Over the course of my time as a blogger, I’ve looked into numerous ways of making my efforts work for me. A great many bloggers choose not to use their blog in this way and I fully respect their decisions for this. However, I believe, if done conscientiously, you can use your blog as a way to supplement your teaching income while still providing a valuable source of information and entertainment for your readers. Here are a few of the ways I use, all of which are free to sign up for:
Smorty is a service that allows you to make money from your blog by writing opinion articles about available advertiser campaigns. It’s free to sign up and opportunities are sent directly to your personal admin panel and email account. Turn your daily blog updates into money: between 5 and 20 minutes of writing could be sending money directly to your PayPal account after posts are approved. You can apply with multiple blogs to write more opinions and receive more payments.
BidVertiser is basically a clone of Adsense, You can display BidVertiser text ads on your website or blog, get paid for every click and have the payments sent directly to your PayPal account. The big advantage of this service is that you only need to reach ten dollars before you get paid.
Sponsored Reviews works on a similar basis to Smorty, in that you earn cash by writing honest reviews about our advertiser’s products and services. Of course, you get the chance to write reviews in your own tone and style, and gear them to your audience’s interest. The advantage of this service is that you can look through a large list of campaigns and choose the ones that best suit the subject of your blog.
Adbrite is another service working along similar lines to Adsense, but also allowing you to place adverts on video clips and pictures.
Again, another website that lets you get paid for blogging. You write about web sites, products, services, and companies and earn cash for providing your opinion and valuable feedback to advertisers. This one requires that your blog has quite a high level of traffic.
