YES! It's about time
One of the coveted paid blog posts that I almost always miss, this time I snagged it!
Perfect timing too. I just finished blogging about a little extra monthly income by blogging and surfing. Well, after sending off a pina colada to my facebook friends . . . . . I resumed my surfing and refreshed my PPP (pay per post) website opportunities listing and the beautiful green bar of availability was there before my eyes.
I grabbed that sucker so fast and waited as my cable modem communicated. YES! I got it. Sometimes other bloggers manage to lock on to the links. We all click like mad on the open paid 'ops' and it's a waiting game of seconds before we see if our computer grabbed the link first. I suspect it is because no one tried to click/refresh the open ops list at '12:08'. I have learned that particular times of the day is when PPP gets a little slower to refresh and react to my mousie clickies. That is because all of us bloggers have learned standard times of day when they (may) have an automated system that releases advertisers paid ops onto the board list.
My strategy is two-fold. I hover around my computer on the standard PPP times, but also, while I'm bs'ing around on facebook, my other blogs, email, etc.....I have several tabs open to surf for change and simply 'surf' PPP tab to refresh it every few seconds or minutes or however short or long it takes me to get over to that tab. That means many several times throughout the day, I get to see that list refresh various paid opportunity posts and many different odd times.
I have grabbed $20, $25, $10, $15, $5 and mere pocket change link paid 'ops.' But it has been a while since I locked a $17.50. May not sound like much, but these ad up and help pay my internet cable bill that I am so fond of :-) and helps to put gas in the car. I love blogging anyway and love (maybe too much) being on the computer and surfing the internet. So, it tickles me to get paid a little to have a little fun. Besides, I've never subscribed to World of Warcraft, I think I am still in the safe zone of internet addicts . . . . . . . . .

This is an interesting income idea. I had no idea such a thing existed.

Hi,
I love the idea of being paid for your blog. Do you have the link? Would you please send it to me? I'm on Facebook too.
