If you are serious about making money through blogging, it will be better for you to get your own domain and web hosting. Although you can start off with a free blogging service, it’s always best to go for the paid option instead.

Having your blog on a free hosting service will only diminish the number of paid posting opportunities you will get. And not to mention that the major ads networks all prefer to work with those who have their own domains and having your own domain means that you will get your blog approve much faster.

As a blogger there are many ways you can monetize your blog, and one of the best way to do so is through paid reviews of products and service. I have compiled a list of paid posting opportunity sites for bloggers who want to monetize their sites. Most of these sites required your blog to be established for three months or more. You have to read through the individual sites’ FAQ to find out what are these requirements.

In order to make more money from paid posting opportunities, it’s best to have a high Page Rank and also Alexa ranking. The higher your blog’s Page Rank and Alexa ranking, the likelihood of getting more and higher paid posting opportunities are there. The list is by no means comprehensive but these are the sites that I’m currently making good money from. If you have any recommendations besides the ones on the list, please feel free to suggest.
