I’ve been doing a little research lately concerning a whole bunch of things which end up being associated with each other and I thought I’d put down a few thoughts about what I’ve noticed.

There exists a company called “Pay Per Post” and what they are is a place where bloggers get connected with people who want to give them money for blogging about something specific. I looked the site over pretty thoroughly - I joined up - the prices paid range from $5 a post to $156 a post, at least there are some bloggers who don’t take on work for less, according to their profiles. I looked at many samples of their work and admittedly the $5 posts are pretty bad but the more expensive ones are really good.

So good that I can see myself being fooled. These people are possibly so good that people are getting rich and affecting … everything. Affecting big things. For great reward. I’ll get into that a bit later but one thing I want to state right off the bat is that I am not being paid to write this post or any other post dated previously to this post. The moment that I start taking money to post I’ll post about it - once and in passing, but I will admit it prior to paid posts which is all anyone can expect.

I’ve been looking at who the end user of some of my domains should be and how much the domains were worth to that end user. I used the example of “newyorklawyers dot com” which is not a site that I currently or previously had anything to do with, just an example. I assumed 1 new client a year resulting from the ownership of that domain. I assumed a $5,000 charge. I assumed 20 years. A total of $100,000. I think that is a conservative estimate.

If I owned newyorklawyers I would sell it for that price and expect that if I got the price it would be from an end user rather than another domainer. I then asked myself what I really thought the return on the site would be. I figured that 1 client a month would be more like it and then over 20 years it would be $1,200,000. I also figured I’d be lucky to get that but if I could get a $1,000 referral fee that would be $12,000 a year and $240,000 over 20 years.

Now my prospective end users are a law firm and a lead distributor. Of course my next thought was how to find the end user who wants to give me $240,000. Probably it would be easier to find the lawyer(s) who would pay me $1000 a client acquisition but that leaves the problem of me having to be confident that I’m being paid for every client I send their way, how to know that the referral became a client. I need a place that does that for me, a place that takes care of keeping track of all that stuff and allows me to concentrate on getting referrals to the proper place to become clients.

While none exists for lawyers that I can see so far I did find a place called “Market Leverage” and these people describe the company as a “internet affiliate marketing network”. They say that they are a

Cost Per Acquisition

network, one of the webs largest. Their advertisers

only pay for verified leads or sales

- I signed up to get some sort of better idea of what they do but the general idea is that there ought to be a company that can charge someone like a lawyer for getting them a client and that takes care of all the tracking and checking that needs to be done.

Maybe I should be the end-user and attempt to establish the sites. I’m still mulling over the sale of “bankaholic.com” for 15 million dollars after 2 years of blogging. At any rate, I can’t think of anything at this point and I was just thinking about some stuff without any real point.
