Blogging or writing for $$$?

United States
July 6, 2007 3:25am CST
Do you blog for money? I've read a lot lately about it and I'm thinking about it myself. I was wondering if anyone could reccomend sites that pay for blogging, that you actually profit from nicely? My blogs are new so I don't have high traffic. Maybe there's a site u use that I might be good for? My work at home/household tips/shopping blog: http://thedomsticdiva.blogspot.com (The Domestic Diva Does It All) My eco-friendly, green living, organic eating, natural cures/health blog: http://au-naturale.blogspot.com (The Domestic Diva: Au Naturale) I've also got a myspace blog: http://blog.myspace.com/sweetsexycurvysugar. (this one's a lot older than the other 2) And what about writing? Freelance maybe or articles? I love to write, have been told I'm good (unless it's past 3am like now when I can barely remember my own name) and I'm interested in maybe some freelace writing or something simliar. Anyone who does this and gets paid good? Sites I might need to visit? I appreciate all the help!

I think you may be interested in taking part in a blogging competition which my blog is running. Basically, all you have to do is start a new blog on a subject of your choice from scratch and try to earn money from it. The first to earn $50 will win an additional $20. Even if you don't win it is still a bit of fun and you can still earn money from your blog. If you take part then I will help you with your blog by giving you tips and advice. I will also help promote your blog for you. I currently only have three spaces left if you wish to take part so please contact me as soon as possible via email. More details of the competition and my email address can be found from the link below. I really hope this is something which interests you. http://tummob.com/the-ultimate-challenge/

Sounds pretty interesting, I highly doubt I'll make the $50 mark anytime soon but sounds like it would be neat to try. I'll check that out, thanks for the invite.

If your blogs are less than 3 months old, you will most likely be rejected by the paid posting sites like PayPerPost. That's like the minimum requirement. Out of all the paid posting sites, PayPerPost has the most offers for new-ish blogs. There are many other sites such as: Blogsvertise, PayU2Blog, BloggingAds etc. See the list I've compiled here: http://www.someuseless.info/articles/10-get-paid-to-blog-sites-roundup/ Doesn't mean you just sit around for 3 months. You can build up your content in the meantime. You can also write articles for Associated Content and Constant Content, and other sites which don't require you to have a blog. You can find all this info on my site. But if you want to be totally serious about blogging for money, you should consider taking up this blogging course. I'm in the program myself and I find that is is perfect for beginners. It literally holds you by the hand to guide you through the process of building a profitable blog. http://www.blogmastermind.com/?home=59 Just a tip from one of lessons: Get your own domain name and host your own blog instead of using blogger or mySpace. Your blog is your asset and you should have full ownership and control over it.

That sounds like a pretty good idea, the course. I'll take a look. I'm already a member at AC however they turned down my 1 and only article. I have a list of topics to write on, just have been short on time this week. I want to get my own domain but it will be about a month before I do, I really can't afford to get one right now. Thanks for all the info!

I've recently gotten paid from http://payperpost.com http://smorty.com and http://blogsvertise.com I used to like PayPerPost the most but recently it's getting harder to get decent opportunities. Now that I know of Smorty and they pay weekly I like them the most :D In regards to your blogs you might not get added because they're on blogspot and myspace. From what I can remember they're not allowed but you could always check the terms and conditions :)

Thank you for visiting my blog in advance. There is just some investment tips on unit trusts. Of course you can make more money with shares but I feel they are more risky. With unittrusts, if you let time be your ally, you will make a profit sooner or later. Here is my link again: www.investingfordummies.blogspot.com
