five days a week (you can work seven if you like), you will bring in $75 a week, or an average of around $325 per month. That's a lot of groceries... or a weekend getaway... or money to save for Christmas.
