If you are a work at home type or just looking for some extra side income, consider paid blogging. The get paid to blog concept is simple: write blog posts on behalf of companies and post them on your blog. If you don’t have a blog, starting one is pretty simple and many webhosting companies will help you set up your first blog.
Smorty is an example of one of the better blog advertising companies that pays you to blog. They have a large inventory of advertisers and they will pay you weekly once your blog is approved. They do have a few rules, but compared to other blog advertising companies they make it pretty easy to blog for money.
Getting paid to blog is a great opportunity for many people. Not only do you get paid for writing short pieces of content about sites that you are interested in, but you can do it on your own time and at your own pace. Most companies give you a few days to submit an assignment once you accept it. However, I found its easier to just write the assignment as soon as I accept it.
Smorty typically averages between $5 and $10 per post. But they do keep score based on how much you write, your approval rating, and the quality of the content. As that score increases, better opportunities are made available to you.
If you are an advertiser, Smorty also provides a large selection of qualified and quality bloggers willing to accept your offer. Because they work so closely with their publishers, you can expect a timely turnaround on any campaigns that you purchase. You also have the opportunity to review each post individually and dispute any that didn’t meet your requirements.
Whether advertiser or publisher (blogger), smorty offers a clean, well-maintained service that makes advertising on blogs fun and easy.
