I am fairly new to the idea of being paid to write about something online. When I purchased my own domain name a few days ago and started doing my blog, I wanted to do it for the sole purpose of being able to talk about things I love and being able to share it with anyone who would chance upon it. After looking at other blogs,I started to see that I could actually be doing that and also get a chance to be paid fairly well for it.
A friend of mine advised me to try PayPerPost, and told me that it was a good way to earn a little money on the side, while being able to write about things you like. So it got me curious, and I took it upon myself to try it out. After reading what kind of opportunities there were, I wanted to find out if I would be able to write about something that was being offered.
I had also read rather lengthily, that there are quite a few bloggers who don’t believe in PayPerPost scheme, and some even say it is doomed to fail. I totally disagree, because if you are a blogger, which usually says that you like writing about many different things, then it would be practically impossible for you not to want to write about something new. The idea of reading up on something you know very little about, and then writing about it, expands your knowledge on that topic. It also gives you a chance to want to know more about something and that is indeed something worth doing.
I would disagree on the premise of other bloggers that you would be “selling out” because you are writing a review or an opinion about something merely because you are being paid to do so. That is just not the case. There are many different topics you can choose to write about, which means that you aren’t being forced or coerced to write a positive review about something you don’t like. That is why you are shown an array of opportunities in your page in PayPerPost, so you can aptly choose which particular topics you would want to write about. If you don’t want to write about it, then don’t! It is by no means a mechanism that forces you to write about something you don’t want to. And that is the beauty of PayPerPost. Sure, you get paid to blog about something, but what’s wrong with that?
In the end, it’s just like playing basketball in the NBA. NBA players love playing the game, and the bonus they get from it, is that they get paid to do it. What could be better than that? It’s just like this. Bloggers write about anything and everything under the sun, because that is what they love to do. Being paid to do it does not undermine the truthfulness of what you have written. It is merely a bonus. And that’s why PayPerPost is a great idea, and that’s why I’m part of it.
