It was a while since I last checked out some site that let you earn while blogging. Refer this. I started looking up ways to earn through blogs ever since I started off with my very own set of blogs. For me, the priority is to blog. If I am able to make some money off it, then why not? Since I started doing that I happened to research more into earning through blogging and guess what, its such a common thing on the net. People actually blog to earn rather than earn while blogging. There are people who have sites and blog with content that just fetches them money. So, while I kept going with my research, I learned a lot about advertising over blogs using various sources such as google adwords, amazon affiliates etc. Then I also happened to stumble upon sites that pay you to blog about certain topics. One such site was the one that I had reviewed earlier.

Then there is this other site called payperpost.



From the looks of it and from the search results on google, this is one of the most popular and successful site that pays you to blog. Of course I did want to try this and if I can earn while blogging then why not. So I registered and submitted my blog for approval. One thing here is that every blog is approved and every post is approved. You have to adhere to certain criteria before your blog/post is accepted. For example, your blog should not contain only sponsored posts, but should also contain other reading material between every sponsored post. Also the posts themselves have to adhere to certain conditions set while taking up an opportunity such as having an image or a link or some keywords in the post as specified.

Also compared to the other site which allowed only posters from certain parts of the world, this one allows postings from almost all over the world. Also the number of opportunities are huge with some advertisers paying even upto $250 per accepted post. Of course the ones that pay good money also have some other criteria such as minimum Google Pagerank. In fact some advertisers also have certain restrictions such as blocked domains - this includes even the likes of livejournal and blogger among others. While that is definitely a damper, there are many opportunities that are open to LJ also. Solace comes from the fact that there are people who have earned in the range of $1000-$2000 each month. Thats quite a lot of money for even sitting all day and blogging IMHO.

Well, I am definitely not looking to earn that kind of money, because if I do, then that would be my primary source of income and I would then have to think about quitting the job that I have. Of course it doesn't hurt to tread into new waters and see what opportunities are available in the world outside. Who knows, if things work out well, and I am able to earn out of something that I enjoy, then maybe I can think of some totally different career paths a few years down the line when I am willing and able to take risks with my career. Till then I am just going to keep on experimenting and see what is out there on the internet that interests me.
