Pay Per Post

by Slack, on July 26th, 2007

Pay Per Post… Lots of polarized opinions flying around about this new opportunity. For the uninformed, Pay Per Post is a way bloggers can monetize their blogs. Basically, people will pay you to talk about their product/service in a neutral/positive light. That’s how I understand it.

Some folks say this destroys your credibility. I disagree. Sure, if you are accepting offers for everything out there under the sun — with no regard to the actual quality and usability of the product, sure, you are then destroying your credibility. But, if you are accepting offers for products/services you would actually use, and you are perfectly honest about what you are saying, then why not get paid? Beats the hell out of giving free plugs.

So, obviously I do agree with the program. I vow to both of my readers ;) that I will always disclose if I am getting paid to post, and I will only accept offers for products or services that I would actually consider, and finally I will always be honest in my review.
