Pay Per Post - An Experiment in the New World of Web 2.0

Having got back on the internet bandwagon with blogging about my interests, I had decided to plunge into the world of blog monetisation to see if it can turn a hobby into something that is able to generate postive cash flows.

I chanced upon the Payperpost website where there is a unique business model, in that bloggers (who naturally love to write and post pictures and articles about their hobbies, work and lifestyles) are paid some money to actually write a post about a product, service or a blog. This is one of my first experiments in trying out this opportunity that pays you USD5.00 if you blog about the topic and your post stays up in your blog for at least 30 days.

The blog that I am reviewing is called Quirky Bits and Pieces and it is a personal blog. The writer is also part of this experiment where he (or she?) is being paid to review another person's blog and am able to get remunerated as well. It's an interesting business model and has even gotten the blogger Quirky who specialises in beautiful patchwork and craft to blog about something out of her interest in her regular blog.

Now what does this blog have to do with you my dear reader? :-)

As Five Cents Ten Cents is ultimately about financial freedom, every single opportunity to earn that little bit of cash while doing something that comes naturally is a win-win situation. It really has opened up my eyes to the possibilities of the evolving nature of internet and ecommerce and really the entire paradigm of the global economy is staring to change even from the day I got my first internet account with cyberway (before it became Starhub) logging on at a blazing 33.6kps modem. ;-)

The internet beckons for those who can write. Explore the possibilities and be well and prosper!
