Blogging For Money

Apart from services such as PayPerPost and Blogsvertise, I am also accepted into the Blog To Profit network. Unlike the other paid blogging services, however, you do not have to blog about the advertisers that Blog To Profit gives you the links to. All you have to do is to blog about whatever topic you are familiar with and include the advertiser link using the specified keywords. You are also not required to disclose that the post contained sponsored links since all you are doing is simply post links.

Their payout is $5 per link and for the initial postings they will give you 5 links to start off first. If they are satisfied with the work that you have produced, they will give you offers of up to 10 links. Now that is not bad at all, considering that they give out offers almost every week. I have already earned about $100 to date with them and they have recently started to offer me 10 links per offer. So if you have a blog with a high PR of at least 2, you should check them out.

Just found out that Auntie Lillian of 5xmom.com has made mention of me and this blog. I would be lying if I say that I am where I am today without her inspiring writings, especially the ones about paid blogging and PayPerPost when she first started out. Yes, I first found out about PPP from her blog. I don’t think I would have known about it had I not come across her post mentioning it. It also so happens that this domain, www.ibnjuferi.net was also inspired in part by her Make$ Money$ blog, so again I owe her that much for the inspiration.

Anyway I am taking the opportunity to mention my RM1,000 Review My Blog contest. Here is your opportunity to get one thousand ringgit (yes, I’ll say it again: one thousand ringgit) if you review my blog and your post is selected as the best one among all the reviews. I have not been getting any submissions lately (my fault I guess…I haven’t been exactly promoting it) so I will release the current links that have been submitted to me as Batch 1 today. If there are others who submit later, they will become part of Batch 2.

I am not sure what is going on, but the 1K posts that PayPerPost had promised are not showing up. Either they have a technical issue at their end which they have not resolved which blocked these offers from appearing, or perhaps I was too dense to notice them and people have already grabbed them before I could say, “Ittaqullah!“.

Heh.

I’m starting to do paid blogging for PayPerPost again at full power after a month’s absence (no thanks to that lousy ISP we all love to hate). I lost nearly USD 800 worth of income last month from paid blogging with PPP but I think I can mitigate the loss if I fill up the PayPerPost alloted slots to each of my blogs for the whole month. Theoretically, that would mean that since I have six blogs accepted into PayPerPost, and if I were able to grab USD5 posts for all the slots, that would mean 6 blogs x 3 slots x USD 5 = USD 90 per day, which would amount to 90 x 30 days = USD 2700 a month.

See how much money I am sitting on now?

Theoretically speaking lah. Since I am not a machine and I certainly won’t be able to fill up the slots in the blogs, I would be lucky if I could even get half of that amount.

BegForPost is a “clone” (more like a parody site, I think) of the famous paid blogging network, PayPerPost. It mimics everything from PayPerPost from logo right to layout. The only difference is that advertisers have to beg for bloggers to post about them.

Kind of a wacky twist to it, methinks.
