Offers for Paid Posts??????
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do you get emails to do this? I used to get them about once a week before then they stopped. So far I only accepted ONE of the offers and it was earlier this year I believe. He paid me up front...meaning, he put the money in my PayPal before I started posting. He also wrote the entries so all I had to do was post them. I posted 10 in my blog sparingly...and he didn't pay me a fortune to do it. He paid me a reasonable amount of money considering I would only post and not write anything.
Yesterday I got an email about 'posting' paragraphs here. Actually the email was supposed to be a follow-up. Well, I never had any kind of correspondence with this certain individual so I replied that he sent the email to the wrong person.
Today I got a reply...an offer of a certain amount to post a paragraph [about 4 or 5 lines with the same number of links] on my blog.
Red flags came up so I declined.
-->> First, the offer is too much money for a very short paragraph.
-->>Then, there is NO mention of which blog the paragraph should be posted.
-->> And the email account of the individual is a free webmail...[not always a red flag though]
Now, my reasons for declining may not seem legit to some but I am not going to jeopardize my blog and my name for a few bucks.
Another concern I have is my experience whenever I visit some blogs that post these paragraphs - pop-ups! I am not a computer savvy so I really have no idea what these people who offer so much money to post very short paragraphs can do or how they work those pop-ups in those blogs...but I am not taking any chances.
Let me just make it clear: I have NOTHING AGAINST those blogs who accept these offers. I am just stating here how I FEEL about them and my concerns. That's all. No need to be defensive if you're doing it. I have my reasons for not accepting such offers....and they're stated above.

I have not for once responded to any of them as I'm afraid, iba ang mapasok ko.
I agree with your point of view. it's better safe than sorry.
