Breaking news in the i.PH blogging world

What people are saying about i.PH

September 13, 2005

Part of the i.PH blogger program, which we wrote about in a previous article, bloggers, both i.PH and non-i.PH alike, were invited to write about the service on their respective blogs.

For more information on the program, and links to the bloggers’ entries, please visit the i.PH Blogger Program Weblog at http://bloggerprogram.i.ph.

Earning from the i.PH Blogger Program

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. :)
