How to Use Smorty for Paid Blogging

Smorty is considered one of the best paid blogging services. The reasons? They pay weekly, post new opportunities every day or so and have less strict requirements on bloggers to join. It depends on how popular your blog is, but you can make decent money blogging with Smorty. Ready to sign up? Before you do, read a couple of tips on making the process easier.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. What you need to know. Your blog must be at least 90 days old, so if you don’t already have one, consider getting one. It will pay dividends. Also, to sign up, those 90 days must include an average of two posts a week. If you take a vacation for a week and don’t post, that's no problem as long as you post an extra post or two the next weeks. So, 90 days and two posts a week are all you need to qualify.

2. Click on opportunities. When you sign up and your blog is accepted, you will get the option for many different kinds of posts. But Smorty is still growing. Some days you will have ten reasonable options, while other days you're lucky if you can find one. Most paid posts will have something to do with business. Unfortunately, some of them really shouldn’t be put on your blog unless you’re desperate. For example, cash advance sites and online casino or casino reviews are quite popular but you may not want to click on them. But if you choose to take such an opportunity, most of the time you will get paid more.

3. Write a 150-word post. The next great feature for Smorty is the fact the posts are typically shorter than other blog posts. If you went to Sponsored Review or Pay Per Post right now, the majority of the posts would ask for at least 200 words and maybe even 400. The average post on Smorty only pays about $6, but writing a 150-word post is rather easy. At least once a week, often twice, a post of $15 and higher will be offered and these are often good opportunities.

4. When to look. In my experience, the best times to check for Smorty posts are after business hours, between 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. EST. It’s important to check a few times because most posts will be taken by other bloggers. You’re not the only blogger using this service, so check as much as possible.

5. Get paid. As noted, Smorty pays weekly, and it’s via Paypal. Other places like Pay Per Post can take over a month to pay you. The only other blogging service that competes in paying you so fast, that I am aware of, is Sponsored Review. Smorty will be one of the best paid blogging services if it sticks to the simple business plan of offering good posts. With Smorty, you can get paid for blogging and it can be fun.
