Here’s a way to make some money with your writing if you blog

This is major news in my writing life and career, so I wanted to share it with you all: This blog and one other which I do (Just a Guy Who Reads the Papers) have been approved for "PayPerPost" blogging.

This is good news for me, as it's the first blogging/writing I've done on the Internet which offers a legitimate, significant amount of income from my Internet writing. This is potentially good news for you because I intend to use the opportunity to 1) give you, my good readers, a practical "workshop" on writing ad copy and news "briefs," and, 2) introduce you to some worthwhile products and services in the paid posts I choose to take.

And that's the beauty about PayPerPost -- no one holds a gun to my head or threatens my firstborn son to make me post paid advertising. Here's how it works:

Once my blog (this one and the other) is approved by PayPerPost for "Marketplace Opportunities," I am free to choose any of a couple of dozen paid posts available. The advertiser makes it clear exactly what he wants, along with some key words and links to be included, and I write the post. Assuming I do it right, the post is approved, and 30 days after approval the agreed upon money appears in my PayPal account.

Nice "gig" if you blog or if you want to blog.

If you're interested, you can find out more -- and possibly gain me a small "referral fee," though I'm not clear yet exactly how referrals work -- by clicking on the button in the sidebar which says "get paid to blog about things you love."

If you're not interested, you're perfectly free to ignore any "paid" posts I put on the blog. I do hope, however, that you'll stay around and we can all learn together!
