Certified Blogaholic

The blogosphere is getting bigger and bigger lately as more and more people discover the opportunities open to bloggers worldwide. I get jittery sometimes that there may not be enough opportunities to go around for everyone. As a matter of fact, opportunities at major get-paid-to-blog sites have now come few and far in between. If there were any, the competition is harsh. A slow internet connection will not stand a chance among the hungry bloggers out there.

Fortunately, like most business environments, the blog advertising industry not only has more publishers, get-paid-to-blog sites are also growing. More entrepreneurs are venturing into the business of matching advertisers with bloggers or publishers. The latest newbie in the field is iHype.com and already has good-paying advertisers.

iHype functions similarly to other GPT sites for blog advertising. A blog can subscribe to opportunities that it qualifies to which depends on Page Rank and the Alexa Rating. Upon subscription to an opportunity, the blogger has 7 days to complete the task and payment will be completed upon approval of the task. IHype shows a lot of potential at the onset and hopefully will be a reliable source of oppotunities for bloggers. Go check it out and take advantage of the continuous growth in the blogosphere.

It seems the blog advertising industry is continuing to grow by leaps and bounds. Another newbie in the blog advertising scheme has entered the industry hoping to connect more bloggers with advertisers in the internet. Unlike some of the older get-paid-to-blog sites, BloggersReview already has a decent amount of advertiser support and I already found a few opportunities in the panel. Though most of them are still unavailable to me, I intend to prove my skills and get a chance to qualify for these tasks.

The platform is not that different from other similar sites other than the layout and design. However, you get a chance to set your review price but will still be allowed to make reviews for opportunities that offer a lower value. I set mine a bit higher than usual considering that only 65% of the total pay will be paid with the balance set as a fee to BloggersReview. Though it can be discouraging for some, it still works for me since I have a pretty clear picture of the income-sharing with the disclosure. Some sites probably even get more as fees without the knowledge of the blogger since the net amount for payment is the only one displayed in the task panel.

Upon approval of your blog, you get to write your first review on the site at a minimal fee of $5. This is not bad with other sites making the requested initial post almost a pre-requisite to getting other opportunities without payment. There are still minimal advertisers compared to the a few other get-paid-to-blog sites, but it’s even better than the others I have joined who had zip advertisers for the past 2 months already.

To all the bloggers out there, add BloggersReview to your portfolio and get paid blogging for products and services. The potential is definitely worth the time and effort since it will only continue to increase your earnings and facilitate in the continuous growth of the industry.

The smell of my mint tea wafts through my nostrils as I struggle to finish my annual reports at the office. Everything I’m writing about the company I’ve already written before. As I try desperately to drag myself out of this sluggish mood I woke up to, I rise from my workstation and walk around the room slowly. I know this feeling. It comes to me when my brain gets information overload. I also know the cure. I have to shift momentarily to another task. I go back to my laptop and open my blog.

Blogging has been my rescuer on days my brain refuses to work right. After an article or two, I can get back to my task at the office with a little more fervor. Other than the welcome distraction my blog offers, I am also given an opportunity to earn cash with blog advertising. I joined Smorty recently which widened my chances to connect with more advertisers worldwide. I get paid to blog about products, services and websites in various categories. For once, my opinion is worth something more. My skill to concoct and combine words helps advertisers to reach out to more people through the web.

As a matter of fact, there are several more sites bridging the gap between advertisers and bloggers. However, the glut in bloggers in the market has made it difficult to get opportunities. Smorty has given me an alternative source of opportunities. With so many people trying to blog for money, advertising jobs are difficult to grab especially for working people like me. Smorty has proven that having alternatives is better for the industry. Moreover, it drives every player in the field to do better. Inferior service or writing skills are not acceptable. At Smorty, bloggers like me get to choose from a variety of topics and even earn from their referral program. On the other hand, advertisers get more high quality bloggers from Smorty. Smorty assures that its bloggers are screened and evaluated to deliver excellent blog advertising to its customers.

Now, my head feels refreshed and ready for action again. Thanks to my blog. Thanks to Smorty.
