Words unsaid

There are days when words flow with a volition of their own and then there are days when thought refuses to be tied down to the beat of fingertips punching away on a keyboard. This is one of those day I guess. I have a mosaic of ideas in my head but each one is more illusive than the other. It is hard to pick out any one form or hue. All are gathered together in a collage that has fuzzy edges and a distant appeal. I think no one thread to be strung out today. No particular thoughts to be penned down today.

Link exchange & Technoarti Fav

We blog and blog and then we sit back and wait for traffic. You write and the echoes of your words float in the cyber world. Is there any one out there?

Yes! There are many many people out there. Reaching them can be easier than you think. Here is an idea. Drive traffic to your blog through link exchange and technoarti fav exchange. Your ratings will jump up and you will have traffic coming in nice and quick.

Add my blog to your technoarti favs by clicking here and leave your blog's url in a comment. I shall gladly reciprocate. Also, you can do the same for link exchange. Do mention whether you want to opt for technoarti favs or link exchange or both.

P.S. link exchange => you link to my blog and I will link to yours.

PayPerPost begins!

So I signed up for PayPerPost, brought my blog back to life and started taking blogging seriously again. I missed being away. And I am sure glad to be back. Also, I have been hearing about friends monetizing blogs and making a little or lot of money. I thought shall look in to this.


I have looked through quite a few scams so for starters PayPerPost is different. It has worked well for an acquaintance and many thanks to him I am following in his footsteps now. PayPerPost is simple. You get paid for posting on your blog.

How? First you sign up at www.payperost.com. Add a blog and await approval. The criteria for approval are clearly listed on the web site. In case you do not meet all requirements you will be notified. Thus, you know exactly how to fix the issue. Once on board, look at opportunities you qualify for. These are also clearly listed and easy to find at the site's user friendly interface. Choose opportunities you like and reserve them. Write a post based on guidelines listed in the opportunity, publish post on your blog, update blog post url at payperpost.com and you are on your way to make some money. Voila! You can get paid through paypal and yes you DO get paid. I will put my credibility on line for this one. This ain't a scam.

I am a beginner and all excited. For now I am saving for vacation. Where my vacation will be depends on how well this venture turns out. But I tell you I am optimistic. So do not wait and get going.

Why do people blog?

I have been thinking over blogging for a while now and cannot help but ask why people blog? Is it the desire to be heard or the need to express or in the light of the growing online marketplace plain simple monetization of customized content.

Why do you blog?

ebuzzing: The new advertiser-blogger platform

The internet is the new marketplace of today's economy. It liberates the problem of coordination from time and space. You can be any where in the world at any hour of the day and still be a producer, consumer or the middleman in the global economy. All you need is a computer, internet and a platform: a platform that connects those with needs to those who can fulfill these needs.

I chose my platform to be ebuzzing. Why? Because it is simple enough for me and offers choices.

The way it works is simple. Say you are a blogger and want to monetize your blog or aspire to write about services that you and your audience find of interest. You sign up at www.ebuzzing.co.uk. You get an email to confirm your registration and you are registered. Voila! Next you add your blog or blogs. You can enter as many blogs as you want in to categories that help you define your content and focus. Next you wait for your blog(s) to be validated. Why? Because your blog needs to meet certain criteria for you and ebuzzing to have a mutually fruitful relationship.

While you await validation you do not have to sit back or tap your fingers. Your registration entitles you to explore the opportunities at the platform. You can browse through campaigns launched by advertisers and write for advertisers whose criteria you meet. Each campaign has a 'brief'. This brief lets you know about how the campaign you are interested in is to work. Upon finding interest in a campaign and meeting the advertiser's criteria, you can write an article about the campaign. Every article written by you requires validation from ebuzzing to become eligible for payment. Also, the article must be validated before it can be posted on your blog.

The standard reward per article is £10. However, the rate is not fixed. You can set your own rate through ebuzzing direct or qualify for a higher rate through meeting criteria for campaigns that pay higher. You earn revenue per article 30 days after the article appears on your blog. Once you earn £50 or more you can start receiving the fruits of your labor. Again ebuzzing offers you options. You are not restricted by any one mode of payment but can pick from three (i.e. payment by check, bank transfer or paypal).

This said, step in to explore the new dimension of blogging through the valuable new platform of ebuzzing. The web site is simple and user friendly. The interface helps you find the information you need and also offers you contact information for assistance. This is a new opportunity that demands nothing more than trying.

Try it!
