Forest Parks,
I struggled in the beginning. Keep at it check out others who are writing them. You’ll get better. What helped me was I stopped thinking of them as paid post and thought, Hmm how would I talk about this to someone in person. How would I market their company?

But I am enjoying the fact that I can spend the time on my blog and know that I can earn a small amount of money from it.

I won’t be stopping anytime soon. I will just strive to get better.

I can only judge based on what has happened with me but my bids are usually approved on Sponsored Reviews and the direct offers I’ve received from review websites have all been over $100. The highest was $150. Those businesses that want more than a link bait will look for other things.

I know I as a business owner am looking for that “extra” and when I do use advertising I will look at those bloggers that do that. I know I’ll be paying the bloggers more than they can normally make doing three reviews from Pay Per Post. I’ll be paying them directly.

Thanks for linking to Christine’s post. I stopped by her virtual home. I really like it. I’ll be back.

In general, I write far more sponsored posts than what is good for my blog. However, as of late I actually depend on the money I am getting from those posts. So, I must do it.

As for the content of My Spnsored posts, some are much better than others, clearly. Nevertheless, I think my sponsored posts always have at least some of my own opinion and creative juices in them, and that’s all you can expect.

PayPerPost has a rule that you can do 3 sponsored posts per day with one non-sponsored post in between each one. So, they’re forcing you to do 6 posts.

If I did 6 posts per day, would all of my readers read all 6? No. Would they read some, of course. So, my take on it is if the sponsor has something interesting my readers will read my post about it, regardless of if it is the first post in the list, or the last.

My Homepage lists 5 posts. If you skim over title’s, pictures and content you can decide which post you want to read. My RSS feed has 10, and is only titles. My Blog Search and Calendar are very useful.

Basically, even if a post is not the first part there are various ways to find it within my blog. So, I don’t think I have any responsibility to keep a post on top for awhile.

Thanks Bush. It’s not very often that a comment makes me really sit down and think. But I do appreciate it.

Your comment really did make me sit down and really consider what it is that I do, and why I do it. You’ve really given me a new outlook on the whole issue.
