Does the LinkyLoveArmy Charge Bloggers for Anything? Never!
Several times per week I receive a variation of the question below on the phone or via email:
- Do you charge bloggers for this service?
- Do you charge a subscription fee to bloggers to included in the LinkyLoveArmy?
As I received this question again last night, I realized that I was over due to write on the blog about it, although I think this is buried in the forum somewhere.
Many people think that since we are promoting bloggers and sending them lots of incoming links, that we might charge bloggers for that service. Since we launched our referral commission program last month, many people have also asked if we charge something like a subscription fee to join as well.
The answer to both questions is a loud no!
We never charge bloggers. We want to PAY bloggers to blog, not charge bloggers to be in our program or anything like that.
Cash Rich Industry
This is a cash rich industry, where companies are expected to pay in advance for their advertising and where we strive to pay our bloggers within 7 days of completing missions. We don’t even want your interest!
Truth be told, we don’t need bloggers money!
Challenge to Bloggers and to the Blogging Industry
Our biggest challenge is tailoring missions in ways that bloggers will accept them and do a great job writing creatively about them. Too many bloggers these days are writing articles that are starting to look and read in a spammy fashion.
Our goal is to change the industry and swing it back to being creative again. In the spirit of Brewster’s Millions (Richard Pryor movie from the 80’s~He’s from my hometown.) We very happily and politely want to pay bloggers to blog, but blog well. That takes practices and it takes effort and that effort in a capitalist economy should be rewarded with money.
So to wrap things up, we do not charge bloggers anything.
We do not charge a subscription fee of any kind. (No fees at all)
We do want bloggers to blog better.
Creativity, Creativity, Creativity, Bloggers Have Creativity
We work everyday trying to find ways to make the missions more exciting, but the purpose for this is not to entice bloggers to write spam, but instead to find the creative direction to take an article that will make that article stand out on their blog and be a great article. If it doesn’t fit, it doesn’t fit, BUT I’d challenge all bloggers to look at each mission and try and figure out how to get creative with that mission.
Many bloggers are not the best journalists. That is a compliment in many ways as journalism these days is spammier than most of the worst blogs on the internet. IMHO bloggers provide the most benefit when they are being creative. I do believe that 2 brains are better than 1, that 5 perspectives are better than 2, and that an army of bloggers can move continents.
Bloggers have the potential to contextualize information, feelings, events, perceptions, issues, reality, and much more. Putting information through a creative subjective filter is the value that bloggers add to the internet. We do not have to try and emulate journalists and report “What” but we can deep dive all day long into the “Why” the “How” The “What happened when I tried it” and more.
We can speak to everyday people, because we are everyday people. We are close to the action, and we have thousands of examples to talk about, situations to explore, what ifs to write about and more.
If you Have a Perspective on Something, Write on it
So if you have a Perspective on Something, write on it. Find a creative outlet for your perspective. Use that outlet to develop your writing skills, to develop your creative spirit, and while you are at it, We’ll happily pay you and help you move your online blogging business into the black!
Hello
First may I say thanks for being accepted. Secondly, one of the things that really appeals to me about the LinkLove P2P is the direction you are taking and hopefully taking me as well. I am by any means a good writer - I do however hope to improve my writing skills by taking on P2P opportunities from a variety of sources. Each P2P organization has different ideals when it comes to posts and by writing with for different P2P’s you not only get variety in content but also a development of skills.
Another plus for me is that I do not like to have consecutive P2P content so it is forcing me to develop more of my own content to place between the P2P articles. The more I write, the better I will become.
thanks again
