Welcome to Something for Nothing

My wife recently blogged about my addiction to PayPerPost. I must admit that it isn’t PayPerPost that I’m addicted to. I’m addicted to the money that PayPerPost sends to me. Wouldn’t you want to make money from blogging? A quick look at my blog certainly tells you that I don’t mind ads on blogs. In fact, I think it’s great for people to put ads on their blog anytime that they want. The key is to find ads that actually pay for being on your blog. Well, PayPerPost puts the money where there ads are and so why wouldn’t I love PayPerPost?

What my wife doesn’t understand is that I love the community of people that do PayPerPost as much as blogging. There’s a great community on the PayPerPost forums that has become quite close. We take care of each other. We help each other. We teach each other. We pray for each other. We give advice to each other. We comment on each other’s blogs. It’s great.

Today, my wife even mentioned that she was thinking about getting started with PayPerPost. I have enough blogs that she could share in the fun. She was concerned that she wouldn’t be very good. If you read the article she wrote about addictions then you know she’ll be fine. Really she was just confused about how you got paid. She thought you were rated and that determined your pay. I think she’ll really enjoy it. The hardest part will be doing it with my son. I’ve got a plan though.

Here’s my plan (although I thought I posted this somewhere):

Each night when I come home I will take my son to the park. This will let my wife have some quiet time and could enjoy doing PayPerPost. She’d be able to blog about whatever and make a little extra money for our family. What do you think? I can see it working.
