Wordpress move foiled
Today was supposed to be the day I moved to wordpress but the template screw up and the host seems to have problem. I am looking for a better template and host.
PayPerPost trouble
Michael Arrington wrote another post on Payperpost. PayPerPost Abuses Declining Job Candidate. This is one of the several negative feedback on Payperpost by Miheal Arrington. The most recent one was about how CEO Ted Murphy took all employees on an all-expenses-paid offside to Club Med, where they got drunk, inexplicably dressed up as Native Americans and then posted video of the whole racially offensive episode on the web.
This time techcrunch received an email string between Payperpost and an engineer, Lawrence Salberg, the employee candidate.
"Lawrence Salberg, who was steered towards the company by a headhunter. After an underwhelming interview the candidate did some research and wrote back to the headhunter that he was not interested in the job, and in fact that he was so upset that he wasted his time that he didn’t want to hear about any of the headhunter’s other opportunities, either. “Remove me from your candidacy system immediately,” Salberg said in a long email outlining the reasons he would not work at the company.
That should have been the end of it. But the headhunter forwarded Salberg’s email to PayPerPost VP Software Development Peter Wright, who went on the attack. “I’m shocked at some of the statements in your email to Lori” Wright said in an unsolicited email to Salberg."
Payperpost is probably the only paid-to-write service that is blogger oriented. Its blogger choose the post instead of Advertiser choosing blogger as services like reviewme and sponsoredreviews. Many Bloggers who have been making money have Payperpost as the only source income, some reported over a thousand dollars per month. Imagine what is like to have Payperpost folded up, around 70-80% of the so call "money making bloggers" would be out of business.
I myself have Payperpost as the top income source till September, I decided to drop Payperpost and look for other more sustainable income. The reason as Payperpost is overly crowded, many blogger experienced this, the number of opportunities reduced and it will continue to reduce as more blogger sign up for the services. Another disappointment from payperpost is the referral program, I have sign up a number of blogger and a few reader "review my post", but I don't see any of them getting paid? How can I keep on promoting payperpost if its not reflecting the correct statics.

Recommend An Autoresponder
If you own a website that sent out newsletter, a sales page that captures customers detail or a blog that provides email subscriptions, you need a form that captures what ever information that you need and stores it in your databases. You can have it program and ran it off your SMTP mail server of your host or you can purchase an account from a 3rd party service provider. The advantage of using a 3rd party services is when your server is down, your autoresponders are still running. This also reduce the percentage of your email be treated as spam because your using a different domain name as part of email. There several bands of email autoresponder, I tried a few and picked AWeber.
