PayPerPost Punks: Punked?

The economy crisis (we globally call it recession) in the United States have been so much affecting everyone else all around the world. Seems like some countries depend on USA in some ways.

The recession is still on. Obama hasn't eradicated it yet, right? I'm no US citizen but I look up to him to solve this global crisis.

Because of this recession we're experiencing right now, not only are offline businesses affected, but also those online! Just recently, PayPerPost bloggers have shrieked to their dismay to see that a lot of paid post opportunities have abnormally went down from around $5-10 worth offers to $0.50-1.25 worth offers.

What happened? Is this because of the recession or is there another reason for such occurrence?

Not all PPP bloggers are affected

Not all PPP bloggers feel negative about the pricing down of such offers. There are still numerous offers that go beyond the $5 line but they are either for:

  • PR 3 up
  • Locations: America/Europe/Canada (in different combinations)
  • Blogs with custom domain (varies widely)

Seeing this, we could tell that the ones greatly affected are:

  • Asians, which have a large base of bloggers
  • Bloggers that can't afford to buy a custom domain (which is cheap by the way)
  • Those blogs with PR of 1 to 3

Find Alternatives

I know you'd say, "Of course!" to this. PPP is just one of the many sites for online advertising/paid posting. There's still Blogsvertise, ReviewMe, SocialSpark and a lot more.

And if you don't want those, you could try other money making online schemes.

Final Notes

I know looking at those 50 cent worth opportunities in PayPerPost can be a bit discouraging and freaky. But just remember, PPP is not everything. The online world offers a lot of venues of making money.

And one more piece of advice, don't be a PayPerPost punk if ever PPP's ground is up again.
