Get Paid to Post on your own blog

After signing up and placing referral links all over the place, I began exploring the site PPP for more information while I wait for approval.

I might have a long wait.

Even if I get approval - which is doubtful due to the "post daily for 90 days" requirement, it seems that most advertisers will not accept you if you are hosted on blogspot.com or wordpress.com, among a slew of others. Also they want Page Ranks of 5-6, and Alexa Score of 4 or 5 digits. I understand that advertisers want exposure for their ads and want to get the most they can out of each dollar they spend, but my blogs are on blogspot and I could die of old age waiting for that kind of Page Rank and Alexa Score, no matter where my blogs are hosted.

So it would seem that putting any more effort into blogspot is a monumental waste of time and I should put a Wordpress blog on a server other than wordpress.com? Does that mean starting over with the 90 days? What if they finally get around to looking for the blog I submitted and it isn't there anymore? I can't submit anything else until that one has 10 posts which it won't ever get this way!

Have I backed myself into corner?

Hi Sandi,

Do you have your own domain name pointing to your hosted blogs? If so, thats great - and you can just repoint it to your new wordpress blog once you get it set up.

Having your blog "established" for 90 days with regular posts is going to be a requirement with most of these companies - but the rest will grow with time (not as long as you think).

The handwriting is on the wall.

I (with help) got WordPress installed where I host one of my sites.

I figured out that the blog name & url should be somewhat less than a mile long.

At least one thing went my way today. The names of the 2 blogs that I am interested in pursuing this with were both available with the dot info extension, and GoDaddy is having a sale on dot infos for $2.99, so I grabbed them and will redirect them as soon as I figure out the new url the blogs will have. Then I can change the links from my established sites to the dot infos instead of the blogspots.

The above sentence could be the poster child for "a little knowledge can be very dangerous" because I figured out about the redirect stuff but have a bit less than NO clue how to get WordPress up and running.

I don't even know where to start.

The web host uses SiteMadeEasy. If anyone knows of a tutorial written at the child level that I can read and get WordPress up and running, I would be more than grateful.

Because there are no real links into the blogs other than from my own sites, my plan for now is to move the posts over from blogspot once I get WordPress set up.

You said that you got WordPress installed - but then said you needed help getting it set up and running. Can you let us know what you need help with specifically - installing it, using it, or what exactly?

Also, you can "import" your blogger content into your WordPress blog I havent done it myself, but you might start a new post if the tutorials arent helpful to you (you should find help at blogger, and can also find info through a Google search).

Hi Sandi,

I had a blog on blogger for over a year, so there were a lot of posts. When I had wordpress installed on my own domain (it was a one click thing with my hosting service, so don't ask me any installation questions) I used the option to transfer my blog from Blogger and it did it without a catch and looked fine.

A word of caution, the blogger blog content vanished, so make sure you do some kind of a backup first, just in case something happens during the transfer and wordpress loses your posts.

Like I said, I had no trouble, but I'm a worst case scenario person.

Thanks! I did find some instructions, but the older I get the longer things take to absorb and implement, so it might take me a few days to wrap my brain around it.

Thanks also for the reminder to back-up the blogger posts. Murphy's Law reigns around me like a black cloud so I will definitely remember to do that before I attempt a transfer!
