It’s interesting to put things into numbers; people call these numbers statistics, and I’ve developed a few of my own with my current payperpost experience.I’ve decided to post this, being as how today I submitted by 60th post. For now, that’s the limit of payperposts for one month per blog; doing so took me, roughly, over a month and a-half to accomplish due to finals during the beginning of December, and vacations during the last part of it. But honestly, 60 posts can easily be done in a month’s time; posting, after all, is not rocket science. In my case, the cumulative amount of time that it took to write the sixty posts was, roughly, about 3.4 hours. This is how I calculated this:

1 post (100 words) takes me approximately 3.4 minutes (yes, I’ve timed some of them, not with a timer, mind you, but by casual glances at some nearby clock); some topics flow naturally, and the time it takes me for those is about a minute or less; however, there are times that I really don’t know much about the opportunity available, and I have to either: do research about it, or think hard how to connect it to my daily life. This type of post usually ends up taking eight to ten minutes to complete. Nonetheless, averaging the cumulative amount of time, the average is the aforementioned 3.4 minutes.

So, the simple math follows: 3.4*60*(1/60)= 3.4 hours.

Now, divide the total that I have made, which is $490.29, and divide that by the 3.4 hours.

This shows how much ($144) I am getting paid per hour of payperpost-related blogging! Not bad, right? Yet, the real limitation here is the amount of posts you can do. I, for one, just have this humble blog, so those 3.4 hours is all I have for that month. However, there are other limitations that I have; for instance, my blog’s ranking. Some high-paying (relatively speaking) opportunities require a certain page ranking, which at times, is above my own (currently a three from Google). A second limitation is lack of willpower. Most of the high-paying opportunities require the creation of a video. I have a video camera, but just haven’t had the desire to get engaged in the entire creation-of-a-video project. Probably if I did, the total amount of money for the past sixty posts could’ve increased significantly.

So, how much is the payment PER Post? Though I really don’t want to give any specifics, I want to give out the AVERAGE of the opportunities that I’ve taken. During the past week, I have been keeping track of the average dollar per post, and it has oscillated from the $8.01’s to the $8.17’s (these are the actual lower and upper limits for this week). However, it is important to note that some opportunities out there pay an amount that is actually quite bigger than this number, and some others that pay a lower amount (though not by a lot).

Suppose for a minute that I had one more blog, with the same page ranking, and with the same amount of posts as this one. Let’s assume that the payoff for that other blog would’ve been the same for the sake of simplicity. That means that with just one more additional blog, I could’ve made about the same money blogging as a full-time employee working for minimum wage at Florida would in a month! Here, again, are the corresponding mathematics of the fact:

Minimum wage for Florida is: $6.67 (effective January 1st 2007). Multiply that number by 160 hours (40 hours for every week of the month), and you get: 1067.2 dollars.

Now, for blogging you would get about $980.58 for a total of 120 posts in two, different, equally-ranked blogs. Granted, is less, but by not that much, and definitely worthwhile, if you consider that the earned money took about 6.8 hours of blogging! That is less than ONE working-day’s worth of hours!

That means that you get about 92% of the earnings of a full-time, minimum wage employee for a mere 4% of the effort. The corresponding math is:

980.58 dollars for the two posts, divided by the 1067.2 dollars for the 160 hours of minimum-wage work.

6.8 hours of blogging, divided by the 160 total hours of working four full-time weeks.

Conclusion & Stats:

Despite the fact that one must have a blog 90 days old, in order to submit it for payperpost approval, blogging can certainly become an alternative way of earning a humble income, once that initial requirement is met. Here are the stats for my, 3-out-of-10 ranked blog, for a total of sixty posts:

1. An average of $8.09 per post
2. Highest average for this week: $8.17
3. Lowest average for this week: $8.01
4. An average of 3.4 minutes per post (100 words or less)
5. Shortest amount of time per post: About 1 min
6. Longest time per post: Approx. 10 minutes
7. A total of 60 posts in six weeks
8. Max of two posts per day
9. 2 posts per week for: the week of finals, and the week for vacations.
10. A cumulative 3.4 hours of payperpost-related blogging, in the past six weeks
11. A payoff of $144 per hour of payperpost-related blogging
12. A total of $490.29 for my first, sixty posts.
13. Implying that 3.8 hours of payperpost-related blogging equates to 79 hours of minimum wage labor (for Florida).

Like the idea of making money for something so simple? I do. Join payperpost, and get paid to blog.
