Earning from Blogging

If you have a blog, chances are you earn money from it via advertising through banner ads or contextual ads. But if you are so fond of blogging, you can expand your earning opportunities by writing for blogs and getting paid for your blogging.

There are several blog-for-pay venues that you can consider joining:

Blogit.com = readers pay a subscription fee to read blogs, and this fee is divided among the writers the subscriber reads. The more readers the blog writer attracts, the greater the income for the writer.


Pay per Post = this works more as paid advertising copy. Instead of the blogger writing a review about products or services unencumbered, the blogger responds to what is called "opportunities" which are requests for writeups from advertisers. An example is the request for 40-word writeup designed to create buzz for an online children's apparel website - and the fee is $2.50 -- such a paltry sum for blatant paid ad placement.

Weblogs Inc = this works more like a paid position, where you apply to blog for one of the company's blogs (mostly tech and Internet focused)

Marqui's Pay Bloggers Program = again, this acts like paid endorsement where you will be paid $800 per month to make a "textual mention (with URL link) about Marqui and its Service on your blog four times a month." An additional $50 will be paid for every qualified lead you send their way.

If you don't mind endorsing some companies or services, not because you think there are well worth endorsing, but because you were paid to do so, then you can consider several of the above opportunities.
