paid blogging update

My experience with paid blogging continues. PayPerPost just updated their site with a number of new features, including a way to get paid for having other people get paid reacting to your paid posts. Sound confusing? The new update has caused a bit of confusion and the smoke seems to finally be clearing over at the PPP forums regarding all of these "enhancements".

They have also created a new feature in which a "disclosure bubble button" can be placed on your site, within your post, and it works like the popular "lightbox" application that you've probably seen on a few sites. It gives advertisers the chance to have their content included in your post, so that if a user wants to see a preview of the site or product that they are reading about in your post, there it is. There are also a few new signup and "sponsored by" buttons that they are having bloggers use.

So far, I've made about $500 off of my PayPerPost efforts. Definitely not enough to live off of, but then again, I don't exactly post their opportunities too religiously. They don't always have opps that I feel would fit the theme of my blog. I also refuse to post positively about anything that I don't feel positively about. So if an advertiser is requesting a positive review for a crappy site, I ignore it. I'm in the process of having a new blog approved, too, so that should help.
