Blogitive is great. I just wrote 11 articles this week and already paid $55. They pay weekly and the terms are no where near as strict as payperpost. This is a great site for advertisers and also for writers. Works great for me! Col
Yep. Got my first payment yesterday. All articles are $5 at present. I have 23 more to do! Phew! Lots of work ahead. Col
I'd love to hear experiences/data from anyone using http://www.PayPerPost.com and one/more of the guys battling for second place in the payperpost space...from a publisher or advertiser perspective. What is the ROI, including time spent sourcing opps and/or bloggers?
I had blogitive on my list to check out - so thanks for the info here! In my first 5 days with payperpost, I have earned approx $122. I do imagine that might plane out over time as I have been taking the maximum number of opps per day (3) and looking at the higher-paying opps that are relevant to my blog. Joining PPP encouraged me to blog more frequently. Going from *maybe* one post per day to 4-6/day. So far this month, I have already seen a 50% increase in Unique Visitors. For my simple little blog, that means over 1000 new visitors - with record highs on both unique visitors and the number of pages viewed in the last 3 days (since increasing my post frequency to 4-6/day). Not only are new people visiting the blog, they are reading more pages per visit than usual. Adsense Impressions have almost doubled, and the overall CTR has risen approximately 42%. My Daily Average for Earnings has more than quadrupled… In addition to the increase in Adsense income, I earned a nice sum from other sources as well. I also added plenty of fresh quality content to my domain, got a bucket full of new inbound links to internal pages… and am set up to continue increasing my earnings as the spiders locate and index my content.
Nice post terry, i have been trying to decide which service expiriment with. You made it just alittle easier. Thanks
Sorry, did I read this right - you wrote 11 articles and earnt a measly $55? Sounds like a lot of hard work for nothing. How long were the articles?
All articles are $5 each. Hence, 11 articles for $55. I did mention this earlier. yes, it is very hard work indeed. Woe is me, the painstaking work I do for $55 Just kidding! The only way to see how it works is to go have a look for youself and see what is required. Regards, Col
Sorry Col, but I think your mad for $5 and your undervaluing yourself for a unique article, no matter how many words it is. I will take a look at the site, but I am sure you could earn more money by writing unique articles and selling them yourself (cut out the middleman!) I'm looking for a blogger for www.blogged-out.com PM me if your interested.
Hey everyone, my take on paid blog posting is this. yes, the absolute cash payout is low (quite horrible, actually), but look at the intangibles: 1) possibility of increase in organic web traffic and alexa (if you like the alexa rankings) 2) chance of backlinks (increasing your google PR) if you do affiliate marketing and your products are related to the subject area, eg. continuing education, multi-level marketing, etc, a single affiliate sales could be $30 or $50 or even $100. in that case, the $5 paid post has been 'multiplied' by a factor of 20 times. so it all boils down to how you are strategically managing your blogging business (if you are treating it as a source of income) obviously there is a market demand for the paid blog topic (and someone is paying you to do it) marry the demand with a supply (either with contextual advertising and/or affiliate marketing) and boom! paydirt! this is my second month of serious blogging and i'm looking at net profit of about $2,000. I'm expecting from Jan 07 onwards to grow it to a consistent $5,000 a month. --- PS: setting targets are important too. if you dont have concrete numbers to work towards, then i guess anything will do...
Well done! However, I am not getting much work at all from Blogitive anymore on any of my blogs. PayPerPost is one of my main streams at present. I hope Blogitive can increase soon? Col
