"Pay You to Blog" Cancelled

There comes a time in life when you simply have to admit, that something is wrong.

It took me precisely 93 days to realize that.

That's why I am cancelling the Pay You to Blog promotion. 

However, I'm a firm believer that in every failure, there is a lesson to be learned.



Here are some insights that I've gleaned:

• Using your blog as a jobs board will not work, except if you're really famous 
• To hire the creme dela creme, you must pay them 10x beyond industry standard
• The most competent freelance writers have specializations - that's why the really good ones are hard to find.
• Always hire a freelance writer based on his background.   
• People on the web are not too often keen on using their own names. (Duh! Facebook!)
• I believe that the premise is still sound - maybe if this blog has more traffic.
• People don't like reading very long requirements - count me as an exception.

It's been a wild ride and I would like to thank all those who have applied in the past and wish you all the best in your endeavors.
