The headline says it all, sorta. Through February 2007, check it out.

We have found that advertisers who have used RM have been impressed and keep coming back for more reviews. So our biggest challenge is getting an advertiser to try it once. To encourage new advertisers we are offering a special coupon code that will give advertisers 50% off any review they purchase this month. The cool part is 100% of the sale price will go to the blogger so there is no discount in payout.

For advertisers to use the 50% off coupon they simply have to enter: trial

I have yet to try this service as either a blogger or advertiser, but I think this is finally my calling to try it out! I’m actually thinking about trying PayPerPost too, something I thought I’d never say 3 months ago.

Hat tip Aaron Wall.

On more of a PPP topic, it seems today they now require more disclosure?

PayPerPost Takes Transparency to A New Level with Launch of In-Post “Disclosure Badges” Badges Included in Sponsored Content Expand at Reader’s Discretion To Reveal Ad Space, Benefiting Readers and Advertisers Alike

A salesperson did contact me today to try and sell me on the service. He was very helpful and made a lot of sense. Again, I’m still debating to try it or not, probably at least first from an advertiser standpoint. I mean, after all Ted Murphy (PPP CEO) is a fucking marketing genius.

Don’t forget sponsoredreviews.com either. Lot’s to navigate.

Business Around A Lifestyle

The world changed on 9/11 in so many different ways. Since that day, there has been a major shift happening in the way people think and live their lives. Sure, many people still chase the dollar as their ultimate goal. However, many more people have begun to realize that the world could, well, end tomorrow.

That's why people are choosing to pursue a business around a lifestyle, instead of a lifestyle controlled by their business. It makes sense, right? If the world was going to end tomorrow, would you still try to live your life in a way you never wanted to?

Take a look around you and you'll see that this shift to becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur is being adopted by more and more people every day. Some of those people are falling into it because they have been laid off from their jobs and are literally forced into it. Some of those people just figure out a way to make it happen because of the "end of the world" thinking mentioned above.

Btw, I love the Mybloglog image integration with the comments. Is that custom coded or is there some sort of plugin already built?

That’s a checkbox add-in direct from MBL. They rule, which is probably why Yahoo! bought them eh? :)

Super Jim. PPP would be a great platform for getting multiple perspectives/mentions of BlogKits or your other projects. You already host a “PayPerPost is Awesome!” page the Posties would appreciate ;-)

Provide an entertaining topic and let bloggers run with it…

If you try writing some sponsored posts, keep your quality high. PPP segmentation incorporates your quality score (similar to ebay buywr/seller feedback). More segmentation/quality equals higher paying opps.

You’re so creative elsewhere, I look forward to seeing how you leverage this platform…

I don’t think I would ever write a sponsored post, that’s just not my thing. I dunno. You guys have been making good strides. At least now I’ll consider it.

When do I get my check by the way? lol
