			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I made a reference last week to wanting to get into <a href="http://pxnet.pixelechoes.net/2006/12/07/a-progress-report/">[tag]selling insurance[/tag]</a>.</p>
<p>I had a commenter who asked a question about an [tag]insurance company[/tag] that has relations to the one I was going for.<br />
I replied to the comment, and even sent an email to the person, to make sure they got my comment.</p>
<p><del datetime="2006-12-12T00:23:28+00:00">Today, I get a comment again from &#8220;Alex&#8221;, who basically reposted the link, and showed that they are, in fact, a spammer; One that actually is human, rather than another Tramadol-bot.<br />
Kudos to you for getting by me, but guess what: I just ate your links.</del></p>
<p><del datetime="2006-12-12T00:23:28+00:00">I&#8217;ll be glad to let your links live with some actual weight, for a price. I&#8217;m not employed by your sister company yet, so advertising rates still do apply. There&#8217;s also a penalty rate for being a spammer of $10 per spammed link.<br />
Your total cost is $40.<br />
PayPal button&#8217;s on the About Me page; Yes, I accept credit cards, as long as they&#8217;re not stolen.</del></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8211;<br />
Or not. I forget that humans make mistakes in this digital world. Alex is not a spammer; Alex came back and noticed that the same link was posted twice, and gave me a corrected link to an article that&#8217;s actually a rather interesting look at just <a href="http://www.timesdaily.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061203/ZNYT01/612030364&#038;cachetime=5">how people think of Life Insurance</a>.</p>
<p>Much of that article is the truth, and I know it from personal experience.<br />
My mother had life insurance policies on all of us, because she wanted to make sure we all had good burials when we died. She didn&#8217;t want us buried in a flimsy wood box, but rather, in a decent casket, in a decent graveyard.</p>
<p>Thus, my apologies to Alex; Ye be not a spammer. Just human. <img src='http://pxnet.pixelechoes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that PayPerPost (the guys who&#8217;re giving out really good <a href="http://www.payperpost.com">blog money</a>) is finally offering us a way to track our referrals to the system. </p>
<p>Just for telling you about the system, getting you to sign up, and to make your first post, I get a $15 referral fee, which, I will admit in my low budget state, is sounding mightily delicious. Green makes me think of salad, and with that extra green from the referrals, I can do just that: Have a salad at Sweet Tomatoes. <img src='http://pxnet.pixelechoes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tinyurl.com/y934u9"></script><img src="http://www.counttrackula.com/tracker/images/2918/110.gif" alt="" /></p>
<p>For me, PayPerPost is a very easy to use system. I log in, look at a list of opportunities that I think might interest me, find one that actually tickles my interests, write about it, and thirty days later, I get paid for it.</p>
<p>You might notice that you don&#8217;t see too many posts like that here, either &#8212; they only allow you to do so many per day, and recommend that you only do posts that actually interest you. I&#8217;d never blog about getting a brazilian wax done normally (though <a href="http://www.simplekindoflife.com/">Colleen</a> might, hahaha!), so why should I do it just for the money? <img src='http://pxnet.pixelechoes.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
(of note: I have no interest in having my hairs forcibly removed from betwixt mine legs with hot wax. ow. just ow.)</p>
<p>In summary, PayPerPost:<br />
* Is quite easy to do.<br />
* Can be quite fun, when you choose topics that interest you.<br />
* May help to renew your interest in normal blogging.<br />
* Will put money in your PayPal account when you <em>get paid to blog about the things you love</em>.</p>
