Blogging For Money

Blogs can be a *huge* moneymaker for anyone interested in working from home. Millions of people read millions of entries every day, creating an ideal platform for "product placement." Businesses love to promote their products to the masses, and blogs can provide big time targeted exposure. Bloggers can capitalize on that fact by posting product reviews in their blogs. Simply submit your review to the company, get it approved, post it on your blog, and get paid. Most companies will pay anywhere from $5-$10 per post, with a maximum of 2 posts per day. And they don't require you to write a novel, either. Usually posts between 75-150 words will suffice.

So what do you need in order to get paid to blog? Most companies need to see that your blog is already established. Meaning that it has been online for a while, you've kept it updated regularly, and you're generating decent traffic to it. That's not to say you need thousands of unique visitors per day, but if nobody is reading your blog, it's unlikely you'll get paid for your opinions! Working knowledge of HTML and a passion for writing are also helpful, but if you're blog is already established, then you shouldn't have too much trouble.

So what companies will actually pay you to blog? There are several, but the three I recommend most are Pay Per Post, Blogitive, and Blogvertise. They are all legitimate, paying companies, and all of them are free to join.
