To Candid- Long story short- PPP actually changed my life.  Seriously.  My hubby hated his job and wanted to venture out on his own to start a business.  So, I used to write quite a bit for PPP to supplement my husbands income when he started up his business.  So, if I wasn't writing for PPP I would have to go get a real job (no more SAHM for me) or he wouldn't have been able to try his dream job.

I do have a personal blog that I do not use for PPP- so I am able to keep that just for fun and personal stuff.  I have a few other blogs that I use for PPP and other stuff as well.  If you write about things that are interesting to you it's not that bad to write for PPP.

I am certainly not a writer- blogging for me is just for fun and a way to keep from going insane with no one but a toddler to talk to all day.  For you- you are a very talented writer- I think it would be different.  If I could write like you do I don't know if I would use PPP.

Long story shorter. 

I must have money.  I have an ex-husband that is $37,000 behind in child support.  Oh yeah.  I am going to use my cc for writing.  And then direct people over to ccc for reviews and giveaways.  I want to start a $PPP$ but help me out so I don't have to re-invent the wheel.  Who do you like and why?

I like pay per post the best.  I've made the most money with them.  They are owned by a group called Izea- and they also own Social Spark.  You don't get as much work with Social Spark but they are good too.  Those are the only two I write for right now.

I've also written for Review Me in the past and if you have at least a PR of 3 you can get work to do for them.  I've actually written for most of the paid posting companies out there, but other than Pay Per Post, Social Spark and Review Me I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

I like SponsoredReview,i got opps a few days after my blog was approved, and also they pay every two weeks, unlike PPP which is every month.

The thing I don't like about Sponsored Reviews is that after the initial opps that I did- there wasn't much else to do. 

Lately it seems like there isn't a whole lot to do in PPP either though.  A whole bunch of $5 posts for 200 words is all I've been seeing lately.

I just applied and got accepted at the sponsored post place that was recommended over here.  They gave me a sign on bonus of two hundred dollars. 

Alright, not really but that just shows you I can write interesting topics that people want to read.  Someone, hire me.

I know, bec it's eaither most of the opps are only available with higher PR, but anyway, I have a friend who do PPP and although she earned a few bucks but not that much and she was so mad when she saw her name on their front page higher earner area, it say's there that she earned like $16,000.00 which of course she didn't and she's so furious about it,she tried to contact PPP but to no avail.

Yeah- those top earners numbers are messed up.  I've been in the top for the month where it says I've earned at least double what I really earned.

I dumped PPP, (well, actually they dumped me, I just wrote that to make me feel better), anyway as I was saying, they say on their email  that my blog wasn't qualified for their final review etc etc that I didn't meet the requirements for premiere account which is like at least 50k unique visitors a month, oh well, but I feel ok because  of that, I was accepted at PayU2blog which is way better because they sent an opps every monday so there's no competition regarding the opps, and get paid every after two weeks and I totally love it, actually the only requirements of PayU2blog is no disclosure policy which PPP required and also no PPP banner, so being dumped by PPP is like a blessing in disguised bec now I got the better one.

What type of things do you have to do for Review Me and what qualifications do you need besides a PR of 3? I wonder if I can do it with my BlogHer ads? Anyone know?

I did one sponsored review.  For me it was a lot of fun because I tried really hard to make it blend in and keep with me regular writing voice.  I felt I really accomplished something when few people realized it was something I got paid for doing.  But this sponsor didn't want actual obviously links and there were three phrases I had to link to the words. That way it shows up in search engines but not obvious in my writing. 

Has anyone had luck with genuinejobs.com?

this is what I like with PayU2Blog, all the opps is in free form, so you have to just write a regular post and insert the text link they want.very easy to do.

genuine jobs keeps updating ... i did learn to send a "test" first because a couple of times I have written my heart and soul out to try to get attention from the reader only to have the email come back that the account was closed (which usually means the position has been filled)
