Why I love PayPerPost

***ADVERTISEMENT***

---

Everyone knows one of the best types of marketing is word of mouth marketing. This is because word of mouth advertising comes from a (presumably) trusted source. That is, if Jimmy Joe Jim Bob likes something, he tells his best friend Bobby Joe James. Bobby Joe James is much more likely to believe in the product recommended by Jimmy Joe Jim Bob because he trusts him.

PayPerPost deals in word of word of mouth marketing exclusively. They pay me to post an ad, and you, the loyal readers, read the ad, and you are (presumably) more readily acceptable of the product because you (presumably) trust my opinion.

I made my first PayPerPost ad on December 8, 2006. I received my first payment on January 7, 2007. It was an ad for some optics place. They sold ultra cool stuff like night vision goggles and the like. That $6.01 payout was my first online income. Since then I have posted 34 ads for a total of $243.03. That doesn't sound like much, but it is just over $7 per ad. Take into account that it takes roughly 10 minutes to write a review of whatever site or product is being advertised, that isn't too shabby.

I could have done quite a bit more by this time, but other things in life (like flooded basements) sometimes (quite often) make PPP take a back seat.

Currently, I have been saving my PPP money and am trying to get up to $400 so the 5/8 and I can each take $200 and hit one of the casinos up north. If I try, we can probably look at the end of June for the trip.
