I've been doing it for over a year now, and have only just begun to make money that makes a difference. It takes months before you even start to make anything at it. But I don't do paid reviews. I know some people who make much more doing reviews for Pay Per Post and sites like that.

Itsjustmeli,

Do you have your own blog? Or do you make money writing for other peoples' blogs? I am interested in blogging for a living also.

Thanks for any info you can provide!

Kat

I'm wondering the same thing. I just created a blog and am in the process of building it up so I can submit it to PayPerPost for approval.

Very impressive Razz. Your blog is very well designed & I love how you have kept your personal flair & touch within the blog. That seems to be the key - you have created something that people enjoy reading while at the same time built creditablity. You have done a great job with the mix. I myself, am kept bust with other type of work, but after seeing your blog & earnings, who knows, I am always open to change & opportunity!!






Here are acouple of questions:
did your blog have to reach a certain level of visabilty (# Visitors) before being accepted by payperpost? how did you get there?

how long from the time your blog went live until you actually saw money coming in steadily?

are some of your posts affiliates or all paid reviews?

how much time per day (& how many days) do you spend working on promoting the blog & writing the posts?

how many various sites have you had to create (ex squidoo, my space...) and work on a regular basis?

how many blogs do you actively work on?

Again, keep up the great job!

Aww msuggit, you totally made my day, thanks!!

______________

did your blog have to reach a certain level of visabilty (# Visitors) before being accepted by payperpost? how did you get there?

Nobody could be reading your blog and you can get accepted, they are the only ones that do that, other companies similar to them want you to have steady traffic

how long from the time your blog went live until you actually saw money coming in steadily?

ppp pays you in a month and after that, its everyday in your paypal if you write steadily

are some of your posts affiliates or all paid reviews?
all paid reviews, except for another company that doesnt care what you write, just post the link in a sentence

how much time per day (& how many days) do you spend working on promoting the blog & writing the posts?

If I make my daily goal, maybe an hour or two. Writing 50 words- 200 words does not consume time. No need to promte much unless you want to. Making blog friends help, I visit theirs and they visit mines.

how many various sites have you had to create (ex squidoo, my space...) and work on a regular basis?
The squidoo is something I wanted to do, it has nothing to do with blogging. squidoo pays you for having it, I dont do myspaces

how many blogs do you actively work on?
I have 4 blogs with ppp and 2 with pu2b and 3 with SR. So thats nine? wow, lol but somedays I focus on some more than others, I cant really keep up with all of them daily.

All in all, I make a certain amount with ppp and a certain amount with other similar companies, so on a weekly basis I could make up to $400 a week? If I am nottoo lazy that week, lol I dont keep up, I just know that I am getting paid

I am so not a pro at all this, just a mom making money online

Did I answer everything? Feel free to ask more

That's awsome Razz! Your blog is super! I've been looking for a way to make money that won't take away too much time from family. This sounds like a great way to do it.

Do you retain ownership of your blog or does it belong to ppp? Do you already have to have a pre-existing blog or can you start a new one to use for ppp?

Thanks for sharing.

Hey Razz do you know if you can be an affiliate with ppp and still work as a poster? I was thinking of doing a review blog but how did you go about it? Did you start out posting personal stuff or immediately start reviewing items?
