I love writing. My dream is to someday be able to support myself solely through writing. That’s what makes the blog phenomenon so exciting for me. Sure, right now I’m focusing just as much on advertising as I am on actually writing articles for the blog. But hopefully I’ll eventually have traffic and advertising running on auto-pilot and I’ll be able to really concentrate on the writing. One thing I’m really interested in is joining (free to bloggers!) sites that pay you to write about advertisers, products and other sites. One of these sites is Blogsvertise.
I’m not new to blogging (you can see Nuclear Nonsense for my last blog-ish endeavor), but this is the first time I’ve looked at it as a serious way to make money. Though I’m not new, Pajama Professional is. And because it’s so new, it’s hard to get accepted by pay-per-post type sites. I understand the logic behind this. The two main concerns would be: will a new blog stick around and generate enough traffic to make the advertiser’s money worth it. I hope that – unlike other sites who won’t even look at new blogs – Blogsvertise will give me a shot.
A great opportunity for advertisers, Blogsvertiseallows companies of all types, regardless of their level of internet savvy, to reach the huge community of those who frequent and create blogs. This is a corner of the market that advertisers can no longer afford to ignore and Blogsvertise allows them to get the exposure they need in the best way possible. They’re not just placing ads on a blog site, they are becoming a part of the blog itself. This type of advertising is invaluable and will only become more important as blogs further integrate themselves into the daily lives of 21st century citizens.
But isn’t this selling out? You ask. Isn’t a blog about expressing your own views and the freedom to say whatever you want? It sure is. And Blogvertiserespects this. When you are given an advertiser to write an article about, you can freely express your opinions. The advertiser has to approve your article before payment, so a complete bash-piece probably isn’t the best tactic for getting paid, but you are not in any way expected to create a glowing valentine for every topic about which you write.
Compensation varies, but – for most bloggers – you’re going to write anyway. You may as well supplement some of your costs and time with Blogsvertise assignments. You also may be exposed to some sites and services that you find useful. The entire relationship is essentially a win-win situation for everyone involved. For anyone who is serious about blogging, I highly recommend signing up with Blogsvertise.
