Getting paid to blog - two programs and how you'll know

Patrick Grote — Sat, 25 Nov 2006 21:32:03 -0500

I'm going to start using two services that pay for blog posts, Pay Per Post and Review Me. Pay Per Post seems to be the most established, while Review Me is very new.

This is a new business segment for the blogging industry and there is considerable debate as to whether it's ethical or not. I think it's ethical as long as posts are noted as being paid for. To make sure folks understand that certain posts are being paid for, I'm going to make those posts with a user name of Paid Opportunity. When you see posts from that user name you'll know that they're paid for.

My name is Patrick Grote and I live in the great state of Missouri. For those who don't know, Missouri is in the middle of the United States. :-)

This site is designed to allow me to capture online information and pass along thoughts and opinions on matters related to technology, sports and anything else I am interested in.

One of the the things I struggled with was understanding the nature of blogging. To me it's a drag to see people talk about their personal lives. I am more interested in facts, opinions and things that can help me achieve my goals.
