Those of us who like to write, want to make money. And it's safe to say that we all want to make a lot of it so we can do all the things we'd like to do. I'm sure we'd all like to get paid to post our thoughts and opinions. Similarity, we'd like to get paid for our knowledge that help other to succeed as well. There is a program called PayPerPost. It sounds like a wonderful idea. The more I write, the more I make. However, it's actually frowned upon by sites like Google.
IZEA (the new holding company for PayPerPost) CEO Ted Murphy is not surprisingly calling foul on the move, claiming that it’s part of some sort of censorship conspiracy by Google. Better still Murphy claims that it’s part of Google’s attempts to deny competition because PayPerPost is a “a very attractive alternative” to Adsense. (PayPerPost Bloggers Get Slammed By Google)I signed up for it and I'm waiting for something. I think I'll give it a try. After all, it doesn't hurt to at least give it a shot. It could turn out well; or maybe not. We'll find out. The article from TechCrunch does go on to say that PayPerPost will have a short life. Mostly due in part to the content of posts that could slam it's own endeavors. Sorta like biting the hand that feeds you. Not a good idea. It sounds like a great concept. But follow through is where it happens. I do know there are sites out there that will pay you to write on a topic that you can choose from. They are easy to find. Google. Everyone's friend. So, if you want to do that instead, do some research and see what fits your niche.
