Page Rank 2

I never thought I'd see the day but its here. This site has just improved page rank from 0 to 2. This opens up a few more avenues to make money online. I'll look at rearranging the page and hopefully start to sell some advertising.

If anyone is interested in purchasing a blog post, blog link or 125 spot then just leave a comment below.

On another note, I have received my first payment from Social Spark and over the next few weeks I should start to see some more payouts from both them and pay per post.

Paid Postings

So now this blog is pay per post approved. It is also listed on Social Spark but I'm still awaiting for an approval verification from there. It seems to be a bit of a 2 bit system over there with many things that need sorting. I've recently been told that I don't meet the requirements for a post after being approved for it and "them" reserving the opportunity for me.

This has happened a few times so I have stopped taking opportunities from them for the time being. I am due to be paid today for my first social spark post. With not using them its fallen at a great time that I have had an advertiser from Sponsored Reviews get in touch about a $20 opportunity (of which i get $13) so that should keep things running while I can find a few more opportunities on pay per post etc.

My Search Funds - Payment Date Missed

I've just logged in and checked my status again at My Search Funds (My Homepage Friends) and they are currently paying out for balances in excess of £20 ($40) for the end of May 2008. I managed to meet the payment for April but was a few pounds off for the May payment.

Another month and I should be due around the same payment as last time, somewhere in the region of $70, that will put me a lot closer to my target and well into the $350+ range. Roll on June 2008 payouts.

I'm also trying to meet the £20 per month target to ensure a pay day every month rather than just every 2. Fingers crossed and let me get searching!

Another Pay Per Post - Post

Well its finally happened, my blogspot blog has been accepted at Pay Per Post. I took an opportunity yesterday only to find that my blog hadn't been added to the list of where I could write that particular post.

I'm wondering if there is an option to disclude (I don't think that's a word!) them or whether it was just too soon after being approved. Anyway I'll see how the next opp goes and report back.

Another update - Funds have started to be paid for jobs I've taken in the last 30 days, the total should be over $100 after all payouts have completed, plus about $20 from Social Spark. For now anyway its another $10 to the total.

Pay Per Post

It looks as though this blog might finally get approved to earn some money itself rather then just relaying what I earn from my other 2 blogs.

This will be a big plus for me and will mean that I have 3 blogs on 3 different topics which will hopefully result in more opportunities becoming available. I've also started making some slight amendments to the sidebar so will look to continue these over the next week and may even consider a new theme design.

Does anyone know how to get a non-standard theme on a blogspot blog?

New Category - Blog Advertising/Reviews

I've been lucky enough to have been approached to post a review on one of my blogs. With a bit of luck this will start to happen more often and it means that I can negotiate a price without someone in the middle taking a percentage. This had let to me adding the category "Blog Advertising/Reviews" to the list of money making profits and has also got me another $30 closer to my first year target.

With a bit of luck this target will be reached around the 9 month mark which will arrive in October. It is also time to make a few amendments to this site, so if anyone has any tips just let me know.

Thanks for reading,

Things running smoothly

Well there's not been any real increase in earnings recently. I've taken a few opportunities from pay per post that I'm now waiting to receive payment for. I've also taken 2 opportunities that have been approved at social spark.

AdSense is moving slowly and I'm up to about $60. I'm still awaiting payment for bux.to and I've managed to amass another $15, I'll have to see how much I have in there once payment is made.

MySearchFunds is still a good earner for me I have over $80 in my account but will not be due a payment this month, so should get that amount in mid August.

How are your efforts to make money online working out?

Pay Per Post Frustration

Well its gone from having no opportunities to having more that I've ever had.

I have taken 6 or 7 opportunities in the last week and a half, sometimes 2 per day. The problem is that 2 posts have been disallowed. It just so happens that one of these was a $15 opportunity, the highest I've taken from Pay Per Post.

The reason the first post was disallowed was due to it appearing next to another sponsored post from pay per post. Fair enough I should have remembered their policy and posted a non sponsored post in between. But they didn't even give you the chance to re-submit the post, which I thought was a little poor seen as you'd got the post ready. Surely the advertiser would like the posts and links up sooner rather than waiting for someone else to write the post.

Anyway, fair enough on that one. In between this I took an opportunity from Social Spark, this post got approved and then I posted one from Pay Per Post. Now pay per post said that this post was no good due to the post around it not been good enough. I know they own both businesses through IZEA but c'mon. There is nothing to say that any post isn't "sponsored" from somewhere as most places ask you not to put that fact! So I felt a little sore over that one. A possible $25 extra to the total gone after the work had been done.

Anyway, 2 posts from social spark completed, (one still awaiting approval) and 7 posts completed and approved from pay per post (it so could have been 9). So once payments have been made I will update the totals.
