So I'm trying a new thing. I found out about this opportunity through another blog, and I have been thinking about it for a while. The company, PayPerPost, does just what it sounds like- it pays you to write. There are many different categories offered, from parenting/family issues to business issues and lots of other things in between. The minimum pay is $5.00 per post, and so far I've seen as high as $20.00 per post. The cool thing is that you can select which things you want to write about. Now some might argue, "Five dollars for a post? I'm worth more than that!" But think about this: if it takes you, say, fifteen minutes to write a blog post, then you are actually getting paid $20.00 an hour. Or, if you choose an opportunity that pays $7.00, then that is $28.00 per hour. How many opportunities do you find like that, and all from the comfort of your own home/laptop? There is a process where Pay Per Post must approve your post, and there are minimum word guidelines to follow. But frankly, I'm excited to see what happens.

As a family, we have been trying to build up an "emergency fund" for things like car repairs, accidents, medical needs, braces, etc. But the amount we have budgeted for that means a very slow growth for that fund. And you know the story: just as you are making headway in building up this fund your mechanic asks, "Did you know your brakes need to be replaced?" or something else just as serious. My hope is that with Pay Per Post we might be able to build up that fund at a quicker pace!!

If this sounds interesting to you, then click on the purple Pay Per Post link to the left on my sidebar. That will take you directly to their website where you can read all about this opportunity in greater detail. If you like to write, and I suspect you do if you have your own blog, then why not check it out?
