Make Money Blogging
There are many sites out there where you can make money blogging. Here are the most popular of these sites that pay you to blog.
PayPerPost
This is the first site that introduced the get paid to blog method.
It has many members, bloggers and advertisers and there are always available opportunities. It has many rules and your posts are approved manually by a moderator.
Also you must have many non paid posts on you blog in order to accept you.
But if you have a blog with high Page Rank like PR6 for example you could earn up to $500 per post! You get paid every month.
Social Park
This is a new project by Izea, who also owns Pay Per Post.
I have added 3 blogs there but none of them has been approved yet.
Anyway, it works the same as PPP and there are always available opportunities.
Sponsored Reviews
This is my favorite paid to blog site. It’s not hard to get approved and there are always fresh opportunities for you to post. You can even set your own price for every blog post.
You browse the available opportunities and bid on each of them.
If the advertiser accepts your bid, you have one week to post and submit.
You get paid every 2 weeks.
Blogsvertise
It used to be a good site but lately there are no many new opportunities.
You simply add your blog and wait for the advertisers to come to you.
They assign you a task and if you are happy with the money you can take it.
Usually they pay $5 per post and you get paid 30 days after you completed the post.
Review Me
One of the oldest sites. You add your blog(s) at ReviewMe network and wait for the advertisers to contact you. I am a member for 2 years here and never got any post assigned to me.
But you can look at the available offers and every now and then you may find one.
Usually they pay $5. But if you have a blog with high PR or millions of visitors you can earn much more, since you set up the price. Some bloggers make up to $400 for every review.
Blogitive
Blogitive is a small network and in order to get new posts you must be logged in all day and keep refreshing the page! If you find an opportunity you simply grab it and must complete it in 2 days.
Usually all posts are paid $5. The strange thing is that if you have one than more link in your posts it will not get approved! They want only one link per post.
Since they don’t have a notification system for new tasks I don’t use it anymore.
Loudlaunch
Nice website with a good design. Not many advertisers available. Usually blogs are approved fast and your payment depends on your blog’s PR. The higher the better.
It has a notification system that will send you an email every time an opportunity is available but most of the time it doesn’t work! You get paid every month.
LinkWorth
This a good network offering many ways to make money. You can write reviews for money but also sell links and banners on your site. Bloggers can set their own price tags for a post but your earnings are shared 50-50 between you and them.
Smorty
It started small but keeps growing. They have changed the way their system works and now it’s impossible to find new opportunities. Every time I log in, I find nothing.
They also have a post exchange program. You post about a blog and another blog will post about you blog. Like a link exchange.
Buy Blog Reviews
This is a new website and it already has many members. They usually accept all blogs.
Almost every day there is a new opportunity but the payment system sucks.
Most advertisers pay only $3 and there are some posts that even pay $0.50!
They send an email notification for every new opportunity.
Blogging Ads
They have redesigned their site and no longer accept blogspot or other free blogs.
You must have your own domain like: yoursite.com
They say that new opportunities are available in the beginning and the end of the month.
Snap Bomb
Good site but still has many problems.
Paying Post
Haven’t used it yet.
Buy Link Post
Haven’t used it yet.
Blog Distributor
Haven’t’ used them yet.
PayU2Blog
I have signed up many times at this site but never approved.
Blog To Profit
I have signed up with this network but believe it or not, I never managed to log in!
I sent them many emails asking to fix the problem but they told me that there was no problem!
CreamAid
Never managed to understand how this network works!
Review Stream
They pay $2 per review.
Blog Linking
Never used them.
Massive Article Submitter
Here are 3 sites that offer free article submission to hundreds of article directories. They also have paid accounts in case you are not satisfied with the free version.
This site has an online article submitter and an online directory submitter.
The free version allows you to submit to 150 directories.
It has free and paid accounts. You can sign up automatically to hundreds of article directories and post your articles with one click! All you have to do is to confirm your accounts. But you will have to do this only once.

Not very good, but it does the job.
Make Money with Twitter
Do you know that you can make money with Twitter? Here are a few sites that can help you make money on Twitter.
Twittad Post Twitter account for advertisers to sponsor. Select your duration & price.
Also Twittad´s newest feature allows you to search for available Advertiser campaigns based on what interests you. For example, if you are a small business owner on Twitter you can advertise a product that interests you, and get paid to do it.
RevTwt gives you links to post on your Twitter account, and you earn money each time someone clicks on your link.
Twivert pays you to tweet. $5 sign up bonus.
SponsoredTweets is an online marketplace that allows you to connect directly with advertisers to engage in sponsored conversations through Twitter. Advertisers compensate you with cash in exchange for a sponsored tweet. Think of it like eBay for tweets. All you need to get started is to set your price, add a category and some keywords then wait for offers. If you accept an offer, your account will be credited within 24 hours of your tweet.
Magpie will identify campaigns which match your account and occasionally twitter them. Every time a campaign is posted on your account they will reward you with cash.
adCause matches advertisers with twitter users. Publishers will get paid show ads in their twitter feed. You tell adCause what to display & how often to display it. You set the price and how long the ad should be displayed. The more popular, the more influential you are, the more money you will make.
TwitPub is a marketplace for premium tweets where Twitterers can sell access to their updates. TwitPub automates access to your Private Twitter account or even Direct Messages for all your Subscriptions.
Super Chirp allows you to “chirp” via direct message to people who pay to “subscribe” to you. Charge for timely news or premium content. It works with your existing Twitter account. Send a direct message to superchirp and your chirp will go out to your subscribers. You set the monthly price ($0.99 to $9.99) and they handle the recurring billing. You keep 70%.
Make Money Producing Videos
If you like to create videos, here is a website where you can make money with videos. Zadby is an online marketplace where advertisers and agencies connect with online video producers to create innovative brand integration videos tailored for sites like YouTube and MySpace video.
Brand integration is when a company pays to incorporate their product or service directly into entertainment content rather than interrupting the main content with commercials.
Zadby is the way to quickly and efficiently bring brand integration to online video. Advertisers need a way to reconnect with audiences who have moved online. Online video producers need additional revenue to fund their productions.
By registering with Zadby, you can browse numerous current opportunities for paid product placement. You will also be notified of new opportunities as they become available. Once your video is approved, Zadby monitors the views, calculates your payments, and sends you a check every two weeks.
Online video is exploding. Forbes Magazine recently estimated that over 1 billion videos are watched every day on YouTube alone! That number is even more impressive when you consider that the 2008 Superbowl—the 2nd most viewed television event of all time—only received 100M viewers. Tivo may have killed the 30-second spot, but your audience is alive and well and online!
Linkwheel Method
Basically, a linkwheel is a set of SIX Web 2.0 properties interlinked in a “wheel” structure, all promoting a page on the web which is the focus of that particular “wheel”. Let me explain, or well, let this image show you.
Hope it makes sense. Basically, you have six properties up, and each contains a link to the “focus hub” AND its ‘neighbor’ as you can see in the image above, the arrows representing links.
Your “focus hub” could be ANY page you wish to promote. For example a page on your website, or another Web 2.0 property. To expand, you could build a linkwheel like this around a page, and then build a new linkwheel around each of the properties that are in that linkwheel.
For example, in the above image, you would continue building another linkwheel having Weebly and Squidoo etc AS the Focus Hub. Make sense?
You could take this idea and apply it to so many different things I’m not even going to bother with covering more scenarios. Use your imagination!
Use of the Linkwheel strategy can bring some serious Google domination implications. For keywords with lower competition you could easily take over the front page of Google.
RSS Awesomeness
Each of the web 2.0 properties you publish your content to will also give you an RSS feed. If you can’t find it, on the top of your browser by the URL address bar thingy you will see a little RSS icon glowing if the browser can find an RSS feed on that particular page.
Social Bookmarking
Unless you have access to an automated social bookmarking tool, don’t even bother with bookmarking here. If you do, awesome. If you’re on a budget, the best FREE bookmarking tool would have to be Onlywire. There’s also SocialMarker and SocialPoster which are free too. Basically what you do here is to just bookmark all the URLs in the Linkwheel. Simple as that.
Web 2.0 Properties
Alright, so those six above are just a few of the different places you can post your content to. Basically – you want to post your content to ANY site where you can, which does NOT make your outgoing links nofollow. Some of the popular sites, such as Zimbio for example, puts a “nofollow” tag on the links you put there, which pretty much makes the link near useless in terms of ranking benefits. You can check if links are “nofollow” with Aaron Wall’s SEO For Firefox plugin.
Here is a list of some Web 2.0 sites you can and should use.
http://squidoo.com
http://blogger.com
http://wordpress.com
http://quizilla.com
http://livejournal.com
http://weebly.com
http://blog.com
http://jimdo.com
http://tumblr.com
http://blinkweb.com
http://synthasite.com
http://blogsome.com
Again, those are just a handful for you to start off with.
WordPress MU
To get even further ahead of the competition… There are thousands of sites running WordPress MU. MU stands for multi-user… meaning each user can set up their own blog. The most famous WP MU blog site would of course be WordPress.com, and from the list above, Blogsome is also running WordPress MU. But there are literally thousands of smaller ones. Just make sure they’re dofollow. So for each linkwheel, just pick six properties and go!
Blogs
On Blogger.com and all the other free blogs you post to… with each new linkwheel, it’s important to make a NEW blog entirely, as opposed to just making a new post on your existing blogs. You’ll pretty much never have a blog with more than a single post. Often, on sites such as Livejournal and Blogsome for example, you need to create new accounts for each new blog.
Accounts
You’ll eventually have tons of different accounts on all of these different sites, and you might want to organize all the login info somewhere. As for the accounts themselves, stay NICHED within the accounts. For example, within one squidoo account, don’t stray outside of the niche you’re in. Like, you don’t want to have “gardening” lenses grouped together with “make money online” lenses in the same account. It’s all about that relevance, you know. 100% relevance, always.
Well, that’s it! May sound complicated, but it’s simple once you’ve gotten the hang of it. Good luck with this stuff, your imagination really is the only thing that’s stopping you.
