What is paid blogging?

February 1, 2008 at 4:58pm | Category: Paid Blogging | Comment?

Many bloggers are supplementing their income or generating extra fun money by participating in paid blogging. Paid blogging is when a blogger writes a public blog entry for advertisement purposes, in return for receiving monetary compensation. The public blog entry may advertise a product, a service, or simply generate buzz and traffic for a newly launched website.

With paid blogging, you can’t just set up an obscure blog with blogger.com or on a new domain, and do paid blogging and expect the dollars to come pouring in. Most advertisers are looking for established blogs that have a reader base and decent amount of traffic to pay for advertising on. And this makes sense. Why would anyone want to pay money to have an advertisement that isn’t going to be seen by many people, if any at all? Many advertisers are also looking for blogs with Google Page Ranks, which can sometimes be difficult to turn up, as Google often reduces a paid-blogging-participating blog’s PR to zero if the paid-for posts on that blog are not disclosed and has its links tagged with rel=”nofollow”.

Generally, if your blog is established, and dates back at least a few months, and has some traffic coming in, you will be eligible to do paid blogging. Even if your blog does not have a PR, you’ll still be able to do paid blogging. However, you may not be eligible for a lot of the high paying opportunities that bloggers with blogs that have PR are eligible for.

So, how do you get started with paid blogging? First, make sure that your blog meets the requirement. Generally, these requirements are:

Then you’ll need to find some paid blogging sites. Popular, verifiable ones that I recommend are:

When you sign up, you’ll need to provide some basic information about yourself, including mailing address, social security number (for tax purposes) and PayPal account (all of the paid blogging sites listed above pay via PayPal). You’ll also have to provide your blogs: titles, URLs, archive link and RSS feed link.

Once approved, you’re ready to start paid blogging! Each site will have its own rules and terms to read and abide by, and each one will walk you through writing a paid blog entry and submitting it.
