why I like payperpost - an unabashedly off-topic post ;-)

Recently I purchased the educational book "Blogging for Dummies," to figure out some ways to spiffy up my blogging. Although blogging is addictive and fun in and of itself, everything is made better when you can make a few bucks off of it (although purists may disagree). In any case, it listed some ways to "monetize" your blog and one of the better ones out there is payperpost - which I had known about before in my prior life as a website designer but am now revisiting as a blogger.

So I haven't always been a blogger - c'mon, we aren't born this way - it takes over sometime after the (usually) adolescent years (or in my case as a stay at home mom of a 2 year old to help me maintain my sanity). Payperpost is a nifty program that allows you to post for dollars - without selling your soul. As in, you can be honest and truthful in your opinions. Family and friends are always asking me, oh is that a new computer game you are playing?
What do you do on the computer? They just blink when I say "blogging" - and stare at me some more when I mention how blogging can be a valid income maker.

They are probably thinking - "there she goes again something about computers" - OK can you tell I'm not from the most techno-savvy family? But it's all good...I've found tons of ways to monetize my hobbies - now getting down to the nitty gritty and doing it is another thing. Payperpost is a little different than most monetization methods - a little friendlier, a little cooler, and it's still popular and going strong - over a year after I first ran into it.
