I know there are tons of blog sites but not all pay. I don't do anything online besides facebook that doesn't pay.
Since personapaper is shutting down I will have no where to write my product reviews or geocaching and letterboxing adventures etc. There are just things that I write on mylot and some things that I don't think would really fit.
If you get paid from a blogging site even if it is a very low amount I would really appreciate knowing about it. I have a review I would like to write and no where to write it.

It may not lead to direct payment, but writing reviews for Walmart and Amazon can pay off.
I read an article on The Penny Hoarder the other day from someone who worked to get her reviewer rank up to the point where she was in the top 10,000. Apparently doing that has allowed her to be approached by quite a few companies who are interested in giving her products to test in exchange for a review.
Walmart does something similar with its invite-only Spark Reviewer program. @sharon6345 is doing that, and she's said she gets several products every month to try out and review. I think last month she was able to get a full-size crib through the program. I'm currently working on getting enough reviews out there so they might invite me to participate.

Wow that is really awesome about the invite-only Spark Reviewer program. I have never heard of that. I only do reviews on Amazon when Crowdtap or the other sites that send me products request that I do that as part of the testing requirements. I don't think I could possibly come up with enough things to review on a site to get in the top 10,000 haha. Just getting time to get on mylot for a few minutes a day is tough.

Maybe chatabout. It is really informal, but those things quite likely are topics.

What blog sites did you use that didn't work out? I feel like I wasted a year on personapaper now that I never reached payout nor will I ever since they are shutting down. I don't want to create a blog and not earn a single cent for all the work put into it.

I love it here as well but I don't think anyone here would really be interested in my reviews of products or local geocaching finds. I feel like that kind of stuff would be better for a blog then mylot. A friend of mine designs things on redbubble and earned $800 last year from it. I wish I was creative enough to come up with designs to do that!

I post 1000-more words article with videos, pictures, links, etc on bitLanders and submit for review. I earned higher there compare to any other sites BUT you wont receive payment there if you do not want to verify your account(s) by sending/emailing copy of 2 valid IDs. You have the option to donate your earnings to charities.

I have never heard of bitLanders. Is it a review site mostly or a blogging site? I did reviews on one site and it was too picky. I prefer just to give my opinions about products on my own blogs. I'm not sure if I would feel comfortable providing valid ID online to a company unless it was for tax purposes. I like that at my lot we don't have to do that. I always worry someone will steal my information.

I do not have a paid blog yet but I did sign up for an account with blogger. I made my first blog post which was a review of the Hello toothpaste I got to test out for free from crowdtap. I was happy with how it turned out. I look forward to creating more posts and eventually earning money for writing there.

Mylot is awesome. My earnings don't jump to much each day here but I also don't have time to put in much work either. I am happy with the earnings here. It is so simple to write and earn money here. I just don't think people would be interested here in some of the things I would write on my blog like reviews and geocaching things we do. I like local things like where we go geocaching and what my kids and I do and what restaurants we go to be more specific to my blog.

The name sounds familiar to me as well. I kind of want to take my photo down off of here and add something that doesn't show my face. It will likely confuse people for awhile though. I tend to remember photos more then names on here. I do remember your name though because it is similar to a name of a friend of my fathers. I am working now on transferring the posts I wrote on personapaper to my new blog on blogger.
