14 Sponsored Blogging Networks

Author: eL | Files under Make Money

Some of these networks should be well known to everyone but I’ll want to be as detailed as possible when developing this list of paid blogging websites.

  1. PayPerPost
    The largest sponsored blogging network, also known as PPP. Payperpost offers the most quantity of offers and has a lively community of bloggers who support each other through a forum. If you only want to sign up for one paid blogging network, I would highly recommend using PayPerPost above all the others. Why? Because I’ve earn a lot from it. The addition of PayperPost Direct and existing affiliate programs will extend your income potential outside of the basic marketplace structure utilized by most other networks. Once your post(s) has successfully accepted, you will then need to wait 30 days for your payment.
  2. ReviewMe
    ReviewMe is some sort of a blog marketplace, where advertisers visit our blogs to order reviews. Some of the more ‘high-end’ or popular blogs are registered with ReviewMe and the earnings are substantially higher if your blog is well recognized and has a large audience. This is measured by your feed subscription, Technorati and Alexa Rank. Bigger and good blogs have a tendency to earn $100 to $700 for each single blog post and there are a lot less restrictions and rules than Payperpost. The downside for ReviewMe is that they take a hefty 50% commission for their services, which in my opinion is “a lot!”

  3. SponsoredReview
    SponsoredReview is a blog network that is somewhat similar to ReviewMe but they offer a little more functionality by allowing you to negotiate fees with the advertiser and bid for an advertiser’s offers.  SponsoredReview takes 35% commission for their services, a little bit less than what ReviewMe. You can earn anything from $10 to $500 for each review. Their user interface is one of the better ones out there and the only disadvantage of their service is the lack of advertisers.
  4. Blogsvertise
    Blogsvertise doesn’t have a marketplace so you can’t browse through advertiser offers and select what you would like to write about. Blogsvertise will match advertiser offers to your blog profile. Being selected, you have the control to choose accepting or rejecting the offers you gave to you. Usually, the assignments are random and you’ll receive one or two of them every week if you’re lucky. Again, good blogs will always have more advantage. The good side of Blogsvertise is, they paying you on time.

  5. Blogitive
    Blogitive will pay all bloggers a flat rate of USD $5 per advertiser offer, apart from of the size or popularity of the blog. One of the earliest blog networks on the net, Blogitive seems to be gotten into a slump a few months after their launch. They’ve recently revamped their user interface and one of the much touted Blogitive advantages is that they pay weekly via Paypal. Blogitive has a very poor collection of advertisers and that’s something that they definitely need to improve.
  6. LoudLaunch
    LoudLaunch is a medium sized paid blogging network which features a moderate amount of advertiser offers. Your blogs need to be more than 2 months old and payment is only made via Paypal. Like Payperpost, the blogger usually needs to append a disclosure badge, tracker tag or logo or the bottom of posts. The user interface doesn’t appeal to me. Like other networks like Blogsvertise, the range of advertisers seems to be rather limited and small.
  7. BloggerWave
    Based on Norway, BloggerWave’s rates for paid posts are generally around $10 for a single post. There doesn’t seem to be many restrictions and you’ll get paid via Paypal. BloggerWave has been late on payment for many bloggers and some bloggers have gone so far to suggest that they are a scam. Well, the site design may look like scam too. Apparently, they seem to have made good on their payments recently and hopefully things should go smoothly from now on for bloggers who using BloggerWave.
  8. Smorty
    Smorty rates for sponsored blog posts are $6 per post although this might increase if you have a high traffic or popular blog. Post approvals are generally made within a week and payment is made on a weekly basis through Paypal. Sound good, because of the fast payment. There aren’t a lot of advertisers using Smorty at the moment though that might change in the future. I’ve earn a lot from Smorty when they first launched. But, few months later, when they improve a lot, more publishers (blogger) came into Smorty, that’s making more competitors among bloggers.
  9. PayU2Blog
    PayU2Blog started a few months ago and do seem to be a work in progress. There is no actual marketplace which allows you to browse for advertiser offers and they do seem to function very much like Blogsvertise in that that’ll determine the type of assignments you will receive. Payment is made every two weeks via Paypal. Not bad at all!
  10. Blogging Ads
    Blogging Ads started early and recently re-launched with a new look. Not much different from Blogitive, however do take note that you can only put up 10 posts per month on all your blogs and the rate for each post is normally $5. Payment is made weekly via Paypal. Blogging Ads doesn’t have a lot of advertiser offers as well.
  11. Creamaid
    CreamAid is a get paid to blog program with a twist. All bloggers of an option of displaying a widget which allows them to earn referral commission whenever another blogger picks up an offer from it. CreamAid is more fun than the other “get paid to blog” websites although I personally think their financial potential is the weakest. Don’t expect to earn more than $5 for most offers you come across.
  12. V7N Contextual
    V7N Contextual is not technically a get paid to blog network because most of the time you won’t have to write a blog post. All you’ll have to do is to transform any specific keyword (eg. restaurant) in your blog posts into a link to the advertiser’s website. All bloggers will earn $10 per link, regardless of their blog size and reach. Do take note that you’ll have to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which means that you can’t disclose that it was a sponsored link. Don’t count on getting too many assignments.
  13. LinkWorth
    LinkWorth is a search engine marketing company that offers a variety of monetization options for bloggers. For example, bloggers can sell contextual links within posts or write sponsored posts on specific topics. Other interesting methods include rotating ads, in content PPC advertising as well as packaged link ads. LinkWorth gives up to 70% of the revenue for its ads and payments are made monthly through Paypal, cheque, direct deposit or wire transfer.
  14. Dewitts Media
    Dewitt Media is a search marketing and website design company that’s recently launched a contextual links program. Your blogs need to have a minimum Google Page Rank of 3 before they will be accepted. Rates are set at $10 per post. Like V7N, Dewitt Media requires you to sign a Non Disclosure agreement, which forbids you from disclosing that any specific link or blog post was sponsored. There is currently no marketplace with advertiser offers though a forum might be forthcoming.

You can sign up to any (or all) of these to increase your profits but the big disadvantage is that they will ask you to post some crappy advertiser article with 2 or more links to some site that you don’t want anywhere near your blog. Extreme usage of these programs may lead in dropping your SERP. If your site goes to lower most of these programs will deny you any chance of continuing your profits with them and you lose everything at this point. So my advice is, you must write your own post beside sponsor post review.
