Blogging for Cash

I have run across banner ads for Today.com on so many occasions that, in the end, I decided to sign up following the advice in a forum from a writer colleague. Today.com is a blogging network, where you get the opportunity to blog for some extra cash.

If you enjoy writing, if you have a hobby, or something to tell the world and a spare fifteen minutes a day, this might be a good opportunity for you. As they usually say: “You would do it anyway, so... why not get paid for it?” In this blogging network you get paid $1 per post containing at least 100 words. Post once a day and get paid $30-31 a month. It doesn’t sound like a fortune but so far this is the only network I have found that pays you to blog about anything you want.

You don’t need to advertise someone else’s products, they don’t pay you to write reviews or endorsements, this is not one of this payperpost schemes. You just choose your subject and blog as usual. Publish and get paid.

At Today.com you can also make extra money in different ways:
-By their referrals program, (for bloggers) you get paid $5 by referring a friend to blog for cash.
-By their referrals program (for advertisements) sell advertisement spots on your site (by placing a link or writing a post) and share part of the revenue.
-Be paid $2.00 per 1000 unique visits to your site.
-There are even monthly bonuses for the blogger with the biggest number of referrals.

Some of their members report getting hundreds of dollars of monthly income.

To create an account is straight forward and easy. Apply following the link provided below (or clicking on the banner at the top), you will have to choose the name of the blog and the subject. In the question where they ask who refer you indicate the name of the blogger that is referring you. I enter as user name: magan.

It might take some days (or even weeks) for the blog to be approved as there is a high number of applications. But once you receive your approval, they will send you the link to activate your account. Once activated you are on your way, start blogging! (they review your blog after you publish 30 posts over 30 individual days, so hold on there it is just your first month)

At the end of the day, what is 100 words for some extra income in your pocket?

Hubpages, the hidden potential

Everybody seems to know about Squidoo, but not everyone seems to know the hidden potential of hubpages.

Hubpages is a free website, in which you can publish your articles in any topic you want and make some extra income. The extra income comes through advertisement from sources such as Google Adsense and Kontera, also from affiliate links mainly from Amazon and Ebay among other sources.

However, you can also use hubpages to double your efforts and your sales results when you are marketing your products and your website. This social media can actually bring traffic to your website, in this way you can promote your website and your products while attracting traffic. The effectiveness of this media is in their double use as a free standing website with content and products to sell and as a free marketing tool that will attract the traffic and close the sale. At the end of the day, what business check are numbers and conversion rates, what we actually need is a powerful marketing tool and Hubpages might have that potential
