It may seem premature of me to review BloggingAds when I’ve only signed up today, but you see, I’ve used the company before.
This was about 18 months ago, when paid to blog companies were just getting going so it never really got very far. I went to a web page, signed up and got [...] [...more]
It’s been several months since I wrote about ReviewMe. At the time, it was quite a new site and I based my review on what I knew to that point. Like other paid to blog sites, you submit your blog (a maximum of six blogs are allowed for the ReviewMe marketplace). You may also [...] [...more]
I signed up for Loudlaunch having had a recommendation from a friend. It took several weeks for my first blog to be approved, and some time more to get others added. Loudlaunch reviews every blog before acceptance. While I was waiting for that, I happily earned some pocket change with programs such as Blogsvertise and [...] [...more]
Chris Garett has a great post on The Secret to Freelance Blogging. (Thanks to jenohaven for the tip.)
He talks about the benefits to bloggers and the types of rates you can expect, as well as giving other useful tips.
For the blogger the benefits come down to increased exposure and pay. Payment can be per-post, word [...] [...more]
No review of paid blogging sites would be complete without a look at PayPerPost. I’ll admit to having a love hate relationship with the site at first. That’s probably because their site took aeons to load and when I got there, I didn’t find many qualified opportunities. It was an exercise in frustration for a [...] [...more]
Blogsvertise is one of my favourite paid to blog programs. Although it started small, and there were very few opportunities, it has provided a steady, if tiny, income stream for the past year or so. One of the reasons why I like Blogsvertise is because their system makes it very easy.
First, you get an email [...] [...more]
Blogitive was the first paid to blog program I used, so it’s a good place to kick off my series of reviews. I signed up with Blogitive about 15 months ago and the honeymoon period was great. In the early stages, Blogitive would provide a link and you could write about anything you liked as [...] [...more]
If the seeming demise of WritingUp has left you down, then weep no more! From out of the ashes has arisen a site that will be better, stronger and much more reliable. It’s called Communati and its mission is to take the best from WritingUp and leave the worst.
Here’s what founder Mark Whitbeck has to [...] [...more]
I’m always on the lookout for new ways that you can get paid to blog and I’ve now found another one. It’s called Bloggerwave and it works similarly to other paid to blog sites. You sign up, you get your blogs approved (lightning quick when I did it) and then you take up one of [...] [...more]
A year ago I started a newsletter (called Writing Lab News) to bring some traffic to my site. At least, that was the idea. When I started I had a handful of subscribers and I knew most of those personally.
A year later, I have dozens of subscribers, so much so that I am changing to [...] [...more]
