Blog to Profit and Earn: Work From Home Opportunities

Wed, Dec 9, 2009, by Glynis Smy

Blogging

Blog writing is a popular, work from home activity on the Internet. Google, Wordpress and other blog platforms all have software that is easy to use. Blogger is a good blog upload as it allows you to add advertisments and therefore you earn valuable cash. Some websites pay for you to write regular posts. You can earn weekly or monthly, this article shares a few of those paying sites. Some are not so well known amongst bloggers and are keen to recruit.

Working from home is becoming very popular and one of the ways to do so is to write on the Internet for various companies. Blogs used to be daily diaries for those wishing to share their knowledge and everyday activities. Now they are cash earners, careers are made from blogging. Advertisers love bloggers and pay well to be reviewed on their pages. This article covers both the well known resources and a few little known websites. Hyperlinks will take you to various pages and areas of information.

Many popular websites, such as Adgitize are useful for the blogger as they drive traffic to the blog and you earn when they click on the Adgitize adverts.

CMF adverts also earn you cash when the advert is clicked on. If you upload ” target=”_blank”>Entrecard this drives traffic to the blog but you do not earn from it, however it is a useful tool to gain views. I have gained followers of my blogs through this system and this helps with page ranking. SEO/Search engines such as Bing, Google, Yahoo, Excite, Cuil (cool), and Technorati are just a few search engines that support weblogs. To view an active weblog directory check out Weblogs.com and see them pinging around cyberspace.

The above are all well known and are good to have in your sidebar. For those of you who do not know how these work, click on the pictures you see attached to the 125 x125 squares and see what happens. I have added a few for you to play with. Each picture links to the blog in question. Look down the sidebar for other images with Adgitize Me, Drop or CMF Ads attached to them.

   

  

The two blogs above are run by Louie Jerome and Lauren Axlerod both have links to other blogs and bloggers, here you will see a variety of different ways to earn blogging.

 

R J Evans runs the WEBPHEMERA BLOG, it has links for advertising at the bottom of its blog. Not all bloggers layout their templates and themes in the same way. It is always worth scrolling to the bottom of posts to find the earning opportunities. If you click on the adverts you will usually get taken to the HOME page of the website offering cash for ads.

WEBSITES THAT PAY YOU TO BLOG

One company that pays for your blog posts is BlogToProfit. The great thing about this is that they pay weekly into Paypal or by a method specified by the blogger.

The site has specific rules:

  • A blog of 2 months old plus is required
  • Your blog must be updated regularly, preferably twice weekly
  • The content must be good quality and well written.
  • The address of the blog must be a www.name.com – not www.name.blogspot (or other address extras).

For example: http://www.glynissmy.com is an acceptable address but http://scribblesbyglynis.blogspot.com/ is not. For just $10 for the year, I upgraded via Google and gained the www.glynissmy.com and it has paid off. My blog is now a page rank 3 and rising. The articles and adverts are intertwined and it has no affect on my blog readers, they still visit.

Creative Weblogging is another paying site that is valuable to the humble blog. They have blog requirements and suggest Blogger.com (Google), as the platform to use.

The Blogadvertisingstore, pays for reviews that you post on your blog, the advertiser can see the blog promotions via the blog directory. They pay on the 1st of every month.

I blog on Getpaidfromus, this pays a little for my posts, I tend to use this one for linking to Triond articles and advertising my other blogs or articles. I also advertise for other companies such as Blogsvertise, since September 20th to November 20th, I have earned over $95. The adverts take me just a few minutes to write and on average I earn $10 per advert.

Buy Blog Reviews pays via Paypal every 2 weeks. You bid on jobs in certain categories, they pay 70% to the blogger for the advert placed in the post.

Other sites that offer you chances to earn money blogging are:

SNAPBOMB

iHype

This site gives the chance for the blogsite owner to state how much they require per completed post. The blog publisher is paid via Paypal (promptly).

Pay per click adverts via Netklix this company pays out after you have earned $100.

Another way to earn is to link from your blog to pyramid links of websites that you write for, I write on Bukisa and am building a network of writers, as they earn so do I. One of my networkers has now recruited 3 members of his own, so now I earn a little from 4 people, just by recruiting 1. I was recruited by another member, so he is earning a little from me plus my 4. There is no harm in pyramid writing, you lose nothing, you payout nothing, it does not weaken your earning chances.

Other useful hyperlinks not related to blogs or blogging: Jobs (share this article with someone you know who is job hunting).

Yahoo Jobs

Elance Jobs

Excite Jobs

Technorati Jobs

I hope this is useful to those of you who are considering setting up a blog or who have already got one.

    A very useful and helpful article. I am able to earn a little by helping my son produce online worksheets in maths and handwriting for schools. This could be quite a prolific income if i had more time.
