Writing For Money Is Cheap Already

When you see the title, I assume you knew what I mean. Writing for money is already cheap - especially if your site doesn't have a Google PageRank yet.

PPP for instance, it will be extremely rare to find an opportunity worth at least $5 if your site has a PR of less than 3. I've been seeing crap sites that offer $2.50, even as low as .50c!

What and How do you get a PageRank

In a very simple definition, a pagerank is a means to measure a site's authority. Google measures it by counting how many other sites links to you. The more links you have, the higher score you get. But there are other variables needed to compute for your rank, but it is simply an inbound link to your site.

You get a site to link you using various techniques. You can:
  • Comment to other sites and leave your URL
  • Join blog carnival
  • Submit your sites to directories
  • Join community events
  • Writing articles for ezine and other related sites.
  • etc...
But it requires a lot of time. And we are counting several months here.

Do you Still Continue Writing For Money?

Well, it is simply a matter of preference. If you think .50C per post is worth it, then go for it. Otherwise, do not post. I can understand why the price is getting cheap -- it's probably the economy or the market (meaning bloggers) accept the price and write. Personally, I wouldn't do it.
