RELIABLE SOURCES OF BLOGGING INCOME

My past two posts were all negative and I have just realized that there is a need to reaffirm my declaration that there are a lot of reliable and legal online money making opportunities.

A few weeks ago, I posted my six (6) sources of blogging income and at this point, I am very happy with five. It is only with Bloggerwave that I have not received payment for my only sponsored post. All the rest have consistently paid me regularly and I have been doing this for several months already.

Here is my list, once more. I am currently trying a new program and will write a review in this site, soon.

1. Payu2blog (received payments already)
   
2. Payperpost (received payments already)
3. Sponsored Reviews(received payments already)
4. Smorty (received payments already)
   
5. Blogsvertise (received 1st payment already) -- just 1 day delayed

BLOGGERWAVE: Won't recommend this.. at least, NOT YET!

Before I enlisted with Bloggerwave, I've read a number of bloggers complaining about the site's delinquency. After that, Bloggerwave posted an announcement apologizing for the delays in payments which they blame in some back room errors and start up/ growing pains.

I even posted a copy of that statement in this site.

About a month after, I enlisted with the program and did one paid post (July 2007). Until now, I am YET TO GET PAID.

At this point, they have reformatted the site's layout and I am unable to login to my account. Whenever I click on the "FORGET PASSWORD?" link, the site simply loads back the login page.

There may still be some growing pains being experienced by the company but they have to do something about it ---really fast! The very least that they can do is to reply to our complaints. At this point, my impression is that the site is in such a big mess.

At this point, I would say that Bloggerwave is an example of a business model that entrepreneurs should not emulate.

Until, they have responded to my complaint (sent through the site) or acted on my unpaid post, this article will remain here.

Trying out Blogitive and I am NOT very Happy!

Apologies for the long absence. I have been busy trying out new ways to make legitimate home based income. So far, I have been successful. My income from blogging is already equivalent to a decent professionals salary and it continues to grow as I get more efficient in managing my time.

At this point, I am trying Blogitive and was able to get my blogs approved. By the way, I am yet to really monetize this site. Blogitive is a program that pays bloggers US$5.00 to write a 100 words editorial review of an advertiser's press release. In addition, a link to the advertiser's website is embedded in the article through a keyword.

One setback with this program (which I have not encountered with the good sites) is their slow response rate to technical problems.

I posted a review that refused to be accepted by the site due to an alleged absence of a required link. I triple checked my article and crossed checked it with other blogs that did the same campaign and found my post satisfactory. I wrote the site administrators to report the problem and an automatic reply system promised immediate resolution to my problem. At this point, my opportunity for that post expired and I am yet to hear from the site. The campaign has now "Expired" and there's a red mark on my account. If there was something wrong with my post, they should be good enough like Payperpost to tell you what the problem with your post was.

Prior to that, it took Blogitive several days to review and approve my site. I found that forgivable considering that they have just reformatted their site. What I find a little odd is that until now, they are offering incentives to bloggers can refer other blogs to enlist with them but it took several days before I found a posting opportunity in my account.

Hmmnnn...

This is where I make money online

This is an update to the post below.

I already got my first payment from sponsored reviews.

Blogging for money really works.

I hope to inspire you, my dear readers, that you can actually make decent income online.

Blog On!!!!

THIS IS WHERE I MAKE MONEY ONLINE

Apologies for the absence, dear readers.

As previously mentioned, this site is where I store the leads that I pursue. As an outsourcing consultant, I use the job opportunities listed here in helping BPO firms look for business. I also use the same leads in helping people find their suitable employers.

As a businessman, I use the same leads to great effect. During free time, I also get paid as a blogger (not in this site). This is where some of my blogging income comes from:

1. Payu2blog (received payment already)
   
2. Payperpost (received payment already)
3. Sponsored Reviews(waiting for the first payment)
4. Bloggerwave (STILL WAITING for the first payment) - 29 August 2007
   
5. Smorty (received payment already)
   
6. Blogsvertise (received payment already) -- just 1 day delayed
   

Please stay tuned. I will be posting regular updates. I have other sources of online income and it will be featured soon.
