Blogging: Pay Per Post Sites

Another popular traveling job is blogging. This job requires little more than a computer and Internet connection. Other than that, you can do this job almost anywhere. There are 3 main ways you can make money with your blog: 1) Pay Per Post 2) Advertising 3) Affiliate Programs

Instead of making this one long post which you will get bored of reading and give up, I am going to break this down into seperate posts. This one will cover Pay Per Post sites.

The two most notable sites that will Pay Per Post are www.today.com and www.payperpost.com. Let's take a quick look at each. By the way, if you are going to sign up to blog on www.today.com please click one of the links in this post as I am set up with their referral program.

Today.com

I stumbled accross this site and I must say it's pretty cool. Here is the way it works. You sign up on Today.com to create a blog in almost any category from Sports, to Television to Technology. Once you are approved for a blog, you will be paid 3 different ways. The way this program works is you sign up for an account and they pay you $1 per post per day, with a maximum of 1 post per day. You are set up this way for the first 30 days, and if your blog becomes popular in that time, they will continue it on a trial basis for another 30 days. There is a requirement of a minimum of 100 words per post.

The second way you are paid from today.com is per unique visits. They will end up paying you $2 per every 1000 unique visits for your blog. You make very little money via this method unless you end up with a big following.

The final way that Today.com pays you is via their referral program. With Today.com, if you refer someone to them, and they sign up for a blog, you will receive $5. There are a couple ways that you can promote this, but you have to be careful, because you can't just spam message boards and emails to people, as that will get you disqualified from the program. If you have some savy at promoting, you can end making an extra $20 to $50 dollars a month via referrals.


Pay Per Post.com

Pay Per Post.com is a pretty good site, but it's a little tricky. When you do a search for pay per post blogging on Google or any other Search Engine, this tends to come up with the top 5 or 10 spots. Basically, you sign up for an account, and submit your blog for approval. If you are approved, you will be a blogger for hire, and advertisers can hire you to write a post about any subject, related or unlrelated to your blog. You set the price for your pay per post amount. Typcially, you will be hired by an advertiser to blog positiviely about their product or service. You can make money this way, but you will have to work at it, and it will take a lot of time networking with advertisers, and increasing your way up the ranks as a blogger via their site.

I recommend reviewing both and seeing which one works for you. My later posts will include ways to make money if you already have a blog set up with a service like wordpress or some other blog site.
