PayPerPost Launches Viral Affiliate Program

PayPerPost today announced the launch of its first viral affiliate program. What makes this program different, according to the company, is that it compensates referred and referring bloggers. This launch comes with PayPerPost’s effort to drive marketing, link love and feedback for affiliates. Part of the launch consists of the “Review My Post” program, which is open to any blogger aside from those who are members of PayPerPost. With Review My Post, bloggers are paid through a “Get Paid to Review My Post” option in the affiliate blog template.

Non- bloggers are paid $7.50 when they sign up for a post that interests them, whether it’s sponsored or not. By clicking on the Review My Post button and blogging about a post, not only do bloggers get paid $7.50, but the affiliate also receives $7.50 for signing up a new PayPerPost member, according to PayPerPost.

Ted Murphy, CEO of PayPerPost, described the program as “…Our way of saying thanks to the blogging masses for all of the support we’ve received by Posties and non-Posties alike ­ and that support continues to grow. Every blog in the world, even those who’ve been unsure or critical of sponsored content, can benefit from a ‘Review My Post’ button on the bottom of their posts. Audiences find posts every day to blog about, but now that feedback offers some concrete payback. Like sponsored blogging, this program provides another opportunity for bloggers to do something they already do ­ blog about each other ­ and get compensated for their efforts.”

The original PayPerPost affiliate program will still be active while this new launch becomes available for all.

Still, Murphy weighs the consequences of the new endeavor, adding, “Although excited for the bloggers signing up for this program, I’m already a little nervous about what we’ve unleashed. If the viral growth continues to multiply as it has, it could be the Achilles heel. PayPerPost detractors have been looking for to put us out of business. Bloggers see this as a no-brainer for marketing every post they write and are adopting the program much faster than we anticipated.”

• Right now, at the beginning of 2012, what are you watching the most closely for its ad and marketing opportunities?

  • Mobile. Smart devices have become standard, and advertising is only going to become more creative there.
  • Online video. It's a real competitor to TV now, and it presents really interesting ways to engage viewers.
  • Social media. The new Facebook timeline and the surge of Google+ have cracked the game wide open again.
