Earn Money With Sponsored Posts
If you already have a Blog, you can make a really nice income from it. So today I will talk about making some money from writing Reviews and Sponsored Posts. I will present you 3 sites that will help you find opportunities. But first let me tell you what my personal goals regarding paid posts are.
My Future Goals
I know that clicking paid ads or reading paid mails isn´t a task one can fulfill on an everyday basis for the long term, it´s getting boring and it isn´t worth the effort if you want to earn some real money. But I won´t say it´s actually bad, you get a nice start in the money making branch and you can invest some money you´ve earned in promoting your blog for example. It won´t be much, but it gives you a feel of having something accomplished.
My personal goal with Paid-to-Click programs and that kind, is actually promoting my blog with some kind of advertising. I will needs this, because I want my Blog to become (hopefully a bit) more popular. So I´ll try my best to earn enough to make that happen.
You may ask what this all has to do with Sponsored Post? The simple answer is, that you won´t be able to get paid for Reviews or Sponsored Posts if you have a Blog that´s unpopular. I will tell you about the minimum requirements in a moment.
So you see that everything needs a lot of time to evolve (my Blog is so young, I´ll have to wait some time to start sponsored blogging). But I must admit, I like it anyway. It keeps me working hard on achieving my goals.
Sponsored Blogging
1. Blogitive
Blogitive pays you a standard of $5 per post you publish on your Blog (this may vary depending on sponsors). Other programs may pay you much more, but with Blogitive you have no limit in the number of Sponsored Posts and Reviews. So you can make some bucks if you keep on writing. Your Blog must be at least 3 month old and indexed in Google and Yahoo. You should have an average of 3 posts per week. A nice thing about Blogitive is the weekly(!) payment via Paypal, very nice for fast money.
2. PayPerPost
PayPerPost is more widely know than all the other programs. And as I´ve observed, they pay you more than just $5 per post, it all depends on the opportunities you´ll accept. And this is the point, you can accept an opportunity that you like and that fits on your Blog´s theme. After accepting it, you have 6 hours to complete your Sponsored Post. Some people make more than $500 per month, so if you like writing, simply check this out. The requirements for being accepted as a Blogger are nearly the same as with Blogitive. Your Blog must be 3 month old, you should have 20 pre-existing posts to this date and an archive page (which most Blogs have). You are allowed to post a maximum of 3 posts per day (which must be labeled with “sponsored” or something like this) and you must have one regular post before and after the sponsored one. PayPerPost pays after 30 days directly to your Paypal account.
3. ReviewMe
ReviewMe is another great site that let you start making money from blogging. There you´ll get offers for reviewing different sites. You can make between $20 and $200 per single post you publish on your Blog. The requirements for being accepted there should be the same, they only say you´ll need a minimum amount of traffic, citations and subscribers to your news-feed. The posting frequency (the number of paid posts you´re allowed to add to your Blog) will be calculated from your blogger rating, including Technorati and Alexa rankings. You get paid on a monthly basis via Paypal.
I hope this article will be helpful for you, especially if you already have your own Blog. Feel free to post some comments, because I need some insight from bloggers that have already published Sponsored Posts and got paid from one of the programs.
I wish you a nice weekend!

Thanks! It´s good to know that there are like-minded people like you. I have a nice link for you. It´s a free ebook from Yaro Starak, who helps bloggers to make their income online. He´s a good friend of Darren Rowse (the guy from Problogger.net). Here is the link:
