One of the blogging companies that I do a fair amount of work for is holding it’s first ever blogging conference in just a few months. PostieCon 07 is touted as being the largest gathering of bloggers from around the world.
PostieCon is using the theme “You’re a Rock Star” for this event because it believes that bloggers and Internet personalities are an important part of this information age, and that any blogger, big or small, could become a “rock star” in the world of bloggers.
The conference has been developed in order to educate bloggers on how to build site traffic and readership. You can’t gain noterity in the world of blogging if no one knows you’re out there.
Some of the worlds biggest bloggers will be speaking at the convention and by attending you can use the information that they give you to become a better blogger. Bloggers voices are being heard around the world. We influence the media and new trends. By learning from the top bloggers you can use their knowledge, experience and perspective to rise to the top and make your own blogging voice heard as well.
The events start on Thursday May 31 with a pre-conference “Hello my name is … ” meet and greet in the city of Orlando Florida. The next two days, June 1st through June 2nd will be filled with speeches from top bloggers, meal breaks and social events where you can meet fellow bloggers. The PostieCon event will end with a dinner and the Bloggers Choice Awards on the evening of Saturday June 2nd.
Spaces are filling fast so register to attend now. Plus, if you register between now and May 18th you can take advantage of their discount price and “Backstage Pass”, but after the 18th of May the price will go up by $50. Book your space for the largest gathering of bloggers ever right now.
Back in December Payperpost introduced a really nice affiliate program that would easily allow any new people interested in writing for Payperpost to sign up. See that banner over in the top right of my sidebar? That’s what Payperpost introduced in December.
Now they’ve introduced another interesting feature. See the badge at the end of this post? It says Review my post. Well, if you click that you can review this post.
I’m sure that you realize that by reviewing one of my posts on your site you’ll be helping to increase my blog traffic, but what’s in it for you?
Well, how about some money? Payperpost is willing to pay you to review my post. Sounds interesting doesn’t it? Payperpost will pay you $7.50 if you review my post. I’ll get a link from your site, maybe a bit more traffic, and $7.50 as well for introducing you to payperpost.
To use this new feature all you have to do is click on that button below. I believe that it will take you to a page where you will sign up for Payperpost. You’ll need to submit the blog that you wish to write your review of my post on at the same time.
I think your blog must be approved before you can write the post. So, please be sure that your blog is eligible for payperpost before you go ahead and do this. Your blog must be 90+ days old, and have at least 20 posts with no gaps of 30 or more days. Payperpost has stated that they are approving new blogs that come in through the Review my post system quickly so you shouldn’t have to wait too long before you can write a post on your site reviewing my post.
I’m pretty sure that they will pay you 30 days after your review is approved - just like they do for all of the posts that I write for them.
Once you sign up with Payperpost and have a blog accepted you’ll be known as a “Postie” and you’ll be able to add this nifty new “Review My Post” badge to your site as well. Then you can start earning money when others review your posts. You can of course also write some of the paid advertising opportunities that you’ll find on Payperpost’s system once you are a member, but if you want to just be an affiliate that’s fine too.
So … who would like to be the first to review one of my posts?
Hi All!
I just wanted to let you know that Odd Planet is a year old today!
It’s been quite a ride getting here! This wasn’t Odd Planets first home. It started out on a free website where I had a chance to earn a bit of money just by maintaining the site, but I felt that Odd Planet would be better off on it’s own domain, or at least a sub domain of Feverishthoughts.com.
The site’s evolved since it moved in August and has a lot more topics, but I’ve still maintained it’s original purpose of trying to bring a smile to my readers each day by posting odd stories from around the world and the occasional funny picture too.
I hope you’ve been enjoying Odd Planet over the past year.
I love your comments and hope that you continue to leave them for me when I post something you enjoy.
Also, feel free to submit photos and stories that you’d like to see me expand on here on Odd Planet.
I don’t think I’ve mentioned my other new site yet. If you enjoy music and like listen to live guitar why don’t you come on over to Guitar Licks and see what I’m writing about over there. I’d love to find out if you like the new site too.
This weeks theme is PLUSH
Oh wait a minute. Did I make a mistake? I thought the theme was LUSH. Oops! Guess not. But this little guy sure does look like a lush doesn’t he? Wonder if he had a hangover in the morning, and if he did, if he tried to cure it with a little hair of the dog. LOL
Alright then, guess I’d better find a photo that fits this weeks theme of Plush.
Aw a rat that loves it’s plush toy kangaroo. Don’t they make a great couple?
Ok maybe that’s not quite plush enough to suit the theme this week, or is it? Well just to be sure:
Is that a hamster? I think it is. Well with that long luxurious hair I’m sure it fits the plush theme.
