Tonight, PayPerPost.com is going to go down briefly for some updates.  We’re incredibly excited about these new additions to the platform, and we hope you will be too.  Here’s the info on what the new negotiation process entails.

  1. Advertiser creates opp (no changes here)
  2. Advertiser generates leads
    This used to be as simple as pressing a button, and poof – the lead generation would go out to all of your matches.  Now with the negotiation change, advertisers will be shown a new screen when they generate leads that asks, what is your preferred price?  This is where the advertiser enters the price that they want to pay for each offer on this specific opportunity.

  3. The lead info goes over to the blogger just like before, only now they will also get to see the advertiser’s requested price.  They can either accept it at the requested price, they can say “no thanks” to decline the offer, or they can negotiate a new price.  Just to clarify:  the “i’m interested” button will alert the advertiser that you are interested in doing the work for the requested price, so that locks you in at the advertisers preferred price that is shown.  If the blogger wants to negotiate that price, they have to use the negotiate button now.

  4. If the blogger wants to negotiate a new price, they will be shown a screen that asks them – what is their preferred price?  They fill that in and click submit and it goes back to the advertiser showing 2 things – 1) that they’re interested and 2) what the price is that they will be willing to accept for writing the post.  Just to reiterate this one point – if you click “i’m interested” you will be working with the advertiser’s requested price, not your regular blog price, and not some price you thought you wanted to negotiate.  If you negotiate and you do get an offer, you will be working with the new price that you negotiated.

    Once the negotiation goes from the advertiser, to the blogger, and back to the advertiser it is finished.  There’s no infinite back and forth for eternity.  You get one chance to settle upon the pricing.
