I’m trying out a new method of monetizing The Get Rich Project - Pay Per Post “Review This Post” links (see the button below each post). I don’t know if this is a new service from PPP, but I’ve never heard of it before.

In essence it’s an affiliate scheme; a blogger places the button at the end of each of his posts, and if someone clicks on it, they get a unique Pay Per Post opportunity created for them. If they accept the opportunity and promptly sign up for PPP (new users only, I think), they will get $7.50 once the review is complete. Of course it wouldn’t be an affiliate scheme if you (the blogger, in this case me) weren’t getting paid, so when the review is posted, you get $7.50 as well. It might not seem like much, but if you have a large enough readership, it could prove a nice little earner.

Another benefit, is back links. Each review will link back to your blog, so as well as the financial benefits, you could end up with a substantial SERP + traffic boost.

All in all, it seemed a win-win deal. Of course, time will tell.

So Why Pay Per Post?

I actually signed up out of curiosity. There had been renewed buzz about PPP recently, so I wanted to see for myself what it was about. The “Review My Post” feature caught my eye, after I realised The Get Rich Project probably wouldn’t qualify for the Pay Per Post Marketplace (I have had a break of more than 90 days between posts recently). I’d like to try out the Marketplace, eventually, to see if it’s a better performer than ReviewMe (so if anyone from PPP wants to approve this blog, despite the break, I’ll happily write up a good word or two!).

So what do you think? Good idea, or waste of time? Would you try out “Rate My Post”?
