Today is a very exciting day for me, and all because of this:
Today is the day that marks my earnings with PayPerPost reaching $10,000. I’ve been blogging for PayPerPost since July 5th of last year - here’s the very first opp I ever did for them! Since then, I’ve gotten tons of other people involved with it. It’s not all fun and games. I’ve had my share of nasty comments from bloggers not involved with PayPerPost, and I’ve even had fellow posties make snide remarks about my blogs. But you know what? I don’t care!
When I was the first person to hit $1,000 on PayPerPost, I decided right then and there that I’d be the first to hit $10,000. I set a goal for myself to do it by July 5th, 2007, so that I’d have a year, but obviously, I did it before then.
Since I started blogging for PayPerPost, I’ve had my traffic go through the roof, I get more comments, I’ve got more readers, I’ve found new friends, and I think my hair is shinier and more full of life 
Seriously though - I’m in awe that I came from hoping to make $5 a month to cover my hosting, to $10,000 in 9 months. I’ve used the money to help out around the house, to pay for vacations (skiing in North Carolina and vacation this June in Canada, I bought my husband a motorcycle, new dishes for our house, extras for the kids, and too many other things to mention. I’ve been featured in the L.A. Times and Orlando Sentinel, and made an appearance in a RockStartUp episode. I won $1000 in the RockStartUp puzzle contest, and I won $500 in a concert contest. Where else can you make money like this online?
In other words, it’s the most fun I’ve had blogging, ever. Thanks for being along for the ride with me!

Congratulations Colleen! I can’t wait until I hit $1000!
Wohoo!!! Congrats Colleen!!
Great accomplishment!!
[…] Today Colleen became the first PayPerPost Blogger, or “Postie,” to earn $10,000. She had been the first to earn $1000 several months ago and at that time set a goal for herself. She decided then to earn $10,000 by July 5, 2007, her one year anniversary with PayPerPost. […]
wow. Congrats Colleen. I don’t know how ya do it!! amazing!
[…] If you are a Postie (which Websters defines as a blogger who blogs for Payperpost) then you might have noticed the milestone that happened today. Colleen (famous for her innovative blogs like Simple Kind of Life and Geeky Speaky) crossed the 10,000 dollar mark. How awesome is that? Who doesn’t aspire to do that? I know I do. […]
Wow that is extremely impressive! I’m new to PPP and I hope to have my community and friends, and earnings, grow too.
Congratulations! I knew it would happen today!

Congratulations Colleen! I am just getting caught up and this is wonderful news to come home to. You are an inspiration, which I am sure I have said before, but I really mean it!
Good for you. Colleen! I enjoy checking in on your blogs regularly, and I’m delighted that you’ve broken the barrier.
