Another payout from Sponsored Reviews - my biggest yet at $71.50. This is proving to be the best service for paying the most for your reviews.
As I mentioned in my last post I will do a comparison of the services and let you know the ups and downs of each one. I have also received my first payout from Smorty, $6 for one post I carried out. I also logged back in there are had the opportunity to take another 10 posts. I clicked on the one I wanted to take but it wouldn't pop up with any details.
I'll try that again later - another $77.50 to add to the total - a payout from either homepage friends or adsense will break the $500 limit.

Target well in sight
I've jsut received some more payments from Pay Per Post. I must admit is it my favourite of all the paid postings site to use, even if they don't pay you the most per review, you all ways know where you are with them. I think I'll right a comparison post as all the ones I use have their own little benefits.
Anyway with this amount I've earnt over $160 from pay per post and over $400 in total. The target of $500 will be gone in another month it everything goes to plan so the next question is, how much can I earn in my first year and could I even hit the big $1000.
That seems a little ambitious but it is definately the next big target.

Social Spark Surprise
I received an email earlier today saying that I had been given a bonus at Social Spark. The first time I didn't ready the message correctly, I thought it would be a bonus opportunity. Which is great but I usually get to them only to be met with the line:
**US BLOGGERS ONLY**
To my surprise I logged into my account and checked my messages. I'd been awarded a $25 bonus on a post I had already written and been paid for. The post was to advertise some coupon codes for GoDaddy and the had given me the bonus. So thank you social spark and thank you godaddy. I've had mixed feelings about social spark but this has definately made up for all those US Blogger Only comments I see on most of the posts I can qualify for.
Right lets go look for some more opps with $100 bonuses.

1 down but still going
I haven't managed to get to the bottom of the situation with my blog over at philbenwell.co.uk/blog yet. I'm still waiting for the hosting company to let me know exactly why they have taken my blog down.
Anyway, it looks like I will have to start over as I didn't have a full back up of all the posts so there is likely to be a cost in that some pay per post opportunities will not get paid, this includes a $35 opp which is a shame.
I will learn form this mistake and it will give me the chance to redesign the site with out the worry of transferring etc. I would have however still liked to keep that as is and just start another new one.
Keeping plodding on but adsense, pay per post, social spark and other opps have all dried up now.

Hosting SUCKS!
Well here is my little rant. The blog I am earning most of my money on has suddenly dissapeared. I contacted the web host who have my account as cancelled for some reason, I've had no reply in 2 days to 2 support tickets.
It just goes to show paid hosting doesn't mean hassel free blogging, my site here at blogger has never been down.
God knows what the pepole over at streamlinenet.co.uk are playing at but I don't think I'll be hosting with them again.
Money making is currently on hold - do you think I could claim loss of earnings?

More Money Flooding In
August seems to be a good month for payments. As I mentioned a couple of days ago I have hit the payout amount for AdSense, although I will not get this payment for another 30-45 days or so it was still great to hit that limit.
As well as the AdSense, we have also entered the payment window for homepage friends. I should be due around another $70 from there. I have picked up a message though saying payment might be a little late but should still come before the end of the month. Great work homepage friends, its always nice to know whats happening. Too many sites just leave their customers guessing.
I've also received more pay per post payments and took my biggest opp from there at $35 earlier this month. This one is still to be approved and paid with a few others but the total already paid from them so far this year has not hit $164.26
I'll await payments from homepage friends and then I will update the total again. Target here we come.

Paid Blogging Ethics
I know there has been debate in the past as to whether you should take sponsored blog posts and not make clear that these are sponsored, that is not my issue. My issue resolves around taking an opportunity from the likes of pay per post or social spark and not really commenting on the site or product in question but rather including the links and then rambling on about something else, only semi related.
Here's the detail.
I have the opportunity to take an opportunity about an auto loan. The only blog I can post it on is a tech blog. I don't really want to go off topic so I thought I could write about Remote Control Cars and loans to buy the best available?
What do you think? I know the advertiser could always say it wasn't good enough and I might not get paid but how often do they read the post when its for under $10 when the links are still present?
Can an advertiser say no once pay per post have approved the post?
