Trying to Earn $100 from my blog

Finally, after more than 3 months of waiting, my blog has been approved by PayperPost. I have friends who has been writing there for months now, and they are able to earn up to hundred bucks. Some can even reach up to $500. I terribly wish I can earn that much too! My first assignments were from Blogsvertise and I'm still writing some in my site too. I hope they will give me more so I can reach my goal for this month. How about you guys? Any tips? Thanks!

Hi Babyfuzz, will your page ranking suffer? Most bloggers who tried sponsored reviews suffer a drop in PR. It's great to earn $500. I guess the money is enough to compensate for the drop in PR if the money is $500 and above.

Hi Babyfuzz, I think if you keep the number of paid reviews to a minimum, the search engine might not penalize so much. I wonder how many paid reviews those bloggers make per month? And how many original posts they make per month? It is really hard to bring a blog to PR4, and to let it drop to PR0 is so painful, the traffic to the blog will drop drastically.

In payperpost, you really have to have an interim post in between. So you should have one paid post and then next you have an original post and then you can follow it with a paid post. Others are okay with 2:1 (2 paid posts to 1 original). Blogs here in the Philippines don't reach PR4. We only have PR3 blogs... as far as I know.

Hi Babyfuzz, surprising to hear that you do not use SEO techniques for blog writing. How do you manage to get high page rank then? I think you should try to maintain a higher page rank for your blog, so that you can ask for higher rate for paid review, plus to keep a high traffic flow from search engines to your blog.

Hi, bumba. I think I have 10 visitors in a day. I also have to visit other blogs so they would visit me back. You have to earn your readers first. Like I said, I had to wait 3 months before my blog got approved from PPP. Maybe because I have no returning visitors yet and that my blogposts are not enough. PPP has new version, PPPv4. Maybe you can try to apply there. They said you don't need to wait for your blog to get approved.

Hi babyfuzz,thanks for responding back and trying to help me out.Thanks for your suggestions as well.I will try hard to make the ratio 2:1 and keep paid posts as minimum as I can,but you need certain projects to have those paid projects at the first place,is not it?Anyway,I already have a money making blog,now I want to create a blog which will focus on the entertainment genre.

Cool blog. You're doing great and I think you're on the right track. I have been rejected by ppp twice and I think I'm not going to push through anymore. But you break a leg, girl. By the way, how did you get mylot discussions in your site? What platform are you using? Wordpress? Anyway, goodluck!

It was rejected because my blog was very new and the first one they told me that I had to have archive in my blog. But I deleted my first blog and transferred all the content to the new one. Now I think I can resubmit my blog because it's old enough and I have written more contents so I hope to get approved this time.

Oh, yeah. I don't know how archives and transferring blogs work. Anyway, yeah, just make sure it's about 90 days old. Good luck! ^^

Hi, Jemina! Why are you being rejected? I mean, did you apply many times? It's funny because the day before I was approved I was really gonna give up on PPP. So, it was really a big surprise when I receive an email telling me that my blog has been approved. It's exciting! but sometimes there are no good opps available. Anyway, just focus on your goals and you'll just be surprised one day. Yeah, I use wordpress. There's a link here in mylot where you can just paste it on your RSS feed. Actually I don't remember where. It was long time ago. Will look for it when got the time. ^^ I think somewhere in the Earnings section or the FAQ where it says, want to earn more from Mylot or referral.. somewhere in between. ^^

Hey, kun!! Yeah, if I wanted something I guess I have all the patience. I told you I really needed some extra earnings, and writing is one of my way to get that. I know I'm not really good in writing, but at least it's helping me. Thank you so much. Yeah, I am getting more, that's why it's kinda hectic. I wasn't able to reply here immediately.

That's awesome. Congrats to you. I don't blog on ppp, because there are ranks and all that and the widgets pretty time consuming for me. So far, I enjoy uploading my on and off articles on Triond. I love the site so much, the friends there are pretty much awesome, just like in mylot too. Good luck in your quest and all the best..

Hi, zed. Wow, yeah. I also want to write for Triond, but I don't I can write professional articles so I just keep my blog since it's easier to write about personal stuff. I can write about whatever comes to my mind. That's what keeps us moving on right? Having fun! keep it up!

How was PayperPost and how much have you earns in three weeks? I am actually an accepted member but I don't know where to start because most the available jobs that I'm qualified for are so technical that I don't know what to write about them! What kind of article have you wrote for them? How many and how much did you earn? Sorry if I'm poking around too much :P I just want to learn more about the program.

Does it really decrease my page rank and what effect does decreased page rank has anyway? I'm quite protective over my site/blog because I've been investing a lot on it for the past year and I'm quite proud with what I have accomplished on my own :)

I am a little scared while replying to your this discussion because I read that MyLot does not allow such discussions which are about promotion of online earning oportunities. I first of all would like to congratulate you on getting approved on your blog. You sure have waited alot for this moment. Secondly, I would like to say Good Luck and have a nice bright future ahead in earning $100 and more.

Hi, ashar. don't be afraid cuz now I know what kind of discussions mylot deletes. see, this discussion is still up. it's because I don't encourage you or ask you to sign up under me. I am just sharing my experience regarding how I earn online. if they prohibit such discussion, then they would have not allowed this interest under "making money" right? anyway, thank you for your greetings. I'm really glad i'm able to earn this amount even though I didn't go to college. yup yup, I'm already earning $200 a month. Hopefully next year, I can reach $500 too. yeah!

I m sending u a friends request-if it is acceptable to u we can share some ideas with regdars to monetizing your blog.

Hi, amirev! Thank you for the greeting. Yeah, there are many factors why a certain blog gets approved or not. Imagine my boyfriend just signed up and after a week his blog got approved. and I had to wait for 3 months. hehe. Thanks for the request.

id' have suggested "quit whatever else you're doing and focus on that" if i had stumbled on this discussion two days ago, but right now i'd say "why target that when you only get yourself into a silent fight?"

Wow! That's a lot! Is that $100 a month? I guess it really pays to be creative huh? Well sorry i relly can't give you some writing tips because my writing sucks big time. I'm just here to congratulate you for your hard work. Three months of waiting is no joke. Good thing you didn't gave up on it. Now that it has been approved i guess that's another hard work for you. Good luck!

Hi there, tina! Wow! your blog is a niche blog. it's all about earning online. It looks good to me. I bet you have lots of organic visitors. You don't need to put paid posts there. Why don't you focus on passive income?
