Blogging For Money

Yet another paid blogging network. Anticipating it with eagerness.

Bloggerwave is a new paid blogging service allowing bloggers to earn from posting about the advertisers that are subscribed to their network. All one has to do is to register for a Bloggerwave account, pick an opportunity, write about that opportunity, and get expected to be paid within a month. Here is the chart which illustrates these simple steps.

I kinda like the way the service is presented, but unfortunately at the moment there are only two advertisers with them. I think they would need to build up interest for advertisers to choose their service first before bloggers can register and take opportunities from them. In any case, Bloggerwave is a good addition to the industry. I think they have a potential to be successful if they work on their strengths and correct their weaknesses.

ReviewMe has introduced a new Advertiser’s Marketplace where the style is similar to the open marketplace of Blogsvertise and SponsoredReviews. I got that announcement via their e-mail a few hours ago:

Mohd Elfie Nieshaem, we are excited to announce our new Advertiser Marketplace at ReviewMe.com! In addition to our marketplace of premium blogs where advertisers can purchase individual reviews, advertisers will now be able to create campaign offers that you will have the option to accept. This new marketplace gives your blog a new way to make more money.

Your blog is approved for this new marketplace and we invite you to login and review all relevant offers that you can blog about now!

Thanks,

ReviewMe Support

True enough, I went to ReviewMe and for the first time, I see job offers pending for me. I grabbed those job offers ranging between $10 and $13, it was very quick and painless to do. There were other job offers at $5 but I decided not to take them up. Looks like I have more jobs to do and there is more pay for me now

CreamAid usually sucks. And I mean really sucks. Its hard to grab the job offers and they run out very fast. That, plus the scarcity of the available offers make you run to other paid blogging programmes that are not only more frequent, but lucrative as well.

However just now I somehow got lucky and I did manage to grab an offer. Here is the screenshot of the confirmation page:

But I suggest that you should not waste your time with CreamAid, unless you really, really have nothing better to do (like me!). Focus on the other paid blogging services.

Here is a fairly new paid-to-blog web design company that will pay $10 for a contextual link. Introducing Dewitt Media Contextual, all you have to do is blog your usual stuff while inserting the anchor text that is provided from the advertiser. It works pretty much the same way as V7N Contextual, therefore no disclosure is required.

According to the website:

Dewitt Media is paying all blog publishers $10 dollars per post, all blogs must be pr3+. This is a very beneficial program, if you are interested in making some extra $$$ please sign up below.

Blog Publishers (How its works): Blog Publishers are based upon a bidding system, so therefore every one will get a pretty well fair share of posts, and money. Say blog publisher 32 has done 10 contextual ads, but blog publisher 31 has only done 9 contextual ads, so that means it would be blog publisher 31 turn to go. This way everything stays in rotation with the blog publishers. We will never have you put the same contextual ad from the same buyers twice, so therefore this keeps the uniqueness up for the advertisers.

Some of my posts was rejected by Blogitive and that rarely happens. Turns out the reason why this had happened was because I did not put the disclosure message.

You recently submitted the blog posting for approval. Unfortunately this blog posting does not meet our criteria for approval. PLEASE INCLUDE THE FULL SPECIAL DISCLOSURE STATEMENT LISTED IN THE POST INSTRUCTIONS. This blog posting has been placed back in your reserve offers, please correct this posting and submit it again for approval.

So I checked the offers page again and true enough, there was this disclosure message that was required in every blog post from Blogitive.

This blog post was based on information provided by Blogitive. For more information, please visit Blogitive.com.

So has Blogitive gone to full disclosure now?

Well I got a pleasant surprise in my inbox just now. Smorty just sent me payment for the job offer that I did for them. Looks like I am a few USD richer now.

Dear Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi,

Smorty Blog Advertising just sent you money with PayPal.

Payment Details

Subject: Your money has been sent by Smorty to your nominated paypal account.
Custom Note: Smorty

I’ve checked their page just now however, and there are still no advertisers for me. I think that it will take some time before I rely on Smorty as a main source of income for paid blogging.
