Blogitive is a website that pays you to post your blogs online. You may not get rich working with Blogitive, as the payments are a flat $5 rate, but you can earn a steady income monthly by writing these paid posts of 100 words. That's less words than most other sites ask for, so while you get paid less, you have to write less. Blogitive is a perfect way to begin a profitable blogging career, if used right.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Blog at least 90 days old
  1. Step 1

    Sign up at Blogitive. All you need to sign up for Blogitive is a blog that is 90 days old, an email account and a PayPal account, as all payments are made via PayPal (see Resources below).

  2. Step 2

    Bid on as many opportunities as you want. First, click on an opportunity. An opportunity is an advertiser asking you to submit a short ad on your site (a unique, 100-word piece written by you selling a product or service). This gives you all the tools you need, including a press release, to write a post. However, you will need two non-Blogitive posts between each paid post. For example, you accept two opportunities. You cannot place them one after the other; you need two original non-Blogitive posts between each Blogitive opportunity. The good news is these only have to be 50 words a piece. So, you post one paid post opportunity; now you have to write two original posts of at least 50 words before you can post another paid Blogitive post.

  3. Step 3

    Pick blog advertisement opportunities. A good strategy, once you’re signed up, is to go to the Blogitive site on a daily basis, as the opportunities will come at various times in the day. All you really have to do is click on the “Reserve Opportunity” link, which allows you to accept the offer. Many opportunities will have nothing to do with your blog. Sometimes you have no choice, as you may have a niche blog. In the end, it’s up to you.For example, you might get offered car repair or dating services, while your blog is on art. If you want to make more money online, it’s best to choose any opportunities available unless they seem to be on controversial topics.

  4. Step 4

    Stay honest. If you have a small readership, they probably won’t mind a few odd paid posts. But if you post dozens on one blog it can hurt your readership, and possibly your Google Page Ranking. A Google Page Ranking is your ranking in comparison to other sites, and determines which pages get into Google’s top 10 or top 100 on that subject. The good news is Blogitive doesn’t pick your blog because it has a huge rating; as long as the blog is 90 days old, you can post.

  5. Step 5

    Use multiple blogs. The best way to make money with Blogitive is to use multiple blogs. If you don’t have another blog, this step is unnecessary. However, if you have two or more blogs 90 days old or longer, this step will work for you. For example, 10 opportunities come up on your Blogitive Opportunity page. You have one accepted blog on the site. You click on all of the blogging advertisement opportunities for your one blog, then remember that you will need 20 or more non-Blogitive posts of 50 words. It can be hard to write so many non-Blogitive posts for one blog. Instead of putting all your paid opportunities on one blog, you can spread them out. This allows you to write different articles on different topics for each blog. When you spread out the paid advertisements, it stops you from filling one blog with too many.

  6. Step 6

    Collect your check. Once an opportunity is accepted, which happens usually within a few days, your paid blog entry will appear on the “Completed Offers” page. Blogitive pays on a weekly basis via PayPal.

Tips & Warnings
  • Sometimes it can take a week or more before your paid post is reviewed. Typically posts are reviewed on Mondays.
  • If Blogitive doesn’t approve your blog after a few weeks or a month, email them. I had to email the support team to get my blog accepted. The paid blogging world is a busy one.
  • Carefully consider paid posts. Posting too many paid posts can lead to a smaller Google Page Ranking, which ranges from 1 to 10.
