Whether you blog for fun or purposely blog for money, you probably want new ways to monetize your blog. There are many ways to get paid for blogging. Today I want to tell you about Smorty.
Smorty is a service that will pay you to make posts on your blog about other websites. The advertisers on Smorty pay to advertise on blogs because they want hype and publicity.
You still get to post your regular blog posts. When you want to earn some extra money, you just go to Smorty and look through the available offers. You do not have to accept any offers, so you never have to blog about anything. Also, when you accept an offer, you still get to write the blog post. This way your blog is still yours and still only contains your opinions.
I have already used Smorty and received a payment from them. Overall, it took about 10 days for me to receive the payment for the blog post after I posted it. The payments are made by PayPal. No PayPal fees were taken out of my payment, which is an added bonus.
Any way to get paid to blog is good, but be careful when using blog advertising services. You don’t want to turn your blog into one big ad collection, or else you will lose your readers.
