No, I didn’t

Not one extra thing got done yesterday, and today was even worse. I’ve been fighting this internet connection for a couple of weeks now, and I finally called tech support tonight. I’m up at least, so that’s an improvement. Perhaps tomorrow,I can get my business done in a timely manner and get on up from here! Well see.

$$$

Ya’ll know I am trying to raise the rankings of my blogs so that I can use them to Make Money. I’d like to ditch the adsense particularly, because it takes up alot of real-estate that I could use for more interesting things. Here are some tips I’ve discovered to increase your blog’s popularity and thus it’s earning potential.

  • submitting your Blog into RSS Syndication sites like FeedBurner.com
  • commenting on other peopleรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs blogs
  • asking friends to add you to their blogroll
  • keeping fresh content rolling out

Once you have some time and energy invested in your blog, it’s easier to write copy for money.

SEO

I did some work at Cass Knits! last night and this morning. I am trying to move that blog on up the ranks. Julie is helping me with it, and she’s great! If you don’t have a Julie in your life, you can check out the forum and Discuss SEO Strategies – Revenue Source. You’ll find tips there on SEO and affiliate marketing.

More about PayPerPost

I really enjoy working with PayPerPost. I love finding out about new websites and products. I like that there are a wide variety of opportunities to take, so I can generally find something that’s easy and comfortable to talk about. I like the way PPP stands behind the bloggers, encouraging advertisers to just supply enough info to get us started, and not tell us what to say. Oh, there are advertisers that try to put words in our mouths, and their opps sit and sit and sit, while the ones who just say talk about xyz fly quickly, even if they pay less. PayPerPost is great for chatterboxes like me, because it pays me to blog, and I do enjoy blogging, oh yes I do

Here’s a snap shot of the “leader board”. I can’t figure out how to make it nice and square like I see it when I log in, but you will note that I am currently #4. That may drop depending on what happens with the puzzle thing today, but I have been consistently 7-9 before today. Four feels pretty good, LOL!

So what am I going to do with my bucks? Well, I’ve spent a bit this summer trying to get caught up on bills. I’ve been able to put my kids in scouts. I’ll be getting the Christmas lay-a-way out for the 2 littlest (and some things for the older ones) this week, and I am saving for another car. PPP enables us to do/have things that would be out of reach on just my DH’s salary, and I don’t have to go punch a clock to do it. Early in the morning, late at night, while I am sitting here pumping anyway, it’s all good to PPP. And since I get to say exactly what I really think, it’s all good to me. I am so glad I followed that link from J-Walk back in July. Approximately 2,000 dollars worth of glad.

In addition to the money, I’ve made friends with some really neat people. PPP has provided us a forum where we can hang out. It’s like an office water cooler, only without blocking the hallway, and with better jokes. I have fun there, chatting with the “posties”. We help each other with questions, and just shoot the breeze.

I recommend PPP to anyone, without and reservations. If you have opinions (Lord, don’t we all?) you can do this, and you can have fun doing it.

P.S. (I can’t even believe I forgot to say this) If you check PPP out, and decide to sign up, please enter my email in the referral box. I’ll get $5, and you’ll get paid to blog. It works out, yes? My email addy is cass at cassknits dot com.

Sweet!

But why is everyone posting screenshots of the leader board now that I got bumped down a peg?? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Jersey Girl said…
Nice post…I’m enjoying reading everyone’s stories. I’m still too far to be on the leader board, but I just may end up being the dark horse one day that comes up from behind! LOL

Steve said…
Great story, I don’t think I’ll make the leaderboard anytime soon tho, since I only got my one blog (for now, lol)

Puzzle Piece

Here’s one more piece of payperpostbluemonster. As I sit here waiting for the pieces to trickle out, I am once again amazed that one guy’s brain developed the idea of blog marketing to such a degree that hundreds are glued to the computer this afternoon, afraid even to get up to take care of basic personal needs. Oh, wait, maybe that’s just me.

Here’s 94:

Puzzle Piece 65

Here’s another puzzle piece for payperpostbluemonster. The children keep asking if I’ve won yet. Maybe they are just ready to have me back in the household mix, LOL! If you’ve glanced at Technorati in the past few days, you’ll see why blog ads are so effective, btw. And they’re fun, too!
Here’s piece 65:

PPP Blue Monster 53

One more piece for you! I am sitting here, trying to mellow out after that last flood of pieces, and I see a few more have released from those blog marketing gurus. Will you be up late tonight watching for the payperpostbluemonster? Yeah, me too. For now, I’m keeping it cool, except for my mouse finger.
