Paid posts are one of the ways to make money blogging about any topic. Most bloggers can earn an income from their blogs by utilizing one or more paid posting sites that pay bloggers to place posts about specific products, services or sites on their blogs.
Make Money Blogging
Many bloggers take advantage of sites that pay them for specific posts, called sponsored posts. To make money with a blog, it must be accepted by a paid posting site. The requirements for each of these sites vary, but there is generally a minimum blog age to become accepted. This may be as little as one month or as much as one year.
The amount of money paid for a blog post varies wildly. Some sponsored posts may be placed for as little is $2 while others go for $50 or more. Some paid posting sites pay more to sites with a higher page rank. Others let the blogger set the rate.
How to Get Paid to Blog
To get paid to blog, first create a blog that centers on a niche topic. This can be a broad topic like travel or a more focused topic such as cat breeding. The broader the topic, however, the more paid blogging opportunities you may have.
Sign up with several paid posting companies and check them several times a day for new paid posting opportunities. Paid posting companies generally contract with many websites and product manufacturers in order to create a diverse network of Internet marketing for their products or services. This means that new opportunities are often added as new Internet marketing deals are struck with the site.
Some sites, such as PayPerPost, are highly competitive among bloggers getting paid to blog. To make money with a blog through high-volume sites like it, check the site often and grab the high-paying blog posts quickly. Many bloggers who sign up with several sites can earn a few hundreds dollars per week with their blog through paid posting.
Paid Posting Sites
- PayPerPost- One of the biggest paid posting sites, this site offers an enormous number of money-making opportunities for blogs. Blogs with high page ranks can earn significant amounts for their paid posts. The downside is possible page rank penalties for including PayPerPost links on a blog. Google is said to penalize blogs associated with the site.
- Smorty- Limited money-making opportunities because of fewer clients than many of the larger paid posting sites, but Smorty pays quickly compared to many of the larger sites.
- SponsoredReviews- Bloggers set their own rates on this site. To make money blogging through SponsoredReviews, bloggers set their minimum paid blog posting rate and then offer to post for that rate for various clients. Bloggers can also let clients come to them and offer a rate that is within their set price range. The site has a large number of clients and plenty of money-making opportunities for bloggers.
- LoudLaunch- The site has a large number of Internet marketing clients, though not as many as PayPerPost. It often has a waiting list for bloggers and may not respond quickly to applications from bloggers looking for paid blog posts.
- Buzz for Stuff- This site offers products in exchange for sponsored posts about those products.
Plenty of other paid posting sites exist, but many offer very few clients to choose. Some paid blogging sites have few opportunities for blogs with low page rank or for blogs made on free blog sites.
