I’ve been investigating various avenues of earning money online. The most satisfying outlet that I have found is blogging for pay. I really like to write sponsored posts. I used to write and dramatize radio advertisements when I had a career in radio (twenty-five years agom now, whoa!). I just love making stories and reviews interesting. Blogging for pay isn’t going to make everyone a millionaire, but it can be lucrative. As for being a millionaire– well, it can happen. Ask John Chow, he’s a millionaire! He’s made his fortune through blogging. But he started way back in 1994!

Anyway, a great new marketplace for blogging and advertising is the new Paying Post. I like them. I recently joined. The marketplace format is very good and very, very organized– after you register, are accepted, and login, you sign in to see available opportunities (called “opps”). Everything is organized and color-coded so you know at a moment’s glance what you can take and what ones you cannot.
Paying Post is free to join, and it’s very easy to submit your blogs. Fill out the form and wait for an acceptance email (it came within a day for me). Why not check it out and see how you can get paid to blog? There’s no fee to join, so you don’t have anything to lose, and you have everything to gain. If you have a blog, this can be a great way of making a little cash on the side. Be sure to read the Terms of Service before signing up.

And on the flip side, this is a terrific venue for advertisers. Advertisers can easily sort through Paying Post’s segmentation options. There’s also an extremely easy to browse listing of bloggers in the Paying Post network, so you can hand-pick your bloggers and get a customized advertisement through them. Studies have shown that it makes sense to advertise on blogs. There is more response, more word-of-mouth, and more linkage boosting when you advertise on blogs.

Paying Post looks like a very up-and-coming blogger/advertiser marketplace. This is one to keep your eye on, and join!
