Being Paid to Blog

While browsing websites devoted to online writing jobs, I came across an ad from Today.com promising to pay you to maintain a blog. The pay rate is $1 per one 100 word post a day, plus .002 cents per impression. You can also make money from referring others to blog for today.com as well via an affiliate program.

$30 a month, plus possibly a bit more on top, to write 100 words a day doesn't sound bad to me (right now, at least, given my current income from writing online is zero!). So I signed up to blog about an online game that I often play - a topic which I thought I would find fun to write about, and should have an instant audience of some size (I'm hoping at least a few other gamers will check it out).

When I originally filled out the online application for a website and hit enter, I got a message saying that due to high demand it might take up to 30 days for me to hear a reply. That was a bit disappointing, but only an hour later I received a reply saying I had been approved for a blog. One thing I did do while filling out my application was write a nice paragraph about the unique audience I think my blog might interest - perhaps that helped speed up the review process.

I'll keep readers posted on earnings from this source to see how it pans out. They promise to pay by paypal, but will only pay once you have earned $50 from them - so it looks like it will be the beginning of December before I actually have money in the bank (or paypal at least) from them.
