A lot of people have been making money online through the two well known programs, PayPerPost.com and Sponsoredreviewed.com. These two programs offer pay per post  opportunities to bloggers. Through them bloggers can publish blog post or review about the advertisers' products or services and get paid for each published post.
For any blogger that needs to earn some quick cash, taking part in the pay per post opportunities of Payperpost and Sponsoredreviewed.com is one of the good choices.
Doing pay-per-post has a few advantages to enjoy but it also has several drawbacks. This article will discuss both the goods and bads of making money online by writing paid post on your blog.
Pros
Easy and Fast Way for Bloggers to Earn Extra Cash
The process of writing paid post and get paid is simple and easy. With a blog that is more than 3 months old; has some traffic and at least PR1 in Google pagerank, you can immediately apply and submit the blog to PayPerPost.com. You might be getting a few advertisers willing to pay you $5 to $10 per blog post publishes on your blog after a few days of joining the program.
High Earning Potential
If your blog covers a lot of general topics such as computer, travel, movie, music, Internet, health and many more, the blog can potentially attract a lot of advertisers for you and make you more than one thousand dollars per month. The top earners are making almost two thousands per month with PayPerPost.com alone. If these top earners join other marketplace similar to payperpost.com, the earning will be even more.
And the good news is you don't need an outstanding blog to make a lot of money with review posts. I previously have done some researches on a few top earners’ blogs. I found that there is nothing special in their blog. Their blog is just normal content blog with a list of topics, with Google Page Rank 3 to 4 and some consistent traffic (150 to 300 daily visitors I guest). So, it is possible for you to copy their formula to make good income with paid posts as well.
Less Work
Comparing pay per post with other blog income sources such as pay per click advertising programs, selling direct banner ads and etc, pay per post require lesser effort. To achieve success in pay per click programs and banner ad selling, you got to learn optimization, tracking your traffic, keep on testing what works and what don’t, build up your image, spend a great deal of time to marketing and promote your blog.
But for pay per post, all you need to do are checking your account for opportunities that your blog qualifies for, visiting the advertisers to learn what they are offering and writing a post about it. It is a little difficult when browsing your advertiser’s site to understand their offer and you need some time to figure out idea for writing the post for the advertiser. But, once you done everything you will certainly be paid for your work.
Possibility of Losing Your Google Page Rank (PR)
Google is pretty smart. It can determine whether your blog is publishing paid review often. If Google finds out you are doing it often, then probably it will penalize you by taking away the Google PR you gained. When this happens, it will seriously affect your blog income. Your pay per post orders can drop dramatically as most of the advertisers don’t buy pay post or review on blogs that have no Google Page Rank.
Low Income in Long Run
For the first 6 months, you may experience a nice growth on your pay per post income because of getting more and more paid post orders from different advertisers. If you continue to get a lot of orders, sooner or later most of the advertisers in the marketplaces would have bought a review post from you. When that happens, you will start getting lesser paid post orders and it will keep dropping because there aren't many advertisers left there that haven't order a paid post from you. Thus, turning your income down from one thousands or more to one to two hundreds dollars monthly.
Little or No Returned Visitors
You can work on blog marketing to drive visitors to your blog but you can’t keep these visitors coming back to your blog again. Paid reviews are about introductions or comment on products or services of different advertisers. Most of the visitors will not like to read them. In fact, some visitors annoy when seeing paid posts and will leave the blog immediately. So, you wouldn't be able to build a subscriber base.
The Blog wouldn’t Help You to Gain Popularity
If you turn your blog into a review blog, you may be earning a good income. But, it will not long able to help you gain popularity in the blogosphere. Review posts are generally short and aiming to promote products or services. They offer no interesting and valuable content to the visitors and readers. So, the review blog will no get any attention in the blogosphere. It can’t attract social bookmark from readers and links from other bloggers. Even you occasionally publish some good content on your review blog, still you will not grab any attention in the blogosphere because your blog has been seen as a review blog that wasn’t built to provide interesting content.
Conclusion
Now, you have read the good and bad of making money online with paid reviews, you may ask whether you should do paid review. Well, if you goal is solely to make money online, then why not go for it. You can see it as your online business where the blog is your business tool for generating income and the advertisers are your customers.
However, if you start a blog with the aims to gain authority in the blogosphere, grow blog subscribers and earn a consistent income in the long term, then you definitely need to stay away pay per post that could block your way to becoming a popular and famous bloggers. |
