Blog For Money

I know there are many bloggers out there who love to write and must often wonder to themselves "if only I could get paid to blog." Most bloggers write because they love to write and don't necessarily need to earn added income. Still, I wanted to learn more about it.

I was browsing around the internet looking for content for this blog and came cross Smorty.com. Normally, I just bounce over get paid for blogging sites however Smorty seemed a little different. First, the site is clean and easy to navigate around. It explains clearly what and who they are and what they expect of bloggers. Though it can get a little caught up in web-based jargon that can confuse a novice such as “anchor texts” but fortunately this is kept to a bare minimal.

If the bare minimal is confusing Smorty can indeed be contacted for any questions or concerns you may have. I sent two emails and received quick, professional responses. Overall, the language is simple enough to capture a bloggers attention to understand Smorty’s business mission.

What is that mission? Smorty aims to be “a bridge” between advertisers and bloggers. More importantly for bloggers, Smorty pays anywhere between $6 and $60 per posts. Do the math. That’s not bad just to write an opinion.

Conversely, blog advertising is available on Smorty for anyone looking to expose and market their companies and services. Advertisers looking to begin a campaign can set up and be linked to bloggers for write ups.

What I found intriguing personally about Smorty is that if you’re planning or just getting started in web copy or advertising, Smorty can be used a resource to practice and sharpen your skills. For bloggers concerned about mixing in ad writing within the content of their blog you may want to think about this as the ads must permanently remain on your site among your posts.

Other than that check out the rules and explanations, weigh your options and make your own decision.
