Sponsored
So just how much have I made from PayPerPost?
Here are the numbers so far:
Have Been Paid: $156.10
Will Be Paid: $327.22
That’s over the course of about 3 months. I started late November and those are the earnings to Mid February. For those of you with no calculator that’s a shade over $160 a month. The “Will Be Paid” refers to ops that I’ve written and have yet to cross the 30 day threshold. Each sponsored post has to stay on your blog for at least 30 days. On day 30 they check it out and if it’s still there, they deposit the money. So within the next 30 days all of that money will turn over.
With my experience so far, $200 per month is readily achievable, $300 if you work hard and only have one blog but to move much beyond $300, you either need to be really lucky with getting very high paying ops (which are now more common due to segmenting) or have multiple blogs going. That means that nobody’s going to get rich off of PPP at the moment, but they are an amazing first revenue stream as you try to get off the ground. Once your blog is drawing decent traffic though, there will be far more lucrative opportunities available. That’s where my sights are currently aiming.
At the end of the day, the advertisers do win out on this deal. While my earnings are substantial to me, they’re nothing compared to what I could be earning if some of my other revenue streams start delivering. If you want to advertise on blogs, PPP is a great program because it’s going to spread the advertising over a great breadth of sites and give you great bang for your buck. Better yet, all of the PPP blogs are growing and that means that you could be in on a temporally important page when a blog goes big. Since the search engines are factoring more and more temporal information into their algorithms, that makes this a smart move.

The sponsored header is an indication that what you’re about to read is a sponsored post. That means that someone has paid me to blog about the topic that I’m about to write about. While I do my utmost not to be influenced by the sponsors, it’s still important to keep my audience aware of what it is that they’re reading.
