Ok, I get paid to blog...sometimes
There's a lot of ethical questions raised when people who use PayPerPost started blogging. I think it's definitely an issue to be dealt with. I personally am an advocate of PPP. I am using the money to contribute to the cost of studying abroad in Korea. It's totally up to the individual to disclose that certain posts are paid or not. I think that ethically, they should be obligated to disclose it. But then again, every time you see someone drinking Coke on a movie or tv show, you don't throw a fit. They get paid to make the actors drink coke in the movie/show. Same thing. In blogging, we have a lot more control and direct contribution to the Internet. PayPerPost advocates creating a disclosure policy to let your readers know how and when you will disclose or not disclose paid posts.
This system is great. You get to pick which posts you want to write for, and how you want to write about them. It is completely up to you as a blogger to decide how you want to take advantage of the opportunities. You can get paid to blog just like I do! Just like they said in spiderman though, "With great power comes great responsibility." So, uh, use your blogging power responsibility and don't just blog about stuff without thinking about it.
Bottomline, PayPerPost has done great things for me and the blogging world. They've enabled the average blogger and big-timer to come closer together. We all know that AdWords and services like that don't really profit bloggers with low traffic. PPP came to save the day! It helps to give bloggers something a little different to discuss and throw their two cents into. If advertisers really wanted to take to heart what the bloggers have to say about their products, PPP users can really provide a lot of valuable input that would normally cost a ton to drum up through focus groups and survey programs.
