Agree that the price per post certaily influences the amount of ‘protocol’ that can be followed. However, this places emphasis on human intervention for the screening activities and will reduce margins, or increase prices as well.

Personally, I think that smaller fees might balance between the willingness to write about a subject and the willingness to make some pocketmoney better.

It will narrow the scope of the type of assignments that are suitable, but does allow you to optimize processes for this type of assigment. New product launches seem like very concrete case that may work. Bloggers are rewarded partly already by receiving a free product, or a product that is not yet widely available.

Best,
