BLOGVERTISE -- It PAYS to follow instructions! at Saturday, June 28, 2008

I think it would be very appropriate to only write about the sites which have actually paid me through my PayPal account. It sucks when sometimes you try a program and don't get opportunities. Worse, there are hundreds of scams out there that make you create buzz for an advertiser and when it comes to paying the dues, they simply disappear or just ignore you.

BLOGVERTISE is one of those genuine sites that actually pay bloggers for their posts. You can sign up here. Basically, this is how it works: You add a blog and they would look for advertisers who would pay for you to write something about their product. However, the page rank is a huge basis for assignments as well as the pricing for each post. A blog with no page rank would less likely to receive assignments than a blog with Page rank 3 and above.

A 'grab bag' will appear on your blog list. It contains a list of all the opportunities you can take. You may only take ONE opportunity per day. Since May 2008, I've started getting assignments on a regular basis. It helps to work on getting more hits and also writing good quality content on your blog.

Once you grab a task, you are given a specific amount of time to work on it. You can write about anything as long as it's 2-3 paragraphs long, you mention the required link words, unless the advertiser requires you to do something else. The instructions will always be emailed to you once a task is grabbed.

They pay after 30 days from the time the post is approved. This is to ensure that the post is not removed by the blogger.

Here's a screenshot of a payment they've sent me:
