You know, dear readers, it seems the holy grail of entrepreneurial types is to figure ways to make money while doing what they like. One of my passions is writing, and if I can make a buck (or a million) while doing it, then sign me up.
I recently came across a service called Smorty. Though I’m not really sure what the name means, they do promise that a blogger can get paid for blogging.
A little research into the company revealed that they are a blog advertising firm, which means companies pay them for reviews and links. In turn, the bloggers get paid to blog about the companies. It’s a nifty system.
The blogger makes money by accepting offers, which are basically requests from advertisers about how to format the review. Also, each offer is assigned a pre-set price, so it’s known up front what will be paid.
The offers are based on several factors, including a blog’s Google PageRank and its Alexa ranking. Smorty also uses an in-house rating system called “Smorty Score,” which increases as more offers are completed.
Smorty appears to be a good bet for bloggers who want to make some extra cash.
