In my three years of blogging, I have learn a bit here and there about making some "extra pocket money" online. When I started my blog in January 2008, little did I know that blogs can generate some income, if I have known earlier, I would have started long ago since I am the "stay-at-home" type... (ahem....)
Through blog hopping in the middle of 2008, I get to know of these money-making websites listed below.... but before you jump in and register, do have this in mind. Once you write paid posts regularly, your page ranking might be affected.... there are certain websites that Mr. Google can trace to you and after that, you might cry out ... "OH... my PR4 has gone down to 0!!"
So... you see, there are pro and cons if you want to do paid posts in your blog.... my son Andy is very reluctant to do in the beginning, he told me that the paid posts spoils his blog, not personal anymore... but now, he is more money-minded, he writes them without me persuading to....
Back to my story.... I started off humbly with these websites... a mere $3-5usd could sparkle some excitement in my life then, in 2008, $1usd = RM3.40.... The online money making websites are as below...
Payperpost.com - those days I stayed up to "grab" them... nowadays, new version, no need to grab, just register and wait for them to offer you....
Socialspark.com - again, this has a new version nowadays, register yourself and wait to be "offered" tasks...
Infolinks.com - same as the above, register and wait for opportunities to come...
From what I know, these three websites above can sort of "affect" your page ranking so it is up to you whether you mind or not...
Sponsoredreviews.com - I still love to bid for these opportunities, bid and sit back and wait....
their payment comes every two weeks... but nowadays, they want a 50/50 sharing. So for example, if you bid $20.00, you will get $10.00 if advertiser likes you.
Linkworth.com - this one also offers 70/30 sharing, once you reach $25.00, you can request payment. They pays for banners too if they like your blog.
buyblogreviews.com - I don't bid for this one nowadays, they offer very low prices, $3-5usd only...for beginners, you might like to earn something here.
payu2blog.com - I love this one cos for 60 words, you will be paid $5.00. At times they pay $7.00 for 60 words.... just a few lines and you are $5 richer... hahaha...
blogtoprofit.com - I am doing this too but they do not give often. Once awhile... they give you 3 tasks in a row. Pays regularly too.
Er.... what else.... I guess that is about all... my paid posts are mainly consisting of the last two websites. Well, they might be peanuts to you but for me, it is something worthwhile doing... own efforts, own sweat blood money! hahahaa....
If you have any others besides the above websites, hope you can share them here in my comments sheet. I would love to learn and earn .... some extra income is good for our family, right?

Well done, Claire!! And thanks lots for sharing. I have been having too much fun cooking, eating and selling if possible. Didn't really thought of making money from blog.

ReplyDeleteI have thought about doing paid posts before but could not bear to do lose the pagerank so decided not to haha! And just like your son, I also think the paid posts will spoil my blog. Oh well, if I really want to do it one fine day, maybe I will start a new blog LOL!

This is good information for all of us to know! I have never really paid much attention to your sidebar, but I was looking at it just now. Gosh, you have almost 500 followers!!! I myself have wondered how you stay so thin and cute with all the amounts of food you wallop!!!! I had figured you are just one of the lucky ones who have a good metabolism and don't gain weight no matter what you eat. My son is like that, but I mostly see it in men.
ReplyDeleteoh, i've been wondering where do these guys get to write paid posts, thanks for the info and you have answered me very well.. hmmm, although the money sound quite enticing, but then i think i'm still not yet interested in writing any reviews for the paid post.. affecting the PR?? hmmm, that's not good.. but for me never mind lah, very low ranking won't have much effect also, haha~~
ReplyDeleteI am still blurr on these extra income offers. I should consider this since I want early retirement.
ReplyDeleteI just earn a little from Nuffnang and Churp-churp

ReplyDeleteHave you heard that Nuffnang Malaysia has been hacked? I wonder whether/how the Nuffnangers will be affected...
