Paid Blogging Programs

Nearly anyone with a blog could be earning money from paid to blog programs. These programs unite bloggers with advertisers who are looking to pay someone to write reviews or feature their product. It doesn’t necessarily pay a fortune, but it is extra cash and can cover your hosting fees at the very least!

Paid to blog programs have been around for a while, but there has been a sudden influx lately as more and more people realize what a valuable resource blogs can be. Advertisers want to take advantage of the traffic that is attracted to the fresh content produced daily on blogs and they are more than willing to pay for it.

Programs such as Blogsvertise, PayPerPost, and Blogative tend to have a few rules to keep out newbie blogs and scammers. Your blog needs to be at least 3 months old in most cases and you need to be posting regularly. Even if your blog is a year old you could be rejected for only posting once a week. They are looking for very active blogs, since that is where the traffic is.

While many programs claim to accept any PR level, the majority prefer a ranking of 3 or higher. This can be bad news for small, recent blogs, but there are still programs available to the new blogger, you just have to look. If you have just started your blog in the past few days, you can ensure future admission by posting daily now and submitting your blog to Technorati as well as any other blog directories that you can find. Building your PR is a good way to get better jobs once you reach the 3 month mark.

There are two basic types of paid blogging programs. The first is the most common, review writing. You will find opportunities on the paid site and you can apply for the job, which is usually open to a large number of bloggers. The price may be posted up front or you might need to bid, depending on the program. Then you have to write a review on the product, service or website featured. The blog post usually needs to be between 200-400 words long and doesn’t necessarily have to be positive. Once the company has confirmed that you have posted on their product, you will be paid. Some programs pay after your post has been up for 30 days.

The second type is much less intrusive and is relatively new in the paid blogging arena. This is text links. You write a normal post like you would any other day, but link certain words to the advertiser in exchange for pay. These programs generally pay a little less than reviews, but there are still some very good offers out there.

Paid to blog programs can be a very useful way to earn money online. There are now so many of them that you really have your choice of money making opportunities and can choose the program or programs that work best for your blog.
