Mo’ Money

As someone who had not used PayPerPost in a while, I was amazed to see the new opportunities that pay big bucks. This is great for people that want to help getting the word out there, but don’t have the traffic of some of those 800-pound blogging gorillas. No question, I would write a post for $1000! Their blog ad network is pulling in some huge clients, and some big-ticket prospects.

Systems like AdSense work great if you have already proved your worth, but what if you’re still in the process of making a name for yourself? It doesn’t seem fair to penalize people trying to get their ideas out there, and rewarding blog factories that bring in viewers but no insight. That’s how the web used to be, but we have the power to change this. Networks like PayPerPost are making it possible for the little guy to win, too.

What’s more, their fee is a lot lower than places like ReviewMe. We’re talking 35% versus 100%. I should mention that disclosure is required from all bloggers, but I don’t see a problem with that. I’d rather have people understand the context of a post – that’s what web 2.0 is, right? It’s all about Collaborative context.
