I signed up for payperpost! Well I signed up like 3 weeks or a month ago, but I finally got approved. Must be due to their backlog that it took them so long to approve my blog. I just got the notification last night, 7th November 2007.
Why did I do that? Well I have seen some blogs sporting the nice fancy "HIRE ME" badge, and wondered what it was. I followed the links and it brought me to Pay Per Post. I read up on their offers, their methods and payment and so on. It sounded good, so I signed up.
Besides, looking at some sites like Uncle Sha's, he seem to be doing all right for himself. I am just hoping to generate a little extra cash. After all, a little extra cash doesn't hurt :)
For one thing, I'm glad I registered my own domain. It'll be a bit easier to get the "open opportunities" posts. Sometimes I think it's pretty biased that the sponsors specify that "blogspot.com" and "wordpress.com" blogs are not eligible. I think it's unfair of them since not everyone wants/are able to afford their own domain, or get a domain that they really want.
When I first saw the open market section I was actually thrilled. Some of the stuff they offer there, I had wanted to write about (but somehow didn't get around to doing it). Now that there's "monetary incentives" involved, perhaps I'll finally get of my rear-end and actually put pen-to-paper, as it were (or is it 'finger to keyboard' now?).
With the recent uproar about Nuffnang, and the actions of Advertlets, I'm just wondering if Pay Per Post might be a better alternative. Or perhaps, a secondary, parallel alternative. After all, serving ads is one thing, being able to write about something you love/hate and getting paid for it is another!
In any case, if I ever do make heaps of money off Pay Per Post, all you pingsters can enjoy a sumptous dinner on me :)

i've gotten my PPP approval too but dunno whether to turn my blog into something, like a splog... -_- -
FoxTwo @ Wednesday, November 07, 2007 7:22:00 PM Haa don't have to turn it into a splog... just write on stuff you really care about, like those stuff on the open opportunities list. Maybe you really like one of the items? Write on how much you love it, notify PPP, and get paid! :)
I don't see that as a splog because you really use it and you really love it... -

Saw your post on Blog Rush! I've been a member of PPP almost since the beginning. I tend to write about posts on topics that interest me or I can relate to things happening in my own life. I've made a few hundred dollars. Not a lot, but its a nice little pocket change. I've found a few other sites as well, but PPP seems to be the best. I'm trying another one at the moment to, and I'm pleased with the results so far. As long as you keep from making your blog look like a splog you should be okay. Good look with pay per post.

Thanks for popping by and sharing your experiences with Pay Per Post, Gina. Yes indeed, the reason why I signed up with PPP was because some of the open opportunities offered there were/are things that interested me, and I thought it'd be a good idea to write about them and hopefully get paid for doing so.
Now that I'm approved, I'll get started on them :) -

Alright... :)
I'll give it a shot later :)
