Sites that pay you to blog

Blogging is in nowadays. It gives people a way to express their thoughts and to earn at the same time. More bloggers have earned through their blogs. With the right sites and marketing strategies, one can well earn by writing a blog. I have stumbled upon several sites which pay bloggers to blog. Here are some of them.

1. Payperpost


Payperpost requires that a blog should have at least 10 existing non-sponsored original written posts in the last 30 days before it is submitted for approval. However, one can still become a member and use payperpost's tools in his blog even if it has not yet been approved. The only thing is that one cannot join their marketplace unless the blog has been approved. Bloggers may earn $5 per post. Payments are processed through paypal.

2. Bloggerwave
Bloggerwave does not offer a strict criteria for submission of blogs. In fact this sample blog has been accepted although it has not generated much traffic yet and is not yet a month old in the net. Payment is sent via paypal.

3. Buyblogreviews

Buyblogreviews is not strict on the screening of blogs that get accepted as long as it has original content. Moreover, it offers a high commision rate to bloggers or publishers, giving 70% share of the profit. Payments are processed via paypal.

4. Text-link Ads

Bloggers or publishers sell simple relevant ads on their site or blog. They earn through clicks generated by the ads.

I will be posting of this kind of sites once I have gone through them and have tried them myself.

Blogging

I have joined ptc and ptr sites before in the hope of earning extra. I found several ptc sites which really pay but the earnings are not enough to cover for my broadband connection. Moreover, some sites I've joined which used to pay have become scams.

In my article on the first page of this blog, I have given a list of several sites which I joined. Of the sites listed there, only a few have remained genuine paying sites. Most of them have become scams or must have been scams from the start. Mylot is first in my list of genuine and paying sites. I have received payment from them. However, my interest in it waned a bit after e-gold encountered a problem. I was forced to switch to moneybookers in order to get my payment. I wish I had chosen paypal then as my payment method for mylot since I think paypal offers an easier way of withdrawing money from them. There are still lots of things that I am not familiar with moneybookers. Perhaps I just need sometime to familiarize myself with moneybookers so I could withdraw my money from there easily. As for paypal, I have earnings that have been sitting there for months now. The problem is not with paypal but with my bank account. I need to have a credit card or a debit card in order to verify my account with paypal so I could withdraw money from there to my local bank account.

First in my list of proven scam sites is 1-800 mail.com. I wasted my time in such a useless site. I withdrew my $125 from them months ago but until now I still don't have it in my account. Another scam site is E-goldworld.com. It used to pay but eventually it became a scam site, too.
After the problem with e-gold occured, I stopped visiting robo-gold, too. I think they have changed their website. Since I no longer post in paid forums, I no longer find any use for Sign-profit. I was paid once from this site just before the problem with e-gold occured. After that, I had a hard time withdrawing from my account and until now I have not withdrawn my earnings from it. When I checked once, they have changed payment methods and no longer use e-gold.

I am looking again for some other ways to earn online other than doing ptr and ptc sites. I hope there are legitimate sites that offer good opportunities online.
