Earning from the i.PH Blogger Program

(This is reposted from news.i.ph - September 13, 2005)

i.PH has recently come up with a blogger program, in which we invite a handful of bloggers to blog about i.PH in exchange for a nominal compensation.

We basically operate on a full-disclosure arrangement because, well, we feel that it’s the honorable thing to do.  Hence we are posting updates here, both to inform bloggers, i.PH and non-i.PH alike, who may wish to join.

The initial run is for four weeks (one month).  So far, we have two active bloggers who have agreed to participate:

If you are interested, please send an email to jangelo@domains.ph so we can evaluate your blog.  We are currently only accommodating active and regular bloggers who have a reasonably good following (i.e., blogging for at least six months, with at least two blog posts per week on average).  But if you think it’s worth a try, then we’re just an email away.

Here are the mechanics:

  • Blog posting.  Participants are to post 2 quality articles about i.PH per week.  Length should be at least 2 paragraphs each.  These may be in form of a review or any commentary about the service.  This is to be done in the participant’s main blog (whether hosted by i.PH or other services).  The blog post should likewise clearly identify and have a link to the i.PH homepage.
  • i.PH Logo - Participants are to display the i.PH logo (with an active link to the i.PH homepage) prominently on their sites (i.e. on the sidebar). We shall provide participants with a choice of logos you may include in their blogs.
  • Comment posting.  Participants are to post at least 20 comments each week on other blogs (may or may not be friends or contacts) referring them to the articles posted on their own blogs, and to i.PH as a service as well.  So as not to be tagged as spam, these should be relevant and specific to the blog posts being responded to.  An example scenario would be a participant responding to a post with photos, and commenting that i.PH has a built-in photo gallery and photo blog, and that the participant has written about it in his/her own site.
  • Full disclosure.  Participants are to disclose that they are part of the program; i.PH shall likewise name, and link to, participants and their blogs.  This can be viewed as a mutual publicity/traffic-generation between the i.PH site and the participants’.

The i.PH team will be sending the participants information packets and links to relevant sites, for reference.  The participants shall likewise touch base with the i.PH team on a regular basis to provide links to new blog posts and comments.

Why are we doing this?  It’s because we feel it’s high time people learned more about the i.PH service, spread the word to their friends, and earn some money while they’re at it. :)
