Your Opinion Counts-Making Money from a Blog

December 22, 2007 – 4:15 pm

Blogs are everywhere. They’re daily personal diaries or informative pieces of discussion involving many participants. An advertiser see’s them in a different manner. They are a publishing platform, which produce content that is viewable by both search engines and potential customers.

If you set up a blog around a specific topic of interest you can generate income from the display of advertising or from connected affiliate programs, or from product sales.

Paid Blogging Networks

Another way of making money from blogs is to use paid blogging networks.

When you work for a paid blogging website, you will earn money by blogging about the advertiser’s products, website or service.  Advertisers will pay the blog networks directly and the blogger will receive a stipulated fee when you agree to take on each specific assignment. Here is where you come in.

What’s in it for the Advertiser?

The name of the game is exposure. But it is exposure to buyers with focus or interest of a specific type that the advertisers are interested in. A blog about Real Estate will be a perfect advertising site for a real estate company. Advertisers want more exposure for their businesses but they prefer that it is geared towards a specific audience so they will purchase sponsored links or written content as a way to generate public discussion and interest thereby increasing their search engine visibility.

How do I Make Money with Sponsored Blogging websites?

Here is a list of Pay Per Post Blogging Websites

PayperPost

www.Payperpost.com  is one of the largest sponsored blogging networks. It offers a large community of bloggers who support each other through a forum.  It is easy to signup. You must have your own blogging site present. But you can create your blogs at www.blogspot.comand then link back.

You can also extend your income potential outside of the basic marketplace structure with the addition of PayperPost Direct. This allows bloggers to sell sponsored posts directly to advertisers visiting their site. With the placement of badges on the web page advertisers can immediately order any specific paid posts without leaving the site itself.

ReviewMe

This blog paying site is similar to Payperpost.  What a merchant can do is hire a blogger to write a review of a product, service, or website. In a typical commercial setting it is easy for large companies to get their products or services reviewed by other Web sites or blogs. But what if you are not well established? What if you are a new market player? How do you get the word out about their products?  The answer is www.ReviewMe.com. Their core of web authors can review products or services on their Web site sending you site traffic, publicity, and feedback.

LinkWorth

This is a pay blog post written by a blogger. But unlike other blogger pay sites, www.LinkWorth.com permits the advertisers to have some control about what’s being written. Advertisers are not interested in paying someone to write a negative review? This may not make the blog completely objective, but on the other hand you are paying someone to write a review that will highlight the best of the product. Presenting the blogger a few requirements puts the merchant in the driver’s seat.

So why would a merchant use www.Linkworth.com? Most of the reasons are standard for new companies. For one, the merchant may be launching a new product or service, and to create interest in and about a new website.  The merchant may also want constructive feedback from a professional blogger. Additionally, the merchant may want to build links to create direct traffic from a targeted audience and to increase the websites rankings in different search engines.
