FIRST OFF, STAY AWAY FROM BLOG AVERTISING STORE- (AKA: PAYING POST)! IT’S A SCAM!

Did you know that you can make a pretty decent living just from blogging a few hours a week?

I was totally new to the scene of blogging about two months ago when I decided I would try to keep in touch with friends, share a few recipes, health/fitness tips and photos of my son who is growing rapidly before my eyes. After some research, I soon realized, “Hey, I could actually make a few bucks doing this.” And for a stay-at-home mom, that sounded amazing and liberating to me. I could definitely use some extra cash throughout the month.

Well let me start off by saying, there are several companies out there that will pay you to write reviews, give your opinion and/or share your thoughts on certain products or website articles. It’s that easy! Now some of these sites like Pay Per Post, Blogsvertise and Blogging Ads make you sit around and wait for companies to come to you. You patiently check your e-mail or log in daily to see if you’ve recieved just ONE lead or opportunity. It’s very discouraging. But I came across Blog Advertising Store (aka Paying Post). Remember, I have done my research and looked into several companies who pay for blogging and I thought this one was the best by far. I signed up, got approved, started blogging and within a couple hours made $34 and quickly over the next couple days I was up to $101. Not too shabby for one weeks work when I also have a 9 month old knocking pictures off the bookshelf and throwing cheerios all over the floor. BUT THEY DON’T PAY YOU! They promise once you reach the $100 threshold you will be paid on the first of the month. One month later, e-mail and discouraged letters daily, and even making contacts with the actually companies I wrote posts for and still no money. One company paid me on their own and even looked into filing a suit against them. Well in the end I was Scamed. They took the money that advertisers owed to me and kept it for themselves. Now they have canceled my account and I will never get my money. But in return, I vowed to kill their name and thier business. I will see an end to this one way or another. This got me even more excited! I actually made money! I mean I actually see dollars in my Paypal account! I’m not saying this is easy money, I do have to put some thought into my writings and actually give an opinion. If you have good, attractive content and follow all the guidelines, most likely they will approve your post and pay your for it. If a stay-at-home mom from podunk Oklahoma can do it, so can you!

One last thing I reccomend is to start marketing your blog through web directories. This will give you higher rankings for search engines and in return bring your more opportunities for paid offers from advertisers. A couple for starters are Yahoo and DMOZ. I hope this information is helpful. Enjoy your journey through the World of Blogging.
