Lots of “Posties” are SAHM, but if you would read some of the blogs–especially the ones of the people who have been doing this the longest–they are all 9-5?rs. Many are from across the world. As for the negative posts not happening–they most certainly are. One postie completely BASHED a site she was writing about–she got a great big thank you from the company for letting them know where they could improve-it happens daily!

I don’t find commercials very interesting or entertaining usually, but if they are, I will watch them online. They seldom contribute to me buying something I don’t want or need. i hope and pray that viewers are savvier than we think.

I would be interested to hear you clarify that point. Yes, I am a SAHM but if you are implying that means I have nothing of value to share with the world you are sorely misguided. If you would like to review this "Postie's" resume you would find it includes four college degrees including a Doctorate of Audiology. Anxiously waiting to hear how this fits into your "demo" set??

Basically the CEO demo of PPP was interesting at best... comments: 1. his silly animation effects on the ppt limited his time to talk (maybe that was on purpose!) 2. the online chat was great during his presentation - people were bashing him, I was asking questions about what he was saying. 3. he never really explained how negative reviews will make sure you get no further work. Sure he will tell you on the side that negative is ok, but in all honestly no large company will pick your blog if you outright bash every product they send you. 4. anyone else notice that a large percentage of the "posties" are stay at home moms? nothing wrong with this at all, but everyone i have come in contact who is a postie is in this demo set.

The website features videos of the Pay Per Post startup in action as well as video profiles for all of the “rockstars” (Pay Per Post employees). There is also one for chief Rockstar Ted Murphy who gives a Strange Brew shoutout in his video bio. Pay Per Post even has a monster truck called The Blue Monster. That’s the Blue Monster pictured above. The Internet is great. Even if you are not a rockstar startup you can just launch a website with videos and pretend you are one. In one of the video clips the Pay Per Post (PPP) team hires promo girls to help them acquire PPP signups at bars near Florida State University. The next day they also tailgate an FSU football game with the same promo girls to hand out free stuff and money to people that sign up for Pay Per Post. It’s very cheesy stuff but sometimes cheese works. In this particular case it ended up being too expensive and PPP spent more money than they wanted to and came up short on subscribers. Valleywag calls the RockStartup site a startup’s awful reality and Jason Calacanis says “these videos are going to go down in history as the tipping point in the Web 2.0 bubble.” On the other hand, Between the Lines says “the blogosphere is going to have to get used to these guys.” A detailed article from ClickZ about companies like Pay Per Post, Creamaid and ReviewMe that pay bloggers to write reviews says HP is one of the companies planning to pay Posties (bloggers that use PPP) to write reviews about digital cameras.
