PayPerPost Is Great Not Evil
I read other people in the forum that say they see no available opps to write about, but I see them all the time. Maybe it’s because of the categories I choose, but I don’t take a lot of them. I could possibly do three a blog, but that’s simply more posting than I choose to do, but I know many people that do because I have seen their blogs. I am simply not creative enough to come up with 6 post per day per blog.
I don’t do those 300 words for 5 dollar ones even though I usually run over the required amount of words and since I don’t know anything about mortgages I don’t do those, but if it was a hundred dollar opp I would probably learn pretty quick. I can’t endorse credit cards because to me they are a necessary evil that people get into trouble with and I had my share which I will never duplicate again.
It would be nice to do a few big dollar opps a week then the blogs wouldn’t look so spammy, but people sometimes take what they can get to help out at home and make ends meet. Even if you did three 5 dollar opps per blog, if you have 3 like I do that would be 45 dollars a day and at the end of the week you would have $315 coming. Some times you’re lucky and snag a really big one in between. If the opps are higher you can gross even more.
For me this is the easiest way to make money and if I still had pr the better paying opps would be more frequent. I once had a high paying opp and because of my stupidity I lost it because I didn’t have my glasses on and deleted the post from PPP. You can believe I kicked myself for a month solid, but I eventually got over my mistake.
I was writing a post for another blog today and when I checked to see if any opps were available there was one for 128 dollars about jewelry shopping which would have fit perfectly on my beauty blog and only 100 words, but alas it was gray and fully reserved because those type of opps don’t stand idle for long. I can’t stay clued to the PPP site and refresh all day on the off chance that I’ll get lucky, but when I do get lucky I’m elated.
Regardless of what any body says I highly recommend PayPerPost for any one working from home. Even though it takes 30 days from the time you submit your post till you’re paid if you do a couple every day then it’s great to have a steady payment to your PayPal account just by putting words together and creating buzz for a company, what could be easier?
In my opinion PayPerPost is great not evil because they supply a means for people to earn extra money unlike many opps on the Internet. They supply the means, but they don’t force bloggers to take as many opps as they do and they try to make sure their guidelines are followed because they don’t want the postie blogs to look spammy.
There are many quality writers that do postings for PPP so just because you run into a few that look like spam, why must the whole lot be clumped together and called tacky and evil? Those people that write the minimum words and interim posts and maximum posts per day may be in desperate need of that money and probably thank God every day for the unique opportunity that PayPerPost supplies for them and their family.

I love PPP too! But unfortunately I don’t get many opps, not sure why. I got a lot when I first joined, then it seemed to get less and less. I have even gone days of having only the same one pop up and nothing else. I too won’t do mortgage or credit card ones, I cannot feel comfortable encouraging people with any of the financial stuff unless I could speak from experience about it.
I haven’t been checking the past couple of weeks because of moving, I plan to start again next week, hopefully it’s improved for me! But either way, I’m very happy with the couple of hundred dollars of super easy money I did make from them in just a couple of months!

I’ve been doing PPP for… nearly two years now. It has basically kept me from being homeless! I did see many more opps before the whole pr smackdown. There is very little action over there for me at the moment, but every now and then, I still manage to snag a juicy opp.

I like PPP better than Social Spark. With PPP, I get higher paying opportunities that require fewer words than Social Spark. I haven’t written a post for SP yet. For example, yesterday I could do a post for SP ($5.50 for 250 words) or I could do a post for PPP ($13 for 100 words) Guess which one I chose!
I agree with Jolene, though, that I don’t get as many opps with PPP as I did back in the fall.

Hi Jolene, Sly, and Charla great to see you here and thanks for commenting. I tend to take the PPP opps over SocialSparks because the price fluctuates too much, and I messed up the other night because I thought I was taking the gray bar at the bottom on my beauty site, but it’s the whole cover your site ad so I probably blew any readers that I had up till then, oh well you live and learn so now I know better.

Hi All,
I am pretty new to both PPP and SP and just bought my own domain because I thought that I would get more ops if I didn’t have a blogspot domain. I still am not getting any
Any suggestions or tips you can give me?

Hi Noemi,
I like PPP over SS and I reserved 2 opps in SS, but till the opp was ready for me to take the price had dropped drastically so I declined both. I don’t see myself even trying to take any more opps there for quite awhile.
Even bloggers that have been there since the beginning are having a hard time catching a good opp. All I can tell you is to try and give good content and work on lowering your real rank and pick appropriate categories for your blog so you at least have a fighting chance.
If you have page rank from Google be prepared to lose it. I see many blogs that look like the only purpose is to grab as much money as possible with no real content only every other post a paid one and they make lots of money because they take any and all opps out there and really don’t care.
I wish I could relay something to you that would help, but all I can tell you is not to get your hopes up of making a killing with either program unless you have a high page rank then you would do okay with PPP. I do wish you all the best though.
