Back to the theme of how to make money with your blog. Writing reviews for reward can be a very lucrative side-line to your blog’s normal day-to-day maintenance. It’ll come as no surprise that the way to go with writing paid reviews to make money is to sign up with multiple Paid Review sites. So here’s another one that I find very useful, in fact they are my favourite site for paid reviews.

PayPerPost

PayPerPost are well established and do provide a good supply of advertisers wanting blogs to review their businesses or websites. They have the usual entry criteria for blogs before they will be accepted into their program. That is a minimum three months old with no long gaps between posts and a fair amount of traffic. As with other similar sites, they will accept blogs with a low page rank (my The Honest Way Blog is PR0 at the time of posting), but it just means that most of the opportunities will not be available to you to make money from until your page rank increases.

They do look at your Alexa rank and will offer you more opportunities to make money from if yours is good. Mine is 116,648 at the time of posting and has been continually improving over the last few weeks. They also have a referral program where they will pay you to refer new members to them as well as new advertisers. This is a spin-off way to make money from being a member and simply putting up a small banner on your blog.

You can expect to earn from $5 per review, but that figure grows the higher your PR gets, so that the top blogs can earn in the $100s per review. So there’s motivation to make money by getting your blog right up there with a good page rank.

So why are you still sitting here reading this? Get busy with your blog!

MAKE MONEY

Good question. To make money with a blog, you need to keep your content fresh and interesting but sometimes that’s not always an easy thing to do. It’s important to post regularly and often too, or the readership that you have so carefully and diligently nurtured will rapidly start to fall away with noting of any value or interest to read.

So sometimes you have to get inspiration from other sources. One good way I find when I’m stuck for an idea to post about is to spend some time reading other people’s blogs, or checking out the ton of free article databases that can be found everywhere on the web.

I often seem to come across an article or post that has some interesting information that I just hadn’t thought about. So I make some rough notes about what I’ve just found, making sure I’ve got the bare facts straight, then set about writing a post of my own about what I’ve just discovered.

It’s not plagiarism, as the post is in my own words and after all, news is news and is copied all over the place every day! It’s all down to the way you tell it!

So if you’re ever stuck for what to write about, go do some research and surprise yourself at what’s out there to be learned!
