You've seen the advertorials I've put up in the previous months, and you are probably wondering if this blog marketing actually pays off?
Well, it certainly does for me. I have been quite picky as to which opportunities I've accepted based on the subject as well as the remuneration offered for them, and the 15 opportunities taken made me a grant total of USD154 so far.
It may not seem a lot to you, but here's what a 150 dollars can do when donated to a Mexican nonprofit community health organization:
- a medical consult for 10 women, or
- a cervical and breast cancer prevention workshop for 90 participants, or
- purchase materials for 100 pregnancy tests.
If you want to spend the cash on yourself, you could get the 2GB iPod nano for $149 and still have some cash left to get some funky songs to put on it. Or why not use the extra money to take your loved one(s) out for a meal?
Sure those are just examples of what you can do with the money earned from blog marketing. I haven't bought myself an iPod though. Instead I've invested in other things:
Second Life - Donations to Centro Mujeres Mexico - Donations for the tor project - ...
I'm a strong believer in karma - most of you know that very well by now - and like to accept with one hand and give with the other. The payperpost people allow me to monetize my time and knowledge and give to causes I care for. Thanks!
