Helping to pad out the accounts!

So I needed to find a way to pad out the accounts and help make a bit of cash while I am growing my business, but wasn't sure what else I could do that would work well alongside my current workload... it needed to be something easy to slot into my weekly schedule and easy to do too, but what could it be? I'd been thinking about this for a few months, when completely by chance I noticed a post in the Etsy forums. I think it was called 'Do you love blogging?', or 'Love to blog?' I thought it was another version of the 'Daily Blog Roll'... you know the one... you get to add your daily article link and it's a way of meeting new people and gaining traffic to your blog... then I found it was about a company called PayperPost at payperpost. I hadn't heard of Payperpost before, so as usual my nose got the better of me and I followed the lead!

The Etsy seller who introduced Payperpost told us that this was her new way of making a bit of money on the side of her craft business that allowed her to breakeven during the tougher selling months... so I thought well why not have a go, being paid to blog would work very well for me. So here's my run down of Payperpost and below are a few links that will send you right to the site if you think this could help you too.

Payperpost (PPP)

Here is PPP's Payperpost's FAQ page
Here's where to sign up Payperpost for Bloggers

Payperpost has a number of different options for bloggers;

• you can blog about a website, product or service from a choice of advertisers by category... so far I have seen payment offers of between $5-20 per post.
• you can ask to be hired by a company as a blog reviewer... you get to set your own rate ($) per post.
• you can also review blogs from other people in the community too. Simply look for the logo . My contributions for review can be found under my 'PPP contributions' tab, here on the blog at PPP contributions and I earned $7.50 for reviewing someone else's post.

It's very easy to sign up, you just need to create a username and a password, once you have received and responded to the welcome email, you can then add your account details, including the blog you wish to submit articles for payment onto. This will take a few hours/days to approve, depending on the quantity of other blogs pending approval. Once approved, you are ready to start choosing your opportunities and writing your articles for payment. Each advertising choice will have to be individually reserved and posted within a 6 hour period... you simply tell the Payperpost where you posted your article and submit it for approval. If and when your article is approved you will then be paid directly to your Paypal account in 30 days. Here's a link to Paypal if you need it... Paypal

Some bloggers have reported earning of up to $200 per month, but for this you would need to daily post and be happy to review any product and service on offer... realistically I think I may earn around $50 per month, looking at my chosen category of adverts so far... but hey that's not to be sniffed at, right?! It will all come in very handy! And maybe as I get more involved in the site that figure could increase.

The other great thing about working with Payperpost is that I can work when I want to and when I need to... now I don't know of any other job that could work like this for me!
