PAID BLOGGING
Payperpost is one of the most popular paid blogging sites around and is the common choice of most freelance writers everywhere. It’s popularity stems not only from its significant strength as a veteran player in the field, but also from its use of a Real Rank (IZEA) system that measures a blog or website’s real statistics. Rather than rely on the complicated and fluctuating ranking system of Google (PR), PPP makes use of its own system, thus making it much easier for even the newest of writers to make some money through paid blogging. Interface is clean and easy to follow, has an affiliate program and allows writers to directly sell their services to clients through PPP direct. Also has a strong writer-support system and tutorial for rookies. Requires no bidding, yet has a limited number of reserves for any opportunity at a given time. Payments through Paypal.
Review Me is one of the most reliable paid-to-blog sites out there. A lot of bloggers don’t really want to write about loans; reviews of different products can be quite easier to blend into the general niche or topic of your blog. Even personal blogs can find it a lot easier to find opportunities through Review Me. It’s a lot easier to find things and products that you’re actually interested in and won’t look odd or forced in your blog. One thing, though. It’s a lot more strict when it comes to accepting blogs, so if you do get approved, consider yourself one of the chosen few.

SponsoredReviews requires the writer to place bids depending on the minimum and maximum amount set by the client. Should a writer win a bid, part of his earnings go to SR, i.e. $3.25 earnings for a $5 post go to the writer. Also has an affiliate program that allows writers to increase earnings through inviting other writers to sign up for SR. Like PPP, disclosure is required, though some clients may prefer site-wide rather than per post disclosure. Unlike PPP, SR does not require an interim, non-sponsored post, though it does call for a 3:1 ratio of non-paid versus paid posts. Payments are made bi-weekly through Paypal.
Snapbomb is a relatively new player in this field, and it has a very different approach to paid blogging. It has its own means and standards in measuring the “worth” of a blog’s post, and this determines the availability of opportunities. Instead of having a specific amount for a particular post that any writer can take (depending on availability and qualification, as in PPP), the pay depends on the blog’s worth. For example, in a particular opportunity, a blog worth only $1.30 gets only that amount. Again, the worth is determined b Snapbomb’s own calculations. So far, I’ve had only one opportunity and approximately $2.++ in earnings. Nevertheless, its only advantage is that it does not discriminate against young and new blogs.
The interface of LinkyLove Army lacks the professional feel of Payperpost and SponsoredReviews. It’s also quite difficult to figure out what exactly is expected of the members of this company, apart from paid blogging. I have yet to receive any of the so-called “missions” (similar to opportunities of PPP) so far.
SocialSpark is the from the same company as PayPerPost: IZEA. That’s where the similarities end, though, as SocialSpark has a more interactive layout, allowing advertisers to contact bloggers directly. There are more opportunities in SocialSpark to choose from, though bloggers should be ready to check back as often as they can to get them ahead of the pack. It also allows the members to view fellow bloggers, as well as touch base with advertisers. All in all, the set-up is a lot more similar to a community than anything else.
Blog2U Philippines is the brainchild of a Singaporean company that made its way to the Philippines. This company is a new player in the field and has yet to release any actual opportunities. It’s been more than three weeks since they began contacting Filipino bloggers, but no transactions have actually been completed so far.
ACADEMIC/ESSAY WRITING
AllWriting.Net offers its writers a clear and easy to navigate interface wherein they can apply for projects that they believe are in their forte. Price per page depends on level of difficulty and amount of time provided to finish the project. The projects range from Humanities to Science, though many of the projects are geared towards either business or engineering/computer science. Unfortunately, payments are at times delayed and writers have to constantly badger the staff to get paid. When they do answer, though, they are always courteous and informative (provided you badger them enough to make them answer you at all).
EssayWriters.Net is quite similar to AllWriting.Net in terms of process, though it does have a wider range of projects to choose from. Response from staff is always prompt and payment has never been delayed (in my case at least). If you’re residing in the Philippines, Paypal is not a payment option for you, as the company insists on using wire transfer, with a minimum of $400 if you want to avoid transfer fees on your part. The only problem with EW is that there are a lot of complaints against it all over the net. Though my personal experience and the experiences of those I’ve talked to are positive, you might want to take these issues into consideration.
CustomPapers.Com is obviously my favorite company. I’m currently working for this essay writing company and I must it has one of the best systems I ever seen. Instead of waiting for the middle men to pass your messages and questions to the client, CustomPapers gives you your own e-mail address that you use to talk directly to the client. The payment system is just as incredible. After completing an assignment, send CustomPapers an invoice through Paypal and the money comes in less than three days (even half a day sometimes, depending on verification needed). No need to wait for bi-monthly or monthly paychecks. And Miriam, Ericka and Roger are three of the nicest people I’ve ever worked with online.
