Open Salon is a social blogging platform in beta test belongs to online magazine Salon.com. the editors picks and shows the most interesting contents on Open Salon’s front page. After registration, you can begin to create your blog and make friends. Most important, you can earn money from your blog posts.

If you are not a U.S. resident, you can make money with Google AdSense revenue sharing. You can have totally three ads on your profile page, which are in the right-hand column, between posts and in the left-hand column. You can receive 100% of the ads revenue.

If you are a U.S. resident, you can also make money with another very new system, called Tippem. Tippem allows members of Open Salon to tip each other. A “Tip!” button appears below your blog post. If other members like you posts, they will “Tip!” them which, in my opinion, is just the same as “Digg”, “Vote” or “Like it”. You can decide the tip amount yourself from $0.10 to $1000 and the default tip is $1. After selecting the “Tip!” button, your tip is queued on your tipping queue for payment which can be paid or canceled later.

To process tip payment, Open Salon uses Revolution MoneyExchange as its payment method. After you registration on Open Salon, you can sign up MoneyExchange from your Open Salon account, and you will receive a $10 bonus from Revolution MoneyExchange for you to tip. In order to receive tips, you must accept the tips from other members by selecting the “Accept” tab on your tipping queue and clicking the tip you want to receive to complete the transaction. You are required to accept your tips within 30 days or your tips will expire and turn back to the sender.
