Making you money

Content marketing is all about getting the right content out to the right audience. There are also many sites out there that will pay you to write content for them. You could go with the traditional ways of freelancing and hawking your portfolio around, but there are also new methods that Web 2.0 has enabled.

There are now sites that find clients who are willing to pay for content and then you can join up with them and find a list of content buyers that want you to post about their products on your site. This is a great way of harnessing the power of Web 2.0, essentially crowd sourcing the content creators and the content buyers into one social network.

The paid posts section of greymacpherson.net will be all about finding and then posting articles on and for these kind of services.

They will be filed under the Services>Paid Posts category as this is not about underhand marketing, where a quick product mention is placed in the content for cash and then no mention is made of that. All of the posts in the paid posts section are for money (except this one!).  SocialSpark requires that you disclose that the post is a paid for post, at the top of your posts, which is an ethical viewpoint to take.

Non-disclosure of payment would be like a financial journalist ramping up a company that they hold shares in, unethical and not a great way to gain and hold trust, although lucrative.

All the posts in this section are paid for, but will be honest reviews and commentary on the actual products and sites that pay for the content. If you like it, click it!
