So, in case you’ve been keeping up with my journal and wonder what the HELL is going on with my random posts with one random link, let me introduce you to something that I “accidentally” got involved with.
Blog to Profit.
I heard about them from another blog, and figured I’d try it. This other blogger promised lots of cash just for writing entries. So I signed up, and they told me I could get $5/entry if I wrote a decent-sized blog entry about one of their topics, including a link that they provide. They gave me general categories that I could choose from, and then suddenly, $25 appeared in my inbox from PayPal and then an email telling me I had a week to write them, and here were the links. I was taken aback that they paid first- I thought I’d have more time to decide whether or not I was in the program- and then suddenly I was in knee deep, and the only way to get out was to write.
I didn’t really like any of my link topics, but it was actually kind of fun to write with a severe challenge. What the hell can I say about male baldness? Hmmm… pubic hair! I didn’t want to appear like a full-on sell out, so I just tried to make the entries as interesting as possible. I don’t get any additional money for the number of times a link has been clicked, so I’m sorry if you clicked on it and didn’t want to have anything to do with my blogging for profit.
So, if you did catch on to my last few entries and wondered what the hell was going on… what did you think? If I continue to do this Blog to Profit thing (I’ve said I don’t want to, for the moment), would you stop reading? I’ve already started a new category that each “To Profit” entry is categorized under, but outside of that, I’m not sure how else I could set them apart.
Maybe I should start a whole new blog just for the To Profit parts? Am I selling out?
You may have also noticed at the bottom of the menu bar, that I have a google ad. My first one! I’m actually pretty excited about it, and don’t think that I’ll make any money from it, but it’s non-invasive and doesn’t interupt the design scheme or anything… it’s just kind of there.
I really AM a sell out! Please tell me what you think about my To Profit-ing.
You ended up with more obscure topics than I did I think. I actually got one on tattoos!
