Posting Opportunities

It looks as though there are a few more opportunities on the likes of pay per post that are willing to accept posts on free domains like this one. Recently I have done 2 last week with another 2 available. This is getting promising and will take my total income for this free blog to $30. Not bad for a blog that is 100% free.

Its time for the target to go!

I'm still pending a lot of payments form different sources but its time for the target of $500 to be passed. Today I transferred out $57.80 from my Social Spark account into my paypal account. This puts my new total at $523.67, I have also taken off the $15 I was due from bux.to as I haven't heard from them and 3 months has passed since I requested a payout. I will make another post about that though shortly.

SO the target has been passed. Can I earn $500 in my first year of blogging. For sure. Can I earn $1000, who knows. What I need to do it set myself a new target for year 2. How much do you guys think I should aim for?

Opportunities drying up!

Having only been blogging since February I'm not sure if this is the norm or not but a lot of opportunities seem to have been drying up.

I've been paid out all I've earned from Pay Per Post and have not seen an open opportunity to take in the last month. I've also signed up and am not a member at:

Buy Blog Reviews
Smorty
Sponsored Reviews
Blogitive

All of which have not given me an a post in the last month. It could be something to do with a lack of advertisers but more likely it could be to do with most opportunities are only available to blogs with PR.

Here's hoping that Google will bless at least one of my blogs with some PR in the next update, rumoured to be around the end of July.

How is everyone else finding paid blog posting at the minute?

Ebooks, should I?

In my time on the net I have been tempted to buy the odd ebook and usually back out of the deal thinking it will be a rip off. On occasion I have gone through with it and have been ripped off, I have paid for a few short reports which have made me a little money, I remember one where I read the 3 pages and just thought, "I cannot believe people are selling this!" The offer was just ripping people off, that said it did work and introduced me to a new method of earning, (no not the ripping people off part).

I'm still dubious over ebooks and 9 times out of 10 will still not buy them, most of the hype is fake but been a blogger I did splash out on Blogging to the Bank.

The book covers a lot of points that I wish I would have been told about or shown when I first started out. It would be ideal for anyone just starting out and wanting to make money blogging. The book says that if you are new that you would need to look up a few terms. I think that is a little harsh, if you are interested enough then that is a given. The book does very well at guiding you through the process and gives you an alternative to most situations. It has definitely given me some things to think about and I think that this site might under go some changes shortly and I will also look at starting a new site as well.

I have been doing this for just under 6 months now and I still felt that there were parts I didn't understand enough, this book does a great job of telling you what you need and why and how it works. That way you can also add your own spin on things to make your blogs unique.

Have you had any ebooks that you thought were pure gold, or maybe total garbage?

Finding money making opportunities!

OK so you have a blog and you want to make money, what next?

What you have to do is find some ways in which you can earn from your blog. Paid posting has to be the simplest and fastest way to earn some cash. I've talked about Pay Per Post and Blogitive in previous posts but today I have found another service, Buy Blog Reviews.

Buy blog reviews works in the same way as the other sites, advertisers pay the company to provide them with links and marketing etc. These opportunities are then offered to bloggers that meet the criteria of the advertiser, like the blog's topic must be relevant. As a blogger you can either hunt out the opportunities or sometimes if your blog is well established you may even get contacted directly to review a site or product.

I have just registered with the service this morning so I have all three blogs awaiting approval. I'll let you know how they get on. In the mean time why not register your blogs here and start earning yourself?
