Vanity Advertising on PayPerPost is Addicting

by Chris Abraham on May 28, 2007 · 0 comments

I played around with a $100 credit that PayPerPost granted me to try out the service as an advertiser. “Cool,” I thought, “this is going to be fun.” I wrote my PayPerPost ad campaign blurb, “write About Chris Abraham’s Blog: Blog your very own opinion about my personal blog.” Amazingly egocentric, me.

So, put together an ad campaign as follows: “Go ahead, take a look. Write a blog entry about any part of my blog that tickles your fancy. Have fun. The only requirement is to mention me name, Chris Abraham and have the name link to the site, either the main site or any article therein. Explore your creativity. I don’t mind getting beat up a little if you think me a dork, a geek, or full of myself. I would, of course, prefer you to think of me as cool and interesting. It’s up to you.”

So, here’s everyone who has blogged me, out of full disclosure, eh?

PR Blog Post, Chris Abraham, Chris Abraham’s Blog, Best?, Blog Review, Site Review: ChrisAbraham.com, Crypto Christians and Carnivals, Who is Chris Abraham?, Why say more?, My online friends *are* real friends!, Free Online Video Tutorial On How To Start A Blog, Chris Abraham blog, Chris Abraham, Because The Medium Is The Message.

This can be totally addicting and addictive. I can’t wait until I have lots of overflow cash — I would do this constantly.

I love PayPerPost. Elegant is the idea that is so simple that nobody thought of it first. Abstract expressionism “could have been done by anyone” but wasn’t. I mean, how obvious is the PayPerPost plan? If paying bloggers between $5-$20-per-post, per blogger, is such a “duh” idea, why is Ted Murphy the only guy who thought of it and why is PayPerPost the only site that is doing it well?
