Paid blog posting is quite hot these days with a number of paid posting services and agencies launched and getting popular very quickly. This enables the bloggers to earn some extra revenue out of their quality blogs apart from the revenues from other sources such as contextual advertising, selling text links and affiliate revenue. Bloggers get paid for posting about a topic set by the advertiser and gets paid. Not only this, the blog content increases organically!

Also, this is a new and proving to be quite an effective marketing tool for businesses and marketing agencies these days. It not only does benefit advertisers to create buzz and generate viral traffic, but also enhance Search Engine ranking and gain PageRank. In the end, both parties benefit - advertisers as well as bloggers.

The purpose of my post is to list a few of such Paid Blog Posting Services which an established blogger can benenit from.

ReviewMe : One of the costliest blog posting services (to advertisers) offering 50% share of revenue. Advertisers browse the marketplace and choose blogs to get posts from. Blogs are ranked by a robot and bloggers are notified once there are some assignments pending for them. PayPal option available.

V7N Contextual : Offers $10 per blog post assignment. Control panel not yet ready, but fully operational. Offers payments by PayPal.

PayPerPost : Fully functional and perhaps the most popular paid blog posting service today. Requires quality blogs with good PR and alexa traffic rank in addition to a fully functional archive by date and atleast 20 posts in last 90 days. Opportunities are floated by advertisers and bloggers choose from them. PayPal payout option available. Offers 65% revenue share. Highly Recommended.

BloggingAds : Still in beta. Current payout is $5 per post. Offers payments by PayPal.

SponsoredReviews : A venture of 360 Enterprises, the owner of TextLinkBrokers. Registration is open, but still in beta.

Manual Option : Bloggers can also visit several webmaster forums and post paid blog posting offers in the marketplace subforum if available. Set your prices wisely, lower prices attract more clients.

Some Info :

Most services require quality and aged blogs which are maintained well and have traffic. Some require a minimum number of posts before approval. It’s indeed useless to start a blog today just for paid posting…cause many require a certain ratio between normal and paid posts. Also, some services make it mandatory to disclose in some way that the post is sponsored so that the visitor doesn’t think it’s completely the blogger’s own voice or outlook for a particular product.

I think paid blog marketing has good potential currently and in the future cause it has proven to be a good marketing concept. Bloggers write in their own way…so fully organic and unique content. And they get paid for what they love doing - blogging!
