Look At The Monthly Earnings For These Paid Posters
I am totally amazed at how earnestly some paid posters work. If you go to payperpost.com you can see the top 3 earners for this month Linda=$1,892.88, Kathy=$1,877.83, and Atila=$1,816.00 now that is dedication. I have 3 blogs and the sum total I have made for 15 months is $2,073.45, but of course I don’t view it as my online business.
I don’t like to post about many of the things that are available, but I have no problem buzzing about a free service that is available or a contest or sweepstake and sometimes a cool product. I like Social Spark because it uses the nofollow tag, but since it was opened to the public I have taken only 4 opps, I seriously doubt that I will ever get my page rank back so the nofollow really doesn’t matter much to me.
I could easily take 3 opps per blog per day and if they were 5 dollars a piece that would be 45 dollars a day, 315 dollars a week. Of course the price ranges are different so it would possibly be even more. I personally do the 10 dollar and up and maybe a 7 or 8 every once in awhile, but as you can see I don’t do that many simply because that would mean 18 posts a day or somewhere around there because they have to have an interim post in between.
Now I have been called wordy before, but that’s just too many words for me and who cares if my granddaughter or child pooped her pants or I’m sick and have a headache or my husband took out the trash or what lovely weather we are having today just to have 3 to 5 sentences in between a sponsored post so I could grab another one?
The majority of blogs that I drop on in Entrecard happen to be paid posters and I really don’t think they care if I read their paid posts or not so long as I drop a card to help their real rank so they can get better opps. I’m not saying that most are just there for the money because I have read many that have interesting content other than all the paid advertising, but those are easy to pick out from those that really don’t care.
For those that really don’t care then I have no qualms about dropping and running just as fast as I can. I have found some very good blogs that I do stop and read, but I don’t always leave a comment and I certainly don’t get upset when people don’t comment on something I write. I wish I could make myself take more opps because who can’t use extra money, but it’s just too much work, maybe I should look for an outside job.

I’m not really familiar with PPP but I learn something from your posting. There are a group of people don’t care if we read or not their article because somebody already pay their posting…thanks for your great comment at bonoriau.

I’m sure some people expect others to read their paid postings as well as the 3 or 4 sentences they add in between and I’m sure some probably do a good job with the way they relate to the ad they are offering up, but who actually likes to read ads unless your a proof reader? And if you do the same paid postings why bother unless you are checking to see if their writing style is better than yours.

I work with ppp and social spark but I’m certainly not one of the top earners. lol I don’t take a whole lot of opps because like you I really don’t have that much interesting to say all the time and I don’t think that anybody really wants to hear what I had for breakfast. lol

Hey Jude…The only way that I can explain the fact that I made it into the top earners for this month is being blessed and fortunate enough to snag several very high-paying opps. As far as I know I have never been a top earner before.
For what it’s worth - I haven’t done anything different during the month of August than I’ve done any other month since joining 3P.
Oh…I also have three blogs in the system that I utilize most every day. That helps, I figure, too.
Cheers!

Hi Kim I like reading about your camping trips thanks for stopping.

Hi Kathy,
Congrats for being a top earner. I think the highest opp I took once was for 90 dollars, now a few of those a week would be great and at a higher price I might even be tempted to throw in a debt management post. Thanks for stopping and have a great posting day.

I have cut down on paid posting unless it fits the theme of one of my blogs. My hat is off to those that can make $1000+ month writing blog posts.

Well, I care
For me I don’t do paid posts for more than one reason.
1. I’m kind of a perfection freak and I know that even for a $5 post I could spend hours researching and trying to come up with something original. That’s time I could be using on more rewarding tasks.
2. I’m trying (without much success yet) to give my blog some personality and focus. Doing paid posts doesn’t help to achieve that IMHO.
3. Not being a native English speaker I still feel my vocabulary is rather limited to cover some topics (even though it keeps amazing me how many bloggers write with tons of syntaxis and grammar errors - even paid posts).
That’s all!
Good post!

Thanks for the great post. I’m not a paid poster, and I really don’t care if people “drop and run” or if they stick around and read what I write. I view it as a gift to others—if they elect to receive the gift, it’s up to them how they handle it. Likewise, I don’t expect everyone who reads my blog, The Artist’s Muse, to leave a comment. Quite often when “dropping” cards I find a blog that engages me and I return there time and time again, but don’t feel I have anything to offer….so I slip away in silence. Am sure others do likewise.
