Pay Per Post Frustration

Well its gone from having no opportunities to having more that I've ever had.

I have taken 6 or 7 opportunities in the last week and a half, sometimes 2 per day. The problem is that 2 posts have been disallowed. It just so happens that one of these was a $15 opportunity, the highest I've taken from Pay Per Post.

The reason the first post was disallowed was due to it appearing next to another sponsored post from pay per post. Fair enough I should have remembered their policy and posted a non sponsored post in between. But they didn't even give you the chance to re-submit the post, which I thought was a little poor seen as you'd got the post ready. Surely the advertiser would like the posts and links up sooner rather than waiting for someone else to write the post.

Anyway, fair enough on that one. In between this I took an opportunity from Social Spark, this post got approved and then I posted one from Pay Per Post. Now pay per post said that this post was no good due to the post around it not been good enough. I know they own both businesses through IZEA but c'mon. There is nothing to say that any post isn't "sponsored" from somewhere as most places ask you not to put that fact! So I felt a little sore over that one. A possible $25 extra to the total gone after the work had been done.

Anyway, 2 posts from social spark completed, (one still awaiting approval) and 7 posts completed and approved from pay per post (it so could have been 9). So once payments have been made I will update the totals.

Social Spark

I have just signed up and had one of my blogs approved at:



This is a social community/pay per post site from IZEA the owners of PayPerPost. So far I have applied for a few blogging opportunities but there looks to be a queuing system if all possibilities have been taken.

Payments seem to be higher that PayPerPost for blogs without PR. As high as $27.50 if you have a blog fitting the correct topic and $12 for general every topic blogs.

Here's hoping it turns out to be as lucrative as PayPerPost where I have just had 2 more posts approved.
