Bloggers needed as influencers and brand ambassadors.

After a long time, I am happy to blog about an opportunity for bloggers who want to earn money by blogging.

The blogs have replaced many a media as the best mode to advertise. About 11 years ago when I started getting paid to blog, little-known brands only were active sponsors but the scenario has changed completely. Now, world’s leading brands are hiring bloggers to act as influencers or brand ambassadors for their products.

Since they cannot filter bloggers on their won from a billion blogs, they tie up with a blog marketing company with whom bloggers have registered their blogs and the blogs’ metrics are measured and stored in their database which is exposed to the advertisers who can now easily choose a blog that meets their expectation.

Blog Meets Brands is one such middle man (why not a middle woman?) that acts as an ideal platform for advertisers and bloggers to meet for mutual benefit.

How Does Blog Meets Brand Benefit Bloggers?

Well, as with any other blog marketing company, Blog Meets Brand allows bloggers with access to paid blogging opportunities.  

Blog Meets Brand is free for bloggers. Obviously, advertisers have to pay to browse through the blogs that are listed with the company.

Influencer campaigns are also known as blogging assignments are posted by the advertisers. As such every campaign is different. A blogger is selected based on a number of different metrics. When your blog is assigned a campaign, Blog Meets Brand will send you an email alert informing you of the assignment. If you are not interested in a campaign invitation, just hit the decline button.

Payment.

The payment is paid through PayPal but the only glitch that I personally would avoid is the 45 days period. Blog Meets Brands will release the payment only after 45 days of the end date of the campaign. I think it is not fair. When a blog post is approved, the payment should be released provided the advertiser has paid the full campaign budget to the middle man.

37 paid to blog networks for probloggers.

OMG, I did not realize my absence from the problogging scene nearly kept me dark, especially about the new players that hire influence marketers/probloggers.  I must  spend quality time again, browsing aimlessly as always and blog more often.

As I had a lot of time to kill today before the one day cricket match begins, I was going through my curated content for this blog. My attention was drawn to the list of paid blogging opportunities that I collected and I chose the one below for you all.

Out of this 37 sites that offer money to bloggers for their content, only a handful are known to me. I wish you make use of the list by either participating or by sharing. Oh, you can do both and that would make you a useful blogger like me. (smile)

What is the exact work?

The actual blogging involves a review of a product or service of those above mentioned niches. Once you register your blog with Bloggers Required, it is exposed to advertisers and they select the blogs on which a review is required to be posted.

I have seen the best FAQs posted in the site.

Want to earn $50 to $100 per guest post?

Only yesterday I was talking to my friend Nirmala Santhakumar, the author of http://mymagicfundas.com about the demand that I noticed for blog posts and articles by feelancers.

Now, just a few minutes ago, I stumbled onto a resource that pay $50 to $100 per guest blog post. Since that pay is very big, obviously, very standard is expected from freelance bloggers.

The topics on which the demand for articles are:
 Market reports
SCAM reports
Blogging
and many more

Now, I am going to do a little experiment.  Before revealing the source for earning $50 to $100 per blog post,  I want to find out how many people read this blog post.

If you want to know who pays that much per bog post, please comment on this blog post with your name and email; I will email you the source URL. I promise not to store your email. You will never hear from me after you receive my email only once.

Deal?

Paid to blog opportunities in your Inbox.

Do you want to blog what ever you want and get paid for it?
Or can you blog about something that is given to you and offered compensation?

I know you would say "YES" and "YES". but you are likely to reject the idea of searching for such paid to blog opportunities daily in the Internet; you are too busy.

I understand. I too was like that a few years before.  Ok, how about getting information about new 'paid to blog' opportunities as and when they arise in you Inbox? Won't you like it?

What kind of blogging assignment you are likely to get?
Here is an example:
"UK bloggers needed to review the World famousTri-Blade Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer."

How to Get Free Products to Review on Your Blog.

Have you always wondered how other review bloggers write excellent reviews of products as if they actually bought and used them? I will let you in a secret. They never buy products to review; they get them free.!

Yes, absolutely free! Product samples are sent to bloggers free of cost and in return, they are expected to write a honest review supported by images of the products.

How bloggers are chosen to give free products that may include a digital information product, a physical product such as cookies, candies, cosmetics and so on?

Do the bloggers advertise their reviewing services and get for free products? If so, are there any particular places in the web to offer such services?

Are there middlemen that connect review bloggers with manufacturers and dealers?

Answers:
 No, there are no special places to advertise review services. Bloggers use their blogs to show their reviewing skill.  They collect their blog traffic details and publish them on their blog visibly. Their published reviews are then measured for the popularity in social media.

For example, a blog post that is published should show how many tweets and retweets it has received, how many people liked and shared it on their Facebook and Google plus and so on. If a blog post can show proudly the strength of social signal it has got, then, they are noticed by manufacturers and dealers and they choose such blogs and send product samples free.

Some bloggers write reviews of products that they bought just to exhibit their blogging skill. It is a good way to start one's review blogging skill.

Review blogging:
Review blogging is now a full time job for thousands of bloggers and they are paid big money for their services. In addition, product reviews are rated by websites and if your review is rated among top 5 or top 10, then consider yourself a success.

Re-write reviews to earn money.
Some people though are good writers do have staring problem. They do not know how to begin writing a review. However, if you give them a sample review article, they will quickly re-write it to make it much better than the original article.

Do you want to try that route of re-writing reviews to earn money blogging?

Bloggers hired by NBC!

Earning money blogging is now history. There are thousands of bloggers who earn a full time income by blogging. I too join the list.

Self confident bloggers can apply for this post. I think most of the experienced sports bloggers would be eager to be a part of NBC. What a boost it will give to their career!

I think NBC is a bit late in hiring bloggers if this is their first recruitment drive for bloggers. Some very big corporate names have their own web writers. Bloggers hired by such big companies would be loving their job, the pay they get and also enjoy their freedom.

I read in a website that NBCLA.com is looking for a proven sports blogger and diehard Dodger fan to help us launch a dynamic new blog about all things Dodgers. If` you are a reliable self-starter and can crank out 2-3 crisp, insightful posts a day, please send your resume, links to blog posts and a brief cover letter describing why this position is right for you.

Post Joint-review.Get paid to blog.

I was recommended highly to join Post Joint, a blogger and advertiser meeting place. To put it in familiar words, Post Joint pays you money to blog.

Earning money with Post Joint seemed to easy as it works differently from other 'get-paid-to-blog' opportunities in the Internet such as Pay per post or Review Me.

I applied two of my blogs that have Google PR3. Both got rejected.

Try your luck mate. http://www.postjoint.com/

Photography bloggers hired.

A very close of friend of mine alerted me long ago that he is going to make career of his photography talent by launching his photography blog. However, I have never heard after that declaration. In this blog, I keep writing about professional blogging opportunities that I come across and some of my earlier blog posts would have covered the subject line.

Here is one more lead to my friend and all others who are looking to capitalize their photo capturing skills and make some money off their expensive cameras.

Savage Universal Corporation is on the hunt for a photographer with superb writing and editing skills. The person hired would be contribution to the company's blog.

Savage Universal Corporation  has been manufacturing photography related products for the past 60 years. .

I quote from their ad:
"We are looking for original, well-written blog posts that will engage readers with insight and valuable information relating to photography techniques, tips & tricks and our studio equipment......"

Why bloggers are struggling to make money.

I don't know why bloggers are struggling to make money. Wait! I am only addressing those who have talked to me that their blogs are not fetching them not even a $100 per month. I know it is possible but it certainly requires hell of a lot of learning and work.

I have offered a simple solution to many budding bloggers who aspire to earn a full time income from blogging. They can just buy a readymade blog that looks absolutely professional and can fetch them money in U.S. dollars in three ways.

Pre-built readymade PLR blogs are sold on various niches and all you have to do is re-write the PLR artcles that are loaded in the blogs and start promoting! I think the promotion part of it seems to hold them.

Blogging pays but if people are not interested in blog promotion work, then, they can look elsewhere to earn; Internet is not the right place for them.

If this makes some sense and if you made up your mind to buy a ready-made blog on a hot niche, please read this blog post titled, "Readymade paid surveys niche blog for sale."

Blogging money for Indian moms and dads.

The residents of Madras woke up on Sunday the 25th March 2012 to money earning opportunities through blogging and socializing through online social media like Twitter and Facebook.

The news item in Times Of India should have caught the newbies by surprise but not the veterans like me who are already making money by blogging, tweeting and Facebook wall postings.

Long since, I was expecting someone from the Indian news media to expose the online money opportunities and though it is belated, I am glad Priya Menon (link at the end of this blog post) took the initiative.

I have been an Internet journalist approved by Reserve Bank of India. Time and again, I have blogged about the potential to earn money by blogging and microblogging.

It is heartening to note that even Indian corporate houses have realized the great potential to market their products through blogs and social media. The TOI article says, " More companies across India are roping in people like Narayanan who are active on social media to tweet, blog and post comments on networking sites about products and services."

If Indian moms, dads, students and internet buffs are interested in making money online to substantiate their monthly income, they should first learn the unknown methods of becoming popular (influencer) in social media giants like Twitter and Facebook.

There is big money to be made as:
* News Blogger
* Review blogger
* Beauty and Fashion blogger
* Hot Trends blogger

Don't think only Twitter and Facebook offer the best of money making opportunities. Google plus has plunged into the big race and would soon finish first. Making money using Google + is going to be a hot trend if not already.

Earn money by placing text link ads.

Once again I stumbled onto a new money earning opportunity through blogs. Who said pro-blogging days are thinning out?

Look at this web site Linkvehicle.com
The site is a marketplace for bloggers and advertisers. Bloggers can earn money by placing text advertisements on their blogs and also by writing about advertisers' products or services in their blogs.

Money by placing text link ads
Bloggers can either allow the ads to be placed automatically through a script or choose to place them manually. The payment share is only 50% of the revenue received by Link Vehicle from the advertisers who bought the ad space.

Money by writing reviews
Bloggers are paid for writing 200 word blog post. The number of links inside the blog post is decided by the advertiser. The price per blog post is set by you subject to approval by the advertiser. A tricky one for beginners to the pro-blogging world.

I always set my price and never compromise on it.

Click on the 'marketplace' tab to know how other bloggers have set their price based on the pagerank of their blogs.

Spread the word plaese!

How to develop a money making blog.

Today morning, I was forwarded a link in email which when I clicked on, took me to web page that asked me only 30 minutes a day to get a money making blog.

Just 30 minutes a day? Man, I have been slogging for more than 4 hours a day maintaining and updating my 14 blogs and I hardly have a handful of them making money!

Ask me what blog promotion avenues I have not tried. You name and I can fill you in with hours and hours of my experience to promote my blogs.
* Submission to blog directories, RSS feed directories and blogging communities
* Participating in most of the bloggers forum and IM forums
* Guest blogging
* Hosting blog carnivals
* Blog commenting
* Social media marketing

Above all, thus far I have composed more than 5000 blog posts that are 100% unique since I started blogging in 2005!

The one important aspect of blog marketing is writing with high search volume keywords which can guarantee a full time income with just one blog.

I know how to do keyword research. I am just too lazy to apply my knowledge in keyword analysis.

Attention pro bloggers who want to earn money by blogging!

This a very low paying blog marketing company. The payments per blog post starts at $0.50 ! I saw some featured opportunities on the home page of http://www.bidpostblog.com/index.php. The highest paid blog posting job pays only $2

It is a Florida based company; apart from that, there is no information about the owners.

The minimum payout is $20 which I believe would take long for even their top blogger named Rajesh to get it. As a top blogger, he has earned a whopping $3 this month.

You can add up to 5 blogs of yours which is an encouraging sign.

Hey, do you know that bidpostblog.com also pays through Liberty Reserve?

Sign up if you are interested.

A site that hires bloggers, pay up to $10 per blog post

A site that hires blogger pay up to $10 per blog post. After reading this title, I dug up more and followed the trail. I kept reading so many money earning opportunities for bloggers through more attention pulling titles some of which I reproduce below:

* If you are ready to complete a blogging assignment in 48 hours, you can sign up to receive paid blogging assignments.

* If you are a mom blogger from the United States and if you already blogging, how about earning money for the traffic your blog attracts?

* Would you like to earn $17 plus per blog post of 500 words?

I have no time to list out all that I read regarding sites that hire bloggers. If you care to share your encounters with similar sites, please post it in the comments box.

Thank you in advance.

A review of Blog Distributor.

Has anyone had any success with Blog Distributors? Only yesterday I stumbled on to https://www.blogdistributor.com/ and wondered why it did not come to my attention till then!

It is probably not a favorite among my fellow pro-bloggers. The site does not have any information about the owners though it has published its full street address.

I believe bloggers can submit their blogs of lower page rank too. Blog Distributor gives just 48 hours to complete a task but they pay only once in a month which might put of several bloggers who are used to get their payment in one or two weeks.

A review (http://www.toasteggme.com/index.php/money-making-opportunities-site/get-paid-to-blog-at-blog-distributor/) of Blog Distributor said that only U.S. and Canada bloggers are accepted though I did not find it in the FAQ of the site.

What I like about the site is you only need to a write a 100 words review to get paid.

49 sites that hire bloggers.

I should have posted an article titled, "Another get paid to blog site" in this blog instead of my Income Opportunities blog.

Income Opportunities blog receives more visitors than this blog and that was the reason I first posted in it.

Link from Blog is new to me and so might be to several probloggers who make full time income by blogging.

With this, the list of sites that hire bloggers has gone up to 49. This is apart from several marketplaces for bloggers to get paid blogging assignments.

Though there is a slight sluggishness in this field at present, I foresee brighter days for probloggers.

How I make money by blogging?

Come on, don't assume I am going to reveal something new to make money online. I am doing only all other internet entrepreneurs are doing.

I blog for fun and money. I get paid through:
* Adsense
* Ghost blogging
* Affiliate sales
* Offering blogging consultancy
* Offering off site SEO services

While these are the major avenues that bring me money, I also train people to learn blogging. That is where my major income comes from.

Next comes ghost blogging which sometimes leads to blog sitting, a boring job but still pays.

I admit I don't make big money through affiliate sales though I know its full nuances. I lack effort in that area.

Offering my SEO services is recently added. I like that work and I am good at it.

Full time automative blogger wanted.

If you are here after reading the headline, then, I have more such headlines for you. To be exact, I have 50 more headlines that interest bloggers who want money for their blogging skill and knowledge.

Yes, there 51 new blogging jobs are posted in the about.com forum. Do you read the articles by Susan Gunelius? She writes for About.com. Do I need to tell more? I love her articles and links for bloggers. She is to good at her work.

She just now has posted an article about 51 new jobs for bloggers and the title for this blog, "Full time automotive blogger wanted" was found almost at the end of the list of 51 blogging jobs.

Here are some more as samples:
* Food critic blogger
* Write for Green Life Style
* Blog article writer needed for personal finance sector
