Insight: How a Blogger Takes an Opportunity with PayPerPost

Fri, 27 Jul 2007 16:00:08 GMT

Many of you are already Posties, and loyal supporters of PayPerPost. If you're not terribly familiar with the PayPerPost's consumer-generated marketplace, following is a look--from a Blogger's point-of-view--on taking an "Opportunity." (This is such a great tutorial we also posted it on our company blog.)

Once a Postie (Bloggers who use the PayPerPost marketplace) has submitted and had their blog approved by PayPerPost, they can begin taking Opportunities through the Marketplace. These Opportunities are created by Advertisers, and the campaign criteria is set-forth by them.

Here is what it looks like for a Blogger, step-by-step!

1. Log into your account and click on the Open Opportunities tab, at the top of your account.

2. This page will show you all the Opps currently out in the system, to see the ones your blog(s) qualifies for, click the blue Qualified Opportunities button.

3. The next page will show you Opps that suit your blog based on categories, your PR, and tack ratings. Click on the title of an Opp that interest you.

4. The next page will show you the Opportunity Details, which will tell you what the Advertiser is asking you to write about. If you like the Opp, click Take This Opportunity.

5. After you click the Take This Opportunity button, you have 6 hours to complete your post using the provided information. Once you have written your post and it is live in your blog, enter the URL for your post in the field provided. Make sure all criteria has been met and click Submit Post.

6. Your post is now up for review. Review typically takes 3-5 days. If it is rejected, you will be provided with the reason behind the rejection and how to fix it.

And that's what "taking an Opportunity" looks like. Questions? Feel free to let us know. And stay-tuned for a similar walk-through from an Advertiser's point-of-view...and "setting-up an Opportunity" for Bloggers.
