Ted said, "I want to meet as many Posties as possible on my way to PostieCon - make it happen." So the marketing team got together and decided to create an Opportunity for Posties to cover each tour stop. Wow! What a concept. If that idea was a snake it would have bit us.

As a result, PayPerPost is offering to pay Posties $45 for covering the event stops in each city. Additionally, Posties at each stop will have the chance to win an iRobot. The iRobot goes to the Postie that brings the most canned food items to that event stop. All donations will then be delivered to a local food bank or shelter. It's nice to work a good deed into the plan... Ted's idea.

As part of the deal, PayPerPost will accept up to 10 Posties for each of the 9 tour stop cities, 90 slots total. That's more than $4000 in payouts. Nothing like this has ever been done before. Well, okay, it has. We just did something similar for CollegeFEST. But, it worked so well we decided to do it again. Turns out, this is the perfect way for PayPerPost to demonstrate the value of its network and the Posties that power it.

At each event you'll get the chance to speak with Ted, get an exclusive introduction to Argus, and help out a worthy cause with your canned food donation. And, as usual, Ted will have some other tricks up his sleeve... all good blog post material. It will be a blast and you'll get paid!

All active Posties qualify for this Opportunity. If you live near these cities, apply for the $45 BAT Opportunity by email at blogtour [at] payperpost dot com. Please include the following:

1. Event City (see below)
2. Your full name
3. Daytime phone and
4. PayPerPost user name.

NOTE: Deadline for submission is Oct. 19. All selected Posties will be notified on Oct. 22 and given specific details on exact event location and times. Selections are on a first come, first served basis. So don't wait! Once a city reaches 10 Posties, it's closed.

The $45 BAT Opp includes the following cities:

1. Orlando, FL - Nov. 1
2. Tampa, FL - Nov. 1
3. Atlanta, GA - Nov. 2

6. Little Rock, AR - Nov. 4
7. Dallas, TX - Nov. 5

9. Phoenix, AZ - Nov. 6

The Tour will end in Las Vegas on Nov. 7, but we have other plans for that destination... if you haven't already heard, it's called PostieCon on Nov. 10. It's shaping up to be an awesome event, including a special VIP Blogger's Choice Award party at Tao nightclub. If you haven't registered yet, get on it. Time is running out.

So that's, that. What are you waiting for? You need to jump all over this fun and exciting opportunity! See you on the road.

Now that you know where we’re planning to stop, we need you to give us some local knowledge. Comment on this post with your suggestions about where to go and what to do in each city. We’d love to meet up with as many Posties as possible. But we need to know you’re out there.

We’re still putting our plan together, so it’s a great time to influence what we will do in your town. As soon as we nail down a final tour schedule we’ll be sure to let everyone know.

We’d also like to let Posties hitch-a-ride to PostieCon, but we’re still trying to figure out the details… legal and insurance wise. However, if you’d like to jump on we want to hear from you. Send your request to britt [at] payperpost dot com. Include your name, location and a phone number. No guarantees.

See you on the road!
