PPP is still running their Tuesday prizes. I never got my hands on anything in April, nor have I in May so I’m not even going to bother looking for todays opportunity. They’re giving away a Sony 50″ Grand WEGA LCD HDTV and while that seems like a great prize, I don’t have anywhere to put the thing unless I get rid of the boyfriend heh. I’m not lucky enough to get my hands on gifts like these anyway, even if I did happen to find the opportunity – I’d be too slow about it and wouldn’t get it anyway.
I heard that last weeks op was up for an hour before someone took it. I’m having a small issue with PPP at the moment though. I understand it’s very popular but there are opportunities listed that aren’t accepting any more blogs. And while it’s great that the advertiser got his moneys worth – it’s hard for posties to actually find a listing that they’re eligible for. I don’t mind doing the $5 listings, I do mind that there aren’t even any of those available. I seriously think that PPP should consider altering their database so that if all posts are already taken – the opportunity is removed from the public listing. But hey, that’s just the programmer in me talking. It’s not like it would be hard to code, I just don’t understand the point in teasing people with ops that they can’t even do.
I don’t know, I’m sure eventually they’ll do something about it – who knows.
Everyone POUNCES on the $10+ ops and while those are great to get, most of the time it’s based on topics that NO ONE would naturally speak about without getting paid. While I admit to enjoying paid blogging, I also make it a point to only have an opinion about topics of interest to me. Someone asked me recently if I would have had the same opinion on something if I wasn’t being paid about it and I can honestly say that yes I would. Before I was involved in paid blogging, I was writing up product reviews for everything that I personally found interesting/helpful, there’s nothing wrong with getting something out of it, but that doesn’t mean the payment is altering my views on things either.
I’m new to the whole PP thing. I’ve only been doing it like 8 days or so and I’ve made $126. I don’t even know if that’s good or not..? haha.
I thought it was just a coincidence that it seemed like every OPP i clicked on was taken already, until I read this post that is.
How does the prize thing work? I never knew anything about it. I’m such a newb 🙁 haha
