I have been writing blog ads for PayPerPost for a couple of years now. There are some things I like about it and some things that I would be glad to see changed. As it stands now, PayPerPost has actually implemented some changes by going live with their new PayPerPost v4.0. There are many things that are going to be different for bloggers using this new version.

First off, there is no busy dashboard to wade through. Also, bloggers only receive offers for which they are eligible. This is lots easier than going through pages of lists for offers for which a blog may or may not qualify. Bloggers can then decide whether or not to accept the offered post. This seems to make it easier for advertisers to match their ads to appropriate blogs. And it will work out easier for bloggers too. Bloggers can opt to add more blogs to the lineup, making for more opportunities to write ads. All posts will be reviewed within three days, letting bloggers know if there are any requested changes. I definitely like having three days to get a post written rather than a few hours.

The only downside I can see so far to this newer version is the payment release. If I understand correctly, you can only have your payment released after reaching a $50 thresh hold. I guess this is due to the fees that may accrue for the transfer of funds at a lower transaction amount. But I really don’t like the idea that my five or ten dollars can be held up indefinitely until I am offered enough work to reach $50. Since I am not sure how that will all work out, I am willing to give it a go and see how it works.
