Review: PayPerPost

I have been with PayPerPost, an online business that pays Bloggers to write sponsored content for them, since early August 2007. I have written about 7 Posts for them in this Blog so far (you can identify them by their "Sponsored" label) and have had both good and bad experiences with them.

Here's my story:-

The Good
(1) Support Ticket System - Fast response and some of the support personnel are very helpful.
(2) Active Community - Just pay a visit to their Forums section and you'll know what I mean; Some of the other Bloggers are very helpful too.
(3) PPP Direct - This is a feature of PayPerPost which brings advertiser directly to your doorstep. My first PPP Direct client found me within 2 weeks and if you are interested in reading this post, it is labelled as "PPP Direct".
(4) $1K Tuesday - There are loads of Opportunities (that pay a premium as high as $500), being released on every Tuesday. Such Opportunities are open to everyone, even those Blogs with a low Google Page Rank.

The Bad
(1) Support Ticket System - The response is fast but responses from some of the support personnel make you feel that they are more concerned with closing the ticket promptly rather than addressing your concerns
(2) Post Review - The posts are almost never reviewed within 72 hours as claimed by the TOS. I always have to send a trouble ticket to remind them.
(3) Payment - Have to wait for 30 days after your Sponsored Post has been put up.
(4) Opportunities - If you are joining this with hopes to snag a $500 Opportunity or even $50 ones, I would advise you to think again. Such Opportunities are rare gems and are snapped within seconds. No kidding, they are snatched the moment they are released. The highest amount I have gotten so far is $20.

The Verdict
It will be worth your while to sign up, but it will not make you the next Internet millionaire.
