Get paid for blogging?
Are you crazy? Am I to believe that I can actually get paid to blog like I normally do for free? Apparently so!
I came across a post from someone talking about this site called Smorty.com and the post was written well enough for me to want to open it up in a new tab and learn more. Now please understand I don’t usually do that. If I see a post that makes it clear it’s talking about blog advertising, I’ll tend to click on to the next post. I mean, I need to be up to date (to the second(?) ) about what’s happening in the blogosphere. Right ?
Smorty.com made me want to check it out and see if it was real or just some blog advertising gimmick of the moment.
I do feel inclined to disclose that this is (potentially) a paid post, and most of you who read me on a regular basis know that I’ll speak my mind about the post topics I choose. And those of you I see at other sites also know that my comments tend not to sugar coat, nor hold back my opinions of ideas, products or services.
Regardless of what a site might be offering, if I have to sign up for it the experience should be a simple, straight forward one. There is plenty of clean, clear documentation about the service that Smorty.com provides to both advertisers as well as bloggers and in just a few short moments, I was able get a high level overview about how their system was set up and how it allowed me to earn a bit of money doing what I normally do.
FAQ’s, pages regarding the processes involved, and the rules one is expected to abide by were straight forward and understandable. I really didn’t have any questions regarding what Smorty.com was or what might be expected of me. That is a definite plus for me when exploring a new service. The terms page has a font size that is a bit smaller than the rest, but that’s due to the “legalese” nature of that content. I did read through it pretty thoroughly, and my eyes didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. No red flags. Again, a good thing.
And to be completely honest, the only real challenge there came when I chose my country and the page refreshed itself (for some reason) and apparently the form thought it was being submitted. I got several red error messages about fields I’d not yet filled in, but I understood why that happened and finished the affiliate sign up with out a hitch. You’ll likely see Smorty.com banners rotating in on the bottom of my pages very soon as I like what I’ve seen thus far.
My application was accepted within a few short hours, and now this morning, I’ve decided that my first “assignment” would be to write about how to get paid for blogging and share my thoughts and opinions on Smorty. Please share your experiences here if you do go and check them out soon. I’d love to hear how things have gone for you.
