Making Money With Free Blogs - The Truth - Part 3
| Following on from yesterday today we look at Making Money With Sponsored Posts. As an example of sponsored posts you can see the last two I have written here and here. They are simply short articles, or reviews, on nominated subjects. In doing this you are paid anything from $5 to $100 or even more. Now before you get too excited about the likes of getting $100 for writing short reviews the reality is that you probably won't get this much unless you have a blog with a high PageRank. This blog has a PageRank 5 and I normally get around $15 to $35 for writing a sponsored post with PPP. I noticed today, for instance, that there was an offer that would pay $10.50 for a review by a PR3 blog but $20.50 for a PR5 or above. This is an illustration of why PageRank sometimes matters. With the websites running these sponsored post programs there are certain criteria that you have to meet before you are accepted. Normally blogs must have been running for three months and have at least 20 posts. Needless to say they won't accept adult blogs or anything controversial. My celebrity blog was turned down for example - probably because there is sometimes naughty(ish) stuff about celebs. As I see it, it's quite easy to make some decent money with sponsored blogs if you plan things properly. I would suggest running a few blogs and keep these updated regularly for three months plus and then join PayPerPost or something similar - or why not join several. After this period you should be a able to easily write two, three or more sponsored posts daily -and this will add up to a nice income. When you start off writing sponsored posts you may only be offered say $5 but don't let this put you off. I once said that I wouldn't write a post for this amount, but it will get anyone started earning money and gradually this will increase. If you write say three sponsored posts a day at only $5 each this will still give you over $100 a week. Of course if they are $20 each it would give you $420 per week - and so on. In some ways this is a method of making money with free blogs that can be very successful but just think ... If you combined this with what I talked about yesterday i.e. Making money with affiliate programs and running adverts ... ... then the money you make would be considerably higher still. Will continue on this theme another day. Good luck, Mike.

Hi Mike,
Did a quick search and I don't think you've mentioned WidgetBucks yet, so I thought I'd give you a little more info.
It's getting rave reviews over at DP. Check out my review at A4D for a bit more information. Since it pays generously CPM (up to $6) I thought it would go well on your celeb insider blog.
Maybe we can help each other out if you sign up as my referral.
Looking forward to some feedback!
Thanks
I'm really looking forward to getting accepted for Payperpost. It looks like a pretty steady way to make money from blogging. Although, as you said, most of the opportunities are only available to those with a good pagerank, which takes a lot of time and effort. It's clearly not a get rich quick scheme, which makes it honest!
I'm currently waiting for approval on my personal blog. It's the only one that's old enough to qualify at the moment.
BTW If my blog is approved my first opportunity will be writing a review on your blog, so wish me luck! ;)
Lots of my posts on my personal as well as my other blogs are about various goods and services anyway, as is the case on lots of peoples blogs, so getting paid something for it sounds good to me.
Mike, thanks for answering my question in the post. I must have been pretty blind to have missed that big PPP banner on the top! Doh!
I'm not sure if PPP will look at making some changes to their looking at PR to determine how much a site can pull in terms of review amount, since Google is now penalising any site that uses PR to commercialise their online dealings.
Hey Mike, would you be putting up your weekly earning roundups anymore?
Tom: Thanks. I tried to join yesterday but got no response. May have been because I used a hotmail adress. Time permitting I'll try again later using a different email address.
Sean: Good luck with PPP! Hope it works out okay for you.
yc: I must admit to having a few doubts about PR despite having written about it today (Wed). I'm not 100% certain as to what is true and/or rumour at the moment.
Thanks,
Mike.
The good thing about internet business is you don't need to invest a lot of money to setup the business. You even don't need to have your own products, there is an internet business called Affiliated Marketing
