I’ve a compile a list of paid posting programs that I’m currently making good money from. The ones that I highly recommend is PayPerPost, ReviewMe and SponsoredReviews. The bulk of my paid posting income comes mainly from these 3 programs but there are others which are just as good, just that I have no time to really explore them.

Depending on your niche, page rank, traffic and other factors, the amount of money you make from these paid programs will varied from the hundreds to the thousands in a month. Although the income may be good, the income is not passive or what you call self generative and you need to spend certain number of hours to do these paid opportunities daily. After a while, you will find things repetitive and will be hard for most people to continue unless you really like to write about different stuff every day. That’s why it’s important to have a long term plan in place.

If you decide to explore blogging as a means to making money online, there are a lot of opportunities available for you to monetize your blog. One of the best ways to do so is through paid posting opportunities. You are actually being paid to write reviews of products, services or simply websites.

However, you have to take note that this source of income is not passive and consistent. One moment, you could be getting tons of paid opportunities, the next moment you may have none or very few. It depends on numerous factors such as your blog’s Page Rank, Alexa ranking, traffic, link popularity and so on.

In this post, I will list down a simple guideline to help you make money from your blog after 3 months. Although you can start monetizing your blog as soon as you set it up, most paid posting opportunities sites required your blog to be at least 3 months old before these sites accept you into their paid posting programs.

Google Clamps Down On Paid Postings

Here is an update on the latest round of Page Rank drops that affect thousands and thousands of bloggers worldwide. At last, Google decided to clamp down on bloggers who are monetizing their sites through paid postings. Many webmasters who are doing paid postings in their blogs found their blogs’ Page Rank dropped from even as high as PR4 to PR0. This is especailly true for people who are doing PayPerPost opportunities.

Google is doing this retaliation to people who are blatantly selling links and doing paid postings. It seems that Google is now going full force to stop other ads networks from jeopardizing and hurting their long profitable revenue channel “Adsense”. It’s understandable and while this seems so surreal to the thousands and thousands of bloggers worldwide, it’s a reality that will stay.

So what does it mean for you if you are doing paid postings all these while?

<!–more–> Definitely in the unforeseen future, it’s going to hurt your income, but then you should not be dishearten. After all, this is part and parcel of life and you should be prepared for it. That’s why it’s always important to diversify your income channels so that when one suddenly dropps, you wlll not be affected that badly.

If your Page Rank is not affected even though you are doing paid postings and selling links, you need to act first and remove all traces of PayPerPost and other paid postings if possible. Stop doing paid postings if you do not want to affect your Page Rank.

However, if you don’t care about your sites and you are those bloggers who set up your blogs to purely monetize from paid postings and selling links, then please carry on as per normal. :twisted:

Currently, there are much speculation going round whether Google will offer amnesty to PayPerPost or other paid postings blogs. Thee is another rumor going round Google may scrap Page Rank altogether.

Since whatever Google does is beyond our control, we should continue to stick with building quality sites and also look for opportunities to exploit and make money.

If you have read through my posts, you would have known by now, I always advocate diversifying your income channels. I have sites built purely for paid postings and I intend to continue monetizing it that way. So whatever you do, always think of alternatives in the event of unforeseen circumstances. :)

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.
