I made my first 20 Bucks with PayPerPost!

This info comes a bit late, but anyway, I´m happy to tell you that my first sponsored post from PayPerPost got approved. I made $20 (as every new member will get for the first post) and I´m really happy with it.

But it wasn´t that easy to get my approval. Actually the post got rejected before. I got a mail saying that the PPP team had to reject my submitted post because I´ve already written another sponsored one just before. The preceding article was about Pay-Per-Play and it wasn´t a sponsored one.

So I wrote a kindly mail to the PPP support and got a response within hours. They apologized for accidentaly rejecting my post and approved it later. I just want to mention that here, because the support is really great, friendly people and fast responses!

Sponsored Posts - Let´s Get Started!

As you may have already heared about, it is possible to earn some nice extra cash from sponsored posts or reviews. You simply write about a companies product or website and get paid for that article anywhere from $5 to $500 (if you have a really great and popular blog ;) I´ve already written about 3 nice programs that pay you for writing sponsored posts and reviews. Feel free to get some more info there.

So today I´ve joined 3 programs, PayPerPost, ReviewMe and Blogitive. Actually my blog is now over three month old and I´m therefore able to submit it for approval on those sites (those three month are minimum requirements), so I thought “why not?” and submitted it. At the moment I´m waiting for approval and I hope that my blog won´t be rejected.

I´m also hoping to see my earnings increasing, I´ve only two and a half month left to reach my goal in earning $100. It would be nice if get some tasks within the next weeks! If I get approved on PayPerPost I´ll immediately get my first task worth $20, that´s quaranteed!

But I will also warn you! If you like to join the above mentioned programs to earn some money from sponsored blogging, feel free to do so, but keep in mind that Google doesn´t like blogs with sponsored posts. I´ve heared from different bloggers that got penalized with a reduced PageRank. So please don´t say I haven´t warned you! :)

I´ll keep you informed, maybe you´ll see my first sponsored post soon?! (sorry, the second one, I´ve already done one for Blogsvertise)

Have a nice day,

Blogsvertise - Get Paid for Reviews

Today I joined Blogsvertise, a really nice website that lets you earn revenues for completing tasks. Those task are actually really simple, all you have to do is to mention a product or service from an advertiser in one of your blog posts and you get paid.

I´ll describe it in more detail:

The first thing you have to do is to create a free account on Blogsvertise and submit your blog for approval. Your blog will be reviewed by the webmaster. If it gets approved you get the chance on making money (but notice, your blog must have some content on it to get approved). You´ll get tasks send to you via email, they show you a link to a product or service website. All you have to do is to integrate the link given to you 3 times in one of your blog post and mention the product/service (notice, you don´t have to endorse any service/product or review it). Your post should be around 60-100 words and you´ll get around $5- $15 per entry. After completing the task you have to submit your post for a next approval. If all works OK, you´ll get paid 30 days after completing the task right into your Paypal account.

So I submitted my blog today, let´s see if it gets approved. For young blogs like my own one, there´s even the possibilities to go into the Probation status, meaning you´ll get reduced payout rates (around $2.00). You can resubmit your blog later on to gain a “full” membership.

Blogsvertise definitely looks like a very interesting money making opportunity, I hope I can earn some Dollars from them.

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

For all of you, who actually have a (somewhat more) popular Blog than I have, here are 3 nice programs that will pay you for writing Sponsored Posts:

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!
