Pay Per Post

Posted by Matthew Berman On December - 18 - 2006

I have been reading lately that Pay Per Post has made many low-traffic bloggers some pretty decent money. John Chow has recently written an article about the highest paying ad network for low-traffic blogs. Step aside adsense, Pay Per Post definitely takes the lead on this.

Before going any further, I would like to state that this is not a paid post. I currently am monetizing my blog with two ad networks, and adding a third way to make money with this site just seems like stepping over the line between a blog and a billboard.

I will be testing the value of Pay Per Post. I am not a huge fan of whoring my site out to advertisements, but this is more like an experiment. One of my next posts coming soon will be a Pay Per Post. I will clearly label it to make sure everyone knows I am not trying to pedal a random company.

Now a little about the companies product. Advertisers pay bloggers such as myself to write about their product. One main point I don’t like is that some advertisers require you to review their product in a positive light. All campaigns are marked which can be positive or negative and which can just be positive. I have heard of many people who make pretty decent money using this service. At $5-$10 per post (50-100 words), I would have to write many articles to consider having made a “good profit.”

There is no harm in trying however. I will try to get a paid post out by the end of the week. Hopefully my readers arent too offended and they understand this will only be a test and not a continuing thing. If anyone has already experimented with this, please comment how it worked for you.
