PayPerPost goes "Direct"!

As a long time user of PayPerPost, and a few other miscellaneous paid posting companies, it was really nice to see someone come out with another direct to advertiser option that doesn't keep all the dollars for them selves. ReviewMe is one of those options, but 50% of the offer is kept by ReviewMe and you will only receive the other 50%

PayPerPost on the other hand has just launched a new system called PayPerPost Direct which allows a blogger to gain "direct" advertisement for
blogging and effectively eliminates the middleman from the whole equation. They only collect a 10% fee, of which 5% is to simply cover the PayPal fees for the transaction.

Once again Ted has started thinking outside the box, and has found another way to allow the blogger doing the
blogging to capitalize on the advertising and let the blogger profit. This will have no affect on the normal PPP opportunities and they remain as they always were, but everything is available from one easy to use interface, which also recently received a nice enhancement for Posties.

Click the "review this post" button below to join PayPerPost and start earning money today, or if you have a special request that you would like me to blog about for you, click the "hire me" button on the top right of this blog to request you very own article or advertisement.

King Nomar dot com - newer business blog

I don't often get to review a lot of other bloggers but today, that's exactly what I'm going to be doing. Nomar has a pretty good readership from what I can see and his topics range around the topics of being a Web development Blog , but generally remain in the area of Internet marketing, and Internet business topics.

He has been and is active in a number of different areas to monetize the blog with opprotunities that range from AdSense, Agloco, ReviewMe, and others. They are all very popular subjects when it comes to earning money from a blog and he also spends some time keeping his readers up to date on his progress as he goes. This can be a very useful tool for other bloggers to use, especially if you are looking into various opportunities and are curious how they might perform for you and your particular situation.

I just finished reading a part of his blog which outlines the blogs earnings for the month of February, which shows the blogs
progress and earnings in a very straight forward and simple way and includes the blogs AdSense, Text Links, and earnings from sponsored posts. If you are curious what the months best earnings were, stop by the blog and give it a peek for yourself.

Have you heard about the new JV called Ya'PerPost?

One thing I've become acutely aware of when it comes to PayPerPost, is that they never seem to shy away from a good rumor or story. As far as I'm concerned they are the King or undisputed champs of blog advertising. Well the rumor mill has been at it again and here is what I'm hearing and this is happening in about two weeks time.

PayPerPost is buying into Yahoo and going to become an integral part of their advertising and search engine core group. Yahoo has remained totally mum on the whole project as the details are still likely being hammered out. The rumor also has it that the the first Postie to get the word out about this newest venture is going to be eligible for a $1000 one time payment for breaking the news.

So how is PPP going to be integrated with Yahoo in something totally new in the advertising world? They are going to revolutionize the blogging world with something called Ya'PerPost, where you will be able to post your blog entries and have them immediately listed at the top of the search engines to drive traffic to the advertisers site. No more waiting for years and months to get listed in the new search engine, as you are automatically placed at the top for your subject every time you post!

Unlike PayPerPost, where you get paid to blog through
blog advertising, with Ya'PerPost you will get immediate top search engine placement for your submitted blog posts. Don't believe it? If not, it's my rumor and I'm sticking to it. If you want to read more for yourself about PayPerPost, then just click on the "get paid to review my blog" button below and join. It's just a rumor, but I would get on board while you still can!

Getting started with videoblogging

Videoblogging is the next generation of posting ideas and products over the internet. Everybody knows about textblogging. Now they use videos for a better way of expression. This form of communication may entail a lot of resources, but it is all worth it. If pictures say a thousand words, videoblogging exceeds that by far. A videoblog requires larger disk spaces on websites, a faster server, and a whole new set of programs to support it. Videoblogs can be fed through RSS. This is technology of syndicating your website to other RSS aggregators.

Videoblogging works with people on the internet expressing their selves. Now if you put this on a business prospective, you are up to a lot of benefits. Think of it as a powerful tool in making showing your prospective customers your line of products or your services. It’s just like showing a commercial all for free. And if you videoblog through RSS, then most probably you are getting your target market. People like to see what they are going to buy. Some would like to see proof and be sure that they are getting their money’s worth before shelving their dimes on it. All of us know the influence of a thirty second commercial. The effect of videoblogging is similar to that. You show your product, people watch it. If they like it, they buy it. If you present it good enough, they’ll buy the product even if they don’t need it.

Now on the web, things are pretty much static, unlike in television in which all are moving. If you post something that is mobile, it would most likely catch attention. Now imaging your product parading in all it’s royalty through videoblog. You’ll get phone call orders in no time.
If your business is just starting up, you can create a videoblog right at your own home. All you need is your web camera, microphone, video software, and lights. For as long as you know how to use your camera, then you can create a videoblog.

Invest in a good web camera. The higher its resolution is the better the output. And you like to present your goods in the optimum way so get the best one possible. Make a short story, or just capture your goods in one go. Just make sure you are getting the best profile for each. Get those creativity juices flowing. Lights are important in a production. Make sure you illuminate entirely the area you are going to use to create videoblog. The brighter the area, the crispier the images will be. You can also use lighting effects for added appeal to the presentation.

Should you require sounds for your videoblog, you need a microphone. Record you voice as a voice over for promoting the product and its benefit to consumers. Sounds are as important as videos on a videoblog. It is advisable to make your sound effects as enticing as the video.
Your video editing software can be any program. You need this to finalize your work. You can add sounds, delete some bad angles, or insert some still pictures in there too.

Some programs are user-friendly and can be used even with zero knowledge on video editing. Even simple video editing programs should do the trick. Select your background carefully too. The light affects the presentation so make sure that the background and the light complements each other. Videoblogging is a great tool but it also has it downside. It may slow down the computer so other may steer clear of it. Download time may also be time consuming especially if customer is still on a dial- up connection.

But don’t let those stop you. Let videoblogging be an alternative for you, though it is best to still keep the text and pictures present in your presentation to accommodate all possible viewers of your site. Nowadays, the more creative you are in presenting your product to the market, they more you are likely to succeed. Videoblogging offers an interactive way of selling. You involve the customers. You instill in them the advantage of your goods. And at times, those are enough to make a sale.

5 Reasons Why Blogging is the New Internet Marketing Tool

Blogging is a concept that started in late 90s. It used to be a way to comment an existing web page, an opportunity for visitors and readers to react or voice out one’s opinion on the said page. What started as a single-sentence commentary has evolved into pages of personal take on just about anything and everything under the sun. As it continues to move forward, online advertising has tapped into the blog’s potential. Here are 5 reasons why you should use blogging as an Internet marketing tool.

1.Blogging is simple. The simplest way to get your piece on the net is through blogging. No skills are necessary… an average adult can read and type, or at least click a mouse. It’s like having a virtual piece of paper and you just write your ideas, experiences, new products, and hope that the truth behind your articles comes out and entice your reader to also try your product. If you have a PC and an Internet connection (who doesn't?) then you can blog and advertise.

2. Blogging is authentic. In this day and age where advertising saturate our lives, we question the credibility of promoters’ claims. However, in blogs, real people share their real-life experiences, unscathed by paid advertising. Reading blogs about first-hand product use is like talking to people about their first-hand experience. You definitely want to buy a tried and tested product.

3. Blogging is free. Because blogging is yet to be proven as a mainstream online advertising media, most sites see it as something to augment current marketing tools and thus offer it for free. Any opportunity for free web time is definitely a bonus especially to businesses that are starting up. Needless to say, paid blog pages can generate more income for your seriously growing business.

4. Blogging builds credibility. As you get more and more into writing your experiences on a particular product or industry, your readers come to realize that they can depend on your posts for their own information needs. As such, you become an expert on it; as a consequence, more readers visit your site and more bloggers link to your blogs. As companies and professional organizations notice the growth of your readership base, they may soon get in touch with you for advertising on your blog page, or make you an affiliate, which pays for every referral generated from your blog site.

5. Blogging builds your market. Unless you are a Hollywood star, chances are, only your Mom reads your posts. Mom has a lot of friends, so she lets her friends know how interesting your blog site is. But you need not depend on Mom to increase your readership base. Look into the following ways to build your market through blogging:

-By understanding your readers. Conduct a simple survey for your readers to understand their profile and advertising preferences. Ask consumers to give you feedback on a post, an ad link, or a trial that you shared. In this way, it is like interviewing your readers without the commitment and intrusion of a face-to-face interview.

-By joining a blog network –A network of blogs maybe a collection of blog sites that share the same industry, interest, readership base, payment mode, etc. Consumers find credibility and convenience in clicking one link to several real bloggers about a single subject. Clearly, more bloggers are better than one.

-By using RSS. RSS is the fastest growing technology on the Internet today. As such, having RSS feeds to your blog is definitely another means of generating awareness for your readership base. Having a variety of feeds can add interest to your blog site.

Give your business a boost by effectively using blogging as an Internet marketing tool.

What's my favorite episode at Rock Startup?



First I guess I'd better explain what Rock Startup is for those who don't already know. Rock Startup is PayPerPosts idea of a reality show program. It's really been more a a "reality journal" of the history of PayPerPost and some of the many challenges and opportunities they have all been facing through the last year as they have been trying to get PayPerPost turned into a household name.

My favorite episode is episode nine, which is where Ted gets gets the Postie Patrol in reverse and has to find fifteen items in the office in 5 minutes. They brought in Colleen, who's been at the top of the PPP earnings list for as long as I have been part of the program which is about 8 months now. She has been around PayPerPost for quite some time now, almost since the beginning. I also really liked episode eight, because that's where the work with the PR company started and since then the opportunites have been increasing greatly for us all!

In Episode nine, called Blog Mogul, it was really fun to see the gang having a good time at Ted's expense and by the look of it, it was good timing as he appears to have been in need of some stress relief right about then.

I have enjoyed the entire
reality show concept about PayPerPost and it has been really fun watching how they've grown and many of the great adventures they have shared with each other and us as well along the way. Long live PayPerPost! May they continue to "Rock Startup" and I can't wait to see what else is coming in the near future.

But you need not depend on Mom to increase your readership base. Look into the following ways to build your market through blogging:

-By using your e-mail. Today, blogging is overcoming the e-mail’s popularity in quickly and effectively reaching and expanding a market. In this age of speed and quick access, logging in and downloading e-mail is simply taking longer than clicking into a blog site. Let them explore your site by using a short e-mail message as teaser to your blog site. If your e-mail is on an entirely different subject, use your e-mail signature to give a link to the site.

-By using subscription. An easy way to get your readers e-mail is to give them an opportunity to subscribe to your blogsite. Keep some exclusive information for your subscribers to entice readers to subscribe and give their e-mail address. Just be responsible in using their e-mail address, as the last thing you want is a comment on your blog that you are a spammer.

-By understanding your readers. Conduct a simple survey for your readers to understand their profile and advertising preferences. Ask consumers to give you feedback on a post, an ad link, or a trial that you shared. In this way, it is like interviewing your readers without the commitment and intrusion of a face-to-face interview.

-By joining a blog network –A network of blogs maybe a collection of blog sites that share the same industry, interest, readership base, payment mode, etc. Consumers find credibility and convenience in clicking one link to several real bloggers about a single subject.

Give your business a boost by effectively using blogging as an Internet marketing tool.
