SnailMailr: Send Snail Mail Online

SnailMailr is a cool web app that basically allows you to send normal postage mail via the internet. It works by you filling out details such as your address, the address you want the letter posted to and writing your letter. You can send a letter with four pages for $1 anywhere in the United States. Each subsequent page costs you and extra $0.15. Also, for an extra $0.15 you can remove their logo which is printed on the envelope as show.

There is no need to register an you pay the balance via PayPal. It costs more to send letters internationally. You can send letters no matter where you’re located. In many cases, it’ll work out cheaper if you’re posting to the US and you live elsewhere!

PayPerPost Version 4: Pay Per Post Article Marketing Is Back

payperpostThis morning we posted an article about the new site from Izea, its called SponsoredTweets and provides Sponsored Twitter messages. It now seems as though Izea are launching a lot of new products and upgrades at the moment, including an upgrade of their Payperpost system. Payperpost is a system in which advertisers can purchased articles on related blogs. Sponsored blog posts has been a very big discussion in this industry for a very long time and I dont think it is great. However, if you are a small blog it could be a very nice source of income for simply just providing a link to a certain product, cause for advertisers it is just about building up incoming links. However, if you are a large site it then becomes an issue because your readers are wanting to hear your opinions and thoughts and not just an article promoting a product you dont even like or use.

Anyways Payperpost are launching a new version of their marketplace. If you are wanting to check out their new service then you can take a look here.
