Maybe we should adapt this for the office?

Just a quick note, I’ve been having some minor medical problems lately hence the lack of posting. I’m slowly working my way back up to a normal posting flow, and everything should be back to normal soon.

Thanks for hanging in there!

I’ll be out of town until Sunday, and I plan to start regular updating again on Monday.

Have a good one!

I wrote an earlier post about the new program I’m trying, PayPerPost (a blog marketing network), and they’ve just released a new feature which I think is pretty interesting. Basically, I can add a link at the end of any of my posts (sponsored and non-sponsored) that allows someone to review my post via PayPerPost. Once this person signs up, they get an immediate opportunity that allows them to review my post on their site and then they earn a commission. I earn the same commission once their post gets approved. I find this system particularly interesting because it means that you don’t necessarily have to take commission in order to make money via PayPerPost. Also, it builds links to your site which is a nice bonus feature.

You may have noticed that some of my posts lately have had “This is a sponsored post” at the end of them. This is because I’m trying out a new system called PayPerPost, a company that specializes in blog marketing. At PayPerPost, advertisers pay bloggers to write about a certain topic. However, the bloggers have complete control over whether or not they want to take on a commission from an advertiser, and full disclosure is required by PayPerPost on these posts (In my case, “This is a sponsored post.”). The commissions are pretty good, as they only charge a small service fee compared to other similar sites. In fact, if you have a high traffic blog you can earn some serious commissions (I’ve seen some for $50 or more, up to a $1,000). Even if you don’t have a high traffic site, you can still earn some nice commissions.

I like this system because it allows me to keep the integrity of my site intact. For example, some advertisers specify that they want a positive review. Personally, I don’t agree with that so I only take commissions where I can be completely objective about the subject matter and I always check out the site first before I write about it. This has worked out well for me. Also, it has allowed me to remove the Google ads from the individual posts, which is a nice bonus.

Overall, it’s working out great for me, I’ll keep you posted as time goes on.

Off to Chicago for the weekend, I may try to post when I’m in the windy city but most likely my hands will be frozen at that point.

Hope you guys have a good weekend, I’ll return on Monday.

Happy Holidays from Workplace Life!

I’m going out of town but I should be back by the end of next week. Hope everybody has a safe and happy holiday!

If you need a break from that spreadsheet you’re working on, take a look at this blog by my friend Lawrence Tan: Slanteyes-Reflections. It’s basically some of his thoughts about his life and I think it’s pretty damn interesting. Definitely a good read, check it out.

It’s been a long time in the making, but I’ve finally finished the new layout to the point where I can use it. Take a look around, let me know what you think via the comments in this post.

Some notable changes:

* Google search has been removed for the moment, I’ll probably put it back in but I need to find a place for it. I think the new site search works better.

* Adsense ads will be reincorporated at some point.

* No more sidebar jazz, I thought it was getting too busy.

I’ll be making some tweaks here and there over the following weeks.

Enjoy!

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! Have a good one and I’ll see you guys on Monday.
