Todays photo is of a baby squirrel in a nest in our backyard. My sister was in the back yard and she shouted up to me for binoculars, I guess there are some squirrels as well as a family of woodpeckers out in the big backyard tree. Both families have made homes in some of the places where branches have snapped off in big wind storms. Continue reading Photo-A-Day #788 06/05/07 →

Blogging

Why I Love PPP….

Some people do not like PPP, but you know what, I love them. I have been writing for PPP since last October. In that time I have made a good sized chunk of change. I made enough to move one of my blogs onto its own domain as well as pay for hosting for a couple of years. I said one of my blogs, I have 4 now. I maintain 4 blogs on a daily basis. PPP has turned me into a chronic blogger and I love it. I now have this blog, www.benspark.com which is mostly about my Photo-A-Day project, the occasional contest, like my BenSpark’s Refreshing Soda-Club Contest… that I am working in conjunction with a company called Soda-Club, I have been talking to them about becoming a PPP advertiser. So I’m not only building relationships with other Posties but I am building relationships with advertisers as well. I am very adamant about making sure I disclose that my posts are sponsored when they are and I try first and foremost to bring my readers, a group which as grown tremendously since the onset of working with PPP I might ad, great content on a daily basis.

I am more aware of who is reading my blog, people are interacting with this blog and my three others (BenSpark 2: Electric Boogaloo, Flatwater Tech, and The Wired Kayaker). And not all of my blogs are about simply blog marketing, they are about topics that people enjoy like: movies, technology, and photography. And my newest pet project is a semi weekly podcast on the Wired Kayaker.

Through networking with other bloggers I was asked to moderate a forum, write a weekly column and be a beta tester for the site FuelMyBlog. I find that being honest with people up front about the blog marketing that I am doing and not cheating them on the solid content has made me a much better blogger and it is with the help and support of PayPerPost that I have been able to achieve that. I have even been corresponding with some of the PayPerPost team themselves including Ted Murphy, the CEO and founder of PayPerPost. I hope I can get out to PostieCon and meet the team, especially Ashley, we will have to do a podcast together.
