Blogging Site That Pays Bloggers: Get Paid From Us

Got something to write about but don't know where to start? Read on. You may just find some valuable information in this short article.

When I started to blog, I didn't know much about the techniques successful bloggers use to earn revenue from their blogs (I still don't know much till now). All I knew then was that they were earning and that I could also earn from blogging. By surfing through the Internet, I learned that I could potentially earn a few dollars by just blogging and blogging and blogging. That seemed quite easy for me. Well, that was what I thought. You see, I have always loved to write and before I learned to use the pc and the Internet, I had had this habit of writing down my thoughts on paper and notebooks.

Excited to start earning on the Web (ehem...that was my first goal), I started googling for sites where I could possibly put up my own blog for free. That was how I learned about blogger.com. I signed up and set up my very first blog (this is the one, under another name which I changed two years later).

My first entry on this blog was about ptc sites where I was a member during that time. Those ptc sites were the very first income generating sites I engaged in. Income with the ptc sites dragged and I actually felt it was a waste of my time but I kept on clicking ads to reach my goal of earning online. That time, paypal does not pay people from our country and I chose the now defunct e-gold. I did earn a few cents and had been very excited to see at least $4 dollars in my e-gold account.

After a few entries, I felt like I was just wasting my time. I never earned even a cent from my blogging and I really did not understand how some people could be so lucky with Google Adsense.

I did earn $10 (I think that was after a year or more):(. But that $10 was not from blogging. It was earned from Mylot.

After a failed attempt at earning from blogging, I searched again for writing sites where I may be paid for my efforts. I found a lot of blogging sites that have the potential to pay bloggers but only one caught my attention. This blogging site was Get Paid From Us. I signed up immediately after reading their terms and conditions and started writing.

The first month at Get Paid From Us had been a good experience for me. I was paid a measely $3 after a month. Not much. But it was still money and that was my first payment from blogging ever.

I still write for Get Paid From Us from time to time although I do not get my main income from there. I have learned quite a few tricks in earning money online after 3 years of surfing the Web and I no longer count on paid blogging sites to earn a few dollars. I have generated a good flow of income from freelance writing and I am earning quite a decent living from it. But I would still recommend beginners to try blogging sites that pay writers to garner a little reward for the efforts they are doing. They can start from these blogging sites, hone their skills and then go for larger paying markets such as freelance writing sites and private clients when they are ready enough.
