Blogging for other people
In this variation of blogging, you still have your own blog to maintain, however instead of posting about random things, you can actually get paid to review and advertise other peoples products. You can get anywhere from $2 up to $35+ for one simple post.
In order to succeed at this form of blogging, you need to be a good writer and have a decent fan base. If you have a blog up now, you could go to www.payperpost.com and sign up for their service (for free) and then start getting paid to post about products or services. If you have a semi-popular blog, then certainly you would be able to promote products or services in an inconspicuous manner. If you just write about how great the products are every day, your fan base will die. Try to implement humor and satire into your postings to keep the readers entertained while they are reading. After all…a blog is nothing without traffic.
