Blogging For Riches.

How many of you have heard of the saying, blogging for riches? If you answered yes to that question, wonderful, you can go read something else now. But if you haven’t heard of it, that means you’re missing out, and I’m here to make sure that you get with it.

Blog is a site where writers, like me and maybe you, read and grab the latest news and of course, publish one or two. And its also a place where you, as a blogger can make a little money by posting different reviews for various advertisers. If you want your blog to start earning some serious money, then you have to start doing paid reviews (although there are other ways), but if you’re still new to the blogging scene its going to be a bit hard to get advertisers to buy directly from you, and that’s why you need to start looking into programs like PayPerPost(PPP).

Reviews
There are two ways that you can make money from writing reviews. The first way is by using PPP direct, and the second is the Marketplace.

PPP direct is a service whereby an advertiser can order a review straight from your blog. Doing things this way has many advantages, the most obvious being that you can set your own price, and it looks cool to have a ‘Hire Me’ banner on your blog. On the downside, its very, very hard for a new blog to get any reviews this way, and when one finally comes in you have to give half of your revenue to PPP, so if you are charging 20 dollars per review you only end up with 10.

The marketplace is a great starting point for any new blogger. Here you can accept offers from many advertisers, so its not dependent on them picking you. Sometimes advertisers place minimum criteria for reviewing blogs, but there are still many offers that a blog with no rank can participate in. This is a great opportunity for you to strut your stuff, if you have a good writing style and ideas of what you will be reviewing, then you might find it much easier to get specifically hired in the future. These offers obviously don’t pay as much as if you were setting your own price, but after all, beggars can’t be choosers.

Register
Registering easy as long as you meet their criteria. To qualify and submit reviews for PayPerPost, you must at least:

1. Have a blog at least 90 days old with minimum 20 post with no gaps over 30 days.
2. All related information (post, widgets and features) must be in English.
3. You have to be prepared to disclose your relationship with PayPerPost.

Once your blog meets these criteria, usually after 4 to 7 days, you can submit your reviews. After thats done you just sit back and wait for your blog to be approved, generally it takes 2 to 3 days for approval.

Affiliate Program
PPP has a great affiliate program that you should use to make even more extra cash. If you sign somebody up without them doing a review you get 15 dollars instead of 7.50 once they get approved. Choose wisely guys.

If you still haven’t signed up for PPP yet, I really suggest that you do that now. The benefits far outway any excuses you might have. If you want some immediate results you might want to start by reviewing one of my posts and getting paid for it. You really have nothing to lose. Believe me, try it.
