A New Way to Monetize Your Blog



Many new bloggers look at PaidContent.org and a lot of the big name bloggers and wonder "Why not me?!?" Blogging can be extremely profitable, but it takes time to build your name, to build your brand and to begin to attract advertisers. AdSense is great, but payouts are usually smaller than a lot of people would like, and they clutter up your page.

Enter PayPerPost http://www.payperpost.com, a company that is making it easy to get paid doing what you love. It seems to have a pretty solid business model, and some really big name advertisers. The bloggers who are participating love the service and have nothing but nice things to say about it.

While there has been a lot of controversy over similar services, PayPerPost seems to have taken this into account and they are doing a great job as a company to support the blogging community in a new way.

The fact is, it's not cheap to host your own blog, and even if you do have a free blog host, you still need to factor in your time. Until you hit the blogosphere in a big way, this is an interesting and inventive way to keep the lights on.
