    Hello all! I'm venturing into the world of blogging, and I need guest posters to get it going! The blog will focus on the world of making money online, offering reviews, advice and more. I am willing to pay $1.00 via PayPal to anyone willing to write up an introductory post (the 1st blog posting). Any other guest writers that would like to write relevant content, I am willing to offer $.50 per post that's approved. Please PM me if you can help.

    Good luck. I'd say if you can't be bothered with writing your first post(s) why bother blogging?

    ...especially at those prices.
    If you can't even get it off the ground....you will never make it.

    Just give up now and avoid the frustration.

    Why do you think anyone would do anything, thru Pay Pal...for $1?

    Aren't you the one that is looking at getting into paid blogging? If you are, then you need to know that paid blogging sites do not accept blogs that are written by more than one person. If they even get a slight hint that your content isn't your own, they'll throw you out so fast you won't know what happened.

    And I wouldn't suggest trying to contravene their detection either. If the paid reviewers don't catch you right away, then you'll probably be caught by another blogger looking to keep everyone honest. It would be a lot easier for you to write a paid post for $5, instead of netting four bucks and worrying constantly about getting caught.

    My sentiments exactly :rolleyes:

    The first posts should be the easiest to do and if its a new blog you should at least be interested in doing it yourself.

    Maybe you should think of another idea because blogging doesn't seem to be your forte. You need to do something that interests you or you will never have the motivation or willpower to get anywhere. :)

    Chadgray, I have to say, the pay you're offering is rather insulting!
    :mad:

    get real...if you can't even make the effort to write a single post on your own blog, why would you think anyone would want to work for you?

    Insulting to say the least. Why would I post my valuable original content on your blog for less than $1? Would you create content for someone else at that price?

    You'll have to find another way, because you won't get workers here at those prices.

    Just a heads up, people usually charge like $15-$20 minimum for each post (with a linkback and credit given). If you're going to charge $1, you might as well do it for yourself.

    Matter of fact, I'll do it. I'll write an introduction for you for $1... though, I can't guarantee that it'll be more than one or two sentences. :D

    "Welcome to this brand new make money online blog where I will be teaching you cost-efficient and no hard work blogging (employing writers with $1)".

    OK, that is my line, where's my $1? :D

    I agree with everyone else. If you can't be bothered/don't know what to write as your first post how are you going to cope with the rest of your posts?
