I got this piece from Ah Pek.

Buy a blogger. Another money making avenue. Despite the ugly sound of it, it’s perfectly respectable. Nothing illegal. Yeah, I know, it sounds tacky. Cheap. Personally it’ll sound a whole lot more respectable if it’s just called Blogs For Hire. But then, where money making is concerned, nobody gives a hoot.

Bloggers interested in getting hired are asked to register for free. I did. You can put up your picture for potential advertisers to see and needless to say, I did. I’ve no stats to back me up, but common sense tells me if I am a potential advertiser, I would like to see a face. The very least, know whom my money is going to go to. No?

Who says? I say. I’m not the one forking money to pay you people but I’m already just as curious what you folks look like. Now, imagine I am standing from the advertiser viewpoint as the one paying. I sure would like to see a face.

Still not convinced?

Alright, I’ll come clean. I admit I am just saying it because I want to see your face. Make things easy for the hired marksman to identify and take out the competition. However, you can always turn things to your advantage. Just put up the picture of your hated co-worker or ex-lover. Yes, or boss. Then I’ll be doing you a big favour.

Seriously, if you are a potential advertiser, I do think this is a great alternative. You get to deal with the blogger directly and eliminate the middleman. That is good business sense. Everybody is happy.

I love their Terms of Service. Now, I’m no fan of reading those Terms of Service. 50% of the time I’ve no idea what they’re talking about, the other 50% I can’t even make out the fine print. Do I look like someone from the legal profession? Geez. But check out Buy a Blogger’s TOS.

Basically, we are not responsible for anything regarding payment, quality of blog posts, untimely deaths, or anyting else under the sun. We are a middle man that provides a free contact avenue between advertisers and bloggers. The road ends there for us.
