Blog Monetization – Getting Paid to Review
Posted by David Wiltshire on January, 6th 2009Sponsored review programs, or paid review programs, are another extremely popular way to earn money with your blog posts. I use sponsored review programs to earn money and to get ideas for new, quality, content when writers block creeps up on me. These programs allow blog owners to sign up, register their blog, and then review a variety of websites. Each review usually consists of a neutral, or positive, overview of the website paying for the review, along with up to three links to the sponsors’ website. Some of the most popular paid to review programs are:
Blogvertise: http://www.blogsvertise.com
Blogger Wave: http://www.bloggerwave.com
Blog Ads: http://bloggingads.com
Blog to Profit: http://www.blogtoprofit.com
Link Worth: http://www.linkworth.com
Linky Love Army: http://www.linkylovearmy.com
Loud Launch: http://www.loudlaunch.com
Pay Per Post: http://www.payperpost.com
Review Me: http://www.reviewme.com
Sponsored Reviews: http://sponsoredreviews.com/
These programs are all a great source of revenue paying bloggers anywhere from $5.00 to $500.00 per review. Those blogs that are established with steady traffic are going to make more money per review than a smaller, new bog. This is a great money maker for those blog owners who are only hoping to pay for hosting aka break even. However, you have a great blog and time to post you can make an impressive income with these programs. I make, on average, $100 per week with paid review opportunities.
Currently my favorite programs to use are Payu2Blog, Sponsored Review, and Blogitive. They all offer a steady source of income, especially during certain times of year. During the holiday season I easily made $50.00 per day using these programs, and all of the products and sites being reviewed interested my readers. Essentially I got paid to provide great information
Sponsored Reviews is the highest paying of the sites that I write paid reviews for, but that is because there is often a great deal of effort that goes into creating each review. The advertisers place their requests on the sites marketplace and each reviewer bids for the assignment. Usually the advertiser rejects or accepts the bid in a matter of days. The advertiser show’s what they are willing to pay for the review, which can be anywhere from $5.00 to $200.00. Sponsored Reviews takes a percentage of this payment and sends the rest to the reviewer via Paypal.

Posted by Make Money Online on 08 Jan 2009I am a member of several of these sites and it is true that you can make quite good money doing paid reviews. One word of warning though, if you have a good PR and would like to keep it then I suggest you forget this avenue because if the Google people find out they will Google Slap you like you wouldn’t believe.Sire’s last blog post..Sire’s ‘Ice Breaker’ Pick Up Line
Posted by Sire on 09 Jan 2009I used to beleive that until my other blog with 95% paid posts on it went from a pr1 to a pr3 at the last update.
Posted by admin on 09 Jan 2009Perhaps they haven’t noticed it yet. I have two blogs that were PR4 and they are now both PR0 and have not changed for the last three updates. I also know of other bloggers who are complaining of the same thing. I will continue to do reviews as they pay so well. I have started some new blogs that are now PR3 and two at PR2, but I won’t do paid reviews on them until I get it a bit higher. At least that way I can maximize my profits before the big Google Slap. :DSire’s last blog post..Allowing Commentators To Edit Their Comments
Posted by Sire on 09 Jan 2009They will have noticed it as its 2 years old. Its like a lot of other things Google slams websites for not everybody gets slammed.
Posted by admin on 09 Jan 2009In that case it proves my assumption that Google just plain old hates me. ;) That’s cool, because it’s given me some material for posts on my blogs where I sort of poke fun at Google :DSire’s last blog post..Sire’s ‘Ice Breaker’ Pick Up Line
