As I have mentioned in a previous post, I began writing online as a blogger. I decided I wanted my own little space on the World Wide Web, so I bought a domain name and hosting package, learned how to install WordPress, and off I went! It wasn’t too long before I discovered that others were making money off of their personal blogs by doing sponsored posts. This idea intrigued me, as my husband and I are always in need of a little extra cash!
I began my adventure with a company called Bloggerwave. I am still a member there, but I no longer check the site for new opportunities to make money, as they have not updated in quite a while. Anyways, the only requirement was that my blog was 90 days old, had some content on it (I think it needed 10 original posts?), and was updated regularly. I signed up, and was approved in a couple of days.
When I received my first assignment, I felt like a kid in a candy store! It was unbelieveable that I was going to make $10 (yes, 10 whole dollars!!) writing 100 words about Bloggerwave. I sat down, wrote the post in less than 10 minutes, and submitted the link to it. A month later, I had $10 in my PayPal account. Again, estatic that I had made so much money doing so little!!
I went on to sign up for other sponsored blogging companies, and began making a fairly decent income off of this. I still do it now on a couple of blogs, but only for one company.
The sites I have worked with are in the sidebar…I have been paid by each, so I know they are all legit. I will probably do a review of each one in the future, so that’s something for you to look forward to!
