Blogging is Profitable
For about a month and half now I have been including posts on this blog that are sponsored by advertisers using a service called PayPerPost. When I first started doing posts for them it was paying on average 5-7 dollars per post. Given I could find an interesting subject, make a post and be done with it in about 10 minutes this was not big bucks but it was worth doing. I mean I need to keep my blog active anyway right, so being paid for doing so is not a bad idea.
Back at the beginning a post that paid 10-15 dollars was big bucks and usually had a lot of requirements to qualify for. Now recently PayPerPost released something called segmentation that breaks down Blogs by things like Google PR, Alexa Rank and some other factors. This has let advertisers put more requirements on posters but the effect has been much more profitable blogging for people with authoritative Blogs.
Right now for instance there is a post available that will put 1000 dollars in your pocket if your Blog has a Google PR of 8. Now there are not too many PR8 Blogs around but it sure shows the potential. I have taken opportunities thus far as high as 45 dollars for a single post. I have also started to see a lot of opportunities for between 15-50 dollars and quite a few in the 75-100 dollar range.
After being online for about 10 years I have to say PayPerPost is at the moment the easiest way for the average person to make at least a little money. Rather then chase quick money schemes or get a second job just go out and blog for money with PayPerPost. I still don’t see any full time income coming out of this in the next 6 months; however, just about anyone can start a blog, build it up and easily make a few hundred dollars a month and for those with authoritative Blogs doing a few posts a week can easily produce between 500-1000 dollars in extra income a month.
If you have not checked out PayPerPost yet you really should. It is an excellent way to add some revenue to your online and blogging efforts. The best part to me though is the quality of the advertisers. There are a few that really don’t fit my blog and I just don’t blog for them, yet the ones I have selected have been top quality and provided some excellent content for ComTech News. Plus since all bloggers are required to have a disclosure policy it keeps everything above board which is great for blogger, advertisers and readers alike.

Hi Jack!
I’m glad to see / hear that you’re making an income from ‘blogging.
I signed up with Review Me, but nothing so far.
I may give PayPerPost a rumble and see what shakes loose…

Yea Review Me seems to have potential but we have not gotten a single gig from them yet. PayPerPost has be easy to make a few extra hundred a month with. Blogvertise has been pretty good too but no where near the volume of PayPerPost.
For us it is just a bit of beer money but for a lot of average Joes and Janes I see it as a way better option then a second job,
