PayU2Blog is a company that pays bloggers to write sponsored posts for third party advertisers. Like other paid blogging companies, PayU2Blog compensates bloggers with a specific dollar amount in exchange for that blogger writing a sponsored post.

However, there are a few key differences with how PayU2Blog works. For starters, you don’t have to worry about getting first-come, first-serve assignments. Assignments are signed to you. This can be a distadvantage to bloggers who want to pick and choose their own assignments. PayU2Blog refer to this as “cherry picking”, and they do not allow it. In essence, you are to write about what you are assigned. Skipping over assignments can result in the permanent banning of your account.

PayU2Blog doesn’t want to overwhelm its bloggers, so there are options to limit the number of assignments you would like to receive in a month, or go on a hiatus (known as a black-out date).

Each typical writing assignment pays $5.00, unless it requires more words, links, and/or images or a video. More important, the average PayU2Blog assignment is freeform. This means you can write about whatever you want, so long as the required link is included somewhere in the blog entry. The word requirement is sixty words.

A blog is considered to be eligible if:

• the blog is at least thirty days old
• the blog is written in English
• the blog has original content
• the blog has only one author
• existing advertisements must not obscure the blog
• the owner of the blog must be at least eighteen years of age

There are a few other requirements, and a blog’s acceptance is ultimately up to PayU2Blog.

Payouts on assignments are done every other Friday, via PayPal.
