Blogging for Pay?
Is blogging for pay a legitimate income opportunity? If you start looking into this question on the internet, you’ll find different opportunities available. Some involve being hired to run blogs for companies promoting certain positions or issues, or just company blogs - these positions of course require an existing blog, and sometimes extensive writing experience. Then there is monetizing your blog using Google Adsense, very few requirements but you don’ t have any control over the ads (could be risky for a Christian website).
But there is another option as well! You might have been hearing about PayPerPost lately. I know that I had heard of the phenomenon once or twice before Penny Raine mentioned on a mutual Christian mamma e-mail list that she was blogging with PayPerPost. That is what triggered my interest in looking into the opportunities offered by this company.
Yes, you can get paid to blog! It is essentially a form of paid advertising on your blog, but better than adsense or similar programs, because you get to CHOOSE what you blog about, how you present your content etc. And for Christians this is SO very important, that our testimony not be compromised, that our yes means yes and our no means no.
The amount of money earned is dependent upon the nature of the item you are writing about, each is assigned with a certain dollar value, and you need to qualify for different opportunities based upon the quality of your blog and other factors. This is definitely a do-able way to earn a bit of income from your existing blog. The PayPerPost website shows that some of their bloggers are making fairly decent part-time incomes, and Penny is making some good ‘pin money’ too! My first goal is to cover the hosting expenses for my blog and website, since we don’t have a ‘free site’ blog, we pay for our own hosting. After that, well, we are a homeschooling family, and I LOVE books!
My existing readers can rest assured that NO content inconsistent with my walk in faith with Jesus Christ will appear on this blog due to my new relationship with PayPerPost, and that is the most beautiful thing about it all! I can monetize my blog, and still maintain a high quality site of integrity for my readers. I would definitely recommend them to any Mom looking for a bit of supplementary income.

it is true! I received a very much needed $105 paypal paycheck today, for something I would have been happy to write about anyway, this has been a great oportunity for me. Hubby is a minister and we live off of what is given to our ministry, things have been extremely rough the last year, and with all the prices going up, it is nice to have something extra coming in. Often it is the money in our paypal account that pays for gas to keep us ministering.
blessings! Penny

Thanks for sharing Penny! How wonderful for some of your ministry needs to be met this way! So far, seems pretty easy. This post was approved very quickly, so now I’m just waiting for payment :). Now I just need to find out how I can qualify for more opportunities - any tips?
Love,
