Make some additional cash by writing posts.

If You have a blog it is obvious, that You like sharing your thoughts and opinions with others right? What if someone pays You for doing that? Think about it – writing about Your favourite film/book/restaurant or any other thing You like, telling Your honest review to world and getting paid for that? “Impossible” you say, well it is not :) .

Ever heard of Paid Per Post? It is a affiliate program focusing directly on bloggers. They search for people who have some products, and need some popularity and gives You the opportunity to review this product, tell everyone, who is visitng Your blog what You think about some product – You can recommend it, dislike it and even then – You’ll be paid. Good for us, bloggers right?

I was a bit skeptical, but joined and I do not regret it. A lot of offers, quick and reliable payments, which are made via Paypal after 30 days of writing a post. This is required, because after 30 days, Pay Per Post checks Your blog for this post, make sure it is still there and is not modified in any kind of way.

So I’d like You to see some details about Pay Per Post blog requirements to join:

1. Blogs Only: PayPerPost only accepts blogs, and not websites, message boards, e-mails, IM or other similar services.
2. English Only Blogs:The blog and all posts relating to PayPerPost Opportunities must be in the English language or such other language as is identified in the particular Opportunity.
3. Original Blog Content:The blog must contain original editorial content in addition to Opportunity-related or other paid posts. Blogs that exist primarily for payment will not be accepted.
4. Minimum Blog Age:logs must be live for a minimum of thirty (30) days, counted from the date of the blog’s first post, with at least ten (10) pre-existing posts written in the 30 days prior to registration with the PayPerPost Marketplace.
5. Chronological Archives: Blogs must have a chronological archive to verify age. Categorical archives will not be accepted. You acknowledge and agree that PayPerPost may also verify compliance with these age and posting requirements via a third party spider.

Basic simple rules – as You can see it is not hard to meet the requirements :) . Hope You’ll join them and make a great revenue, because I believe every single blogger would be happy from some additional cash :)

So, Join them already! start making money!

Ever thought, that blogging can be like a curse? Well for those people it is:

Common Mistakes of Bloggers.
7 tips how to avoid them.

Everyone of us makes mistakes, even bloggers, who wants their blog to be the best. I have some tips to Everyone wanting to make their blogs better:

1. Links with “NO FOLLOW” attribute

If You have any advertises on Your blog, or simple did some paid reviews. Remember to link to Your affiliates with “no follow” attribute. Google is lowing your page rank if You do not do it. Also by adding “no follow” to most of Your links You won’t turn Your blog in links junk.

2. Not unique content

I know, the easies and the fastest way is to ctrl-c, ctrl-v some articles from Articles directories. But what for? You want to do a blog, which will have some meaning and maybe You’ll be proud of it if it gonna bring some revenue, or do You want to have another spam blog that quotes others words all the time? In my opinion writing about something in your own words, even if that subject has been talkeb 100 times over and over have more value than copied content.
Remember one rule – unique content brings more visits.

3. Posting Your links in wrong section of forums

If there’s a thread on forum about political issues – DO NOT post there with Your “how to boost adsense earnings” link. If You want to link to your blog on any forums do it with some sense. Don’t spam in every category. If You have something to say about Web hostign do it in web hosting section etc.

4. Page loading time

It is very important how long user need to wait to see Your blogs. That’s why the best thing to do is putting every scripts from other sites on the bottom of Your page. For example, You have a banner on start of You blog from the site, that temporarly is shutted down. The image cannot be found and the page isn’t loading for about 40 seconds, after that time in place of image there’s a text “NOT FOUND”. User had to wait 40 seconds – propably he resigned already. There’s a solution for that – download every banner from Your affiliate to Your server and then ut it on Your site.Faster loading time = happier user.

5. Too much contrast/distracting a user

First of all Your blog should be themed with steady, non contrasitng color, why? It’s easier to read and it is more comfortable for user. Secondly, if You want to put some banners on Your site make sure, that they are no “flashing types” banners. Best banners are static, nicely mixing in Your blog climate, then user thinks that this is a part of the site, no a advertise screaming “HEY! I”M HERE! CLICK ME!”

6. Too much Ads

Yes, I know, that every blogger wants to have some income from his blog. But, putting 3 Adsense text ads, 4 banners of affiliates and a popup window is a bad thing to do. User cannot just read Your content – he needs to find it first in this junk of ads. To let the user read what he wants and have some revenue from ads You need remove some, and rethink what should be removed. In my opinion 1-2 text ads and 2 banners are enough ( 1 at left/right side of Your blog and one at the bottom ).

7. More patience

Every good blog needs time to rise. Good income will not flow in matter of 2-4 days, or 1-2 week. No, You need to put some work to Your blog. Make it worth to stay and read what You write about. Read and always search knowledge letting Your blog to be a better than it is now.

7 simple tips, that should improve Your blog,if proper used. Maybe even rise its value for people from the net.
