One reason a lot of people don’t practice their creative writing skills is because it doesn’t generate money while they do it — it doesn’t seem like a valuable time investment when you’re sitting there just trying out various creative writing ideas, generating fun little stories, but not much else for hours on end. (I mean, we all only have 24 hours a day, except for maybe Hermione Granger and Harry Potter and their little time-turner, so the rest of us have to make the most of the ones we do have. LOL)
We all would love to be the next bestselling author straight out of the gate, earning a 7 figure income while doing what we love, but what are the REAL chances of that without a few years of practice first? And practice of any sort generally is a non-paying job…
So while trying to figure out a much-needed way to hone my literary skills and also get paid while doing it, I ran across Pay Per Post. They offer you a way to help out advertisers and sponsors by reviewing their products or services in your blog, from anything from firefighter simulators and mystery shoppers to big Hollywood movies just released and charity events that want to spread the word and more, all while getting paid to do it. Each has an at-a-glance offer of what you can earn and what type of post they’d prefer, making it easy to decide which ones might suit you at any given time.
The great thing is you can match offers to your blog topics and you have freedom to write about them in your own style so they can ‘fit’ your ‘theme’ as much or as little as you want. And since Pay Per Post gives you a list of offers (topics), you don’t have to worry about ‘blank page syndrome’ when trying to decide what to write about! (Always fun for the ‘practicing writer’, in both senses of the phrase. =)
So why not make your blog yet another get creative writing tool in your quest to improve your writing skills AND get paid while learning your craft? (Don’t you just love win-win situations?) I do…
What are YOU going to do with all the money you earn!?!?!?!
