There are several relatively easy ways to make some money from your blog such as using Google AdSense, selling private ad spots, and writing reviews. The downside with using Google AdSense and trying to sell private ad spots is your blog must have enough traffic to generate the clicks or page impressions. My guess is most of you aren’t getting hundreds of visitors to your blog each day (not yet at least) so you aren’t making much money from those methods of advertising.
So where does that leave us? If you haven’t heard of writing reviews on your blog to generate a decent stream of income then you might want to check it out.
It’s actually easier than you think. The first step is to sign up with a blog review network and submit your blog. Some of these companies have rules in place like the age of your blog (at least 6 months old, etc), where it’s hosted (blogspot, wordpress, etc), and page rank. They try to weed out spam blog sites which are usually not very old or of good quality. Make sure you read the fine print before you spend your time applying only to find out you don’t qualify.
Assuming your blog is approved, you can now browse the review marketplace looking for reviews to write about or another option is to wait for someone to approach you. I recommend you be the aggressor and sift through the marketplace so you can start making money asap.
Once you find a review you’d like to write about and meet the criteria to qualify, just take it and begin. You’ll create your blog post and follow the requirements of the reviewer, then submit it for approval. After it’s approved, you get paid. Pretty easy huh?
There are several companies out there who pay you to write reviews on your blog but only two of them are worth talking about in my opinion. They are Sponsored Reviews and Pay Per Post.

Sponsored Reviews is great because they allow you to search for advertisers directly and bid on jobs. Their bidding system allows you to negotiate rates with advertisers in order to maximize your earnings. They also provide the largest payout of all review networks by only taking a 35% commission for their services. That means you can earn anything from $10 to 500+ for each review. Their user interface is one of the better ones out there and the only drawback to their service is the lack of advertisers. I’m sure it will continue to grow it’s advertising base so they are at least worth a look.
One other perk is their affiliate program. Earn up to $175 per Advertiser and $90 Per Blogger referred. Payouts are based on money spent by the advertiser and money earned by the blogger. See the chart below for payouts. Their average advertiser spends several hundred dollars so most referrals will be worth at least $25 (according to their website).

You’ll then want to put one of their ads on your site or a text link to start taking advantage of their referral bonuses. Can’t hurt to get an ad on your blog right? Get started with Sponsored Reviews now.

Next up we have PayPerPost which is another great pay for review site. They offer the largest sponsored blogging network with the greatest amount of offers along with a forum where bloggers can post questions, etc. They also pay you a $20 bonus after you complete your first review post. The review post is easy…you just need to write about PayPerPost and they give you $20. Pretty quick way to make a quick $20.
One bad thing I noticed while browsing their marketplace is the restrictions on a few of the reviews. For example, you couldn’t write a review and post it on blogspot.com, wordpress.com, or myspace.com and you must be located in North America, Asia, or Europe only. That doesn’t mean if you have a blogger blog or wordpress blog using your own domain or hosted on your own site you can’t write a review. All I’m saying is make sure you read the review details carefully so you don’t waste your time writing a post only to discover you won’t get credit for it.
They also have a scoring system which might be a barrier to you on some post reviews. It’s usually the higher payouts that are looking for nice reviews from established high ranking sites. They utilize Google Page Rank and Amazon’s Alexa rankings to factor in what your site’s “score” will be.
PayPerPost also offers a referral affiliate program with some pretty nice payouts as well. You will get paid $15 for each referral once the referees first blog posting is reviewed, approved and then finally accepted 30 days later. This means they need to go all the way through the process in order for it to be a legit referral. Again, not a bad payout for just putting a banner or link on your blog. It’s cool because you can see which referrals you currently have signed up and the total amount you potentially could earn (assuming they convert all the way mentioned above).
If I were you, I’d sign up for both Sponsored Reviews and PayPerPost and see which one works best for you. There is no rule preventing you from having two accounts and writing reviews from both sites and you can promote whichever you choose. That’s what I did and it also gives you a bigger selection of available reviews to write. After you sign up, make sure you get some affiliate banners on your blog so you have another avenue to make money. Just imagine if you write a dozen or so reviews a month and get a couple referrals. You could easily earn a few hundred extra bucks a month for some pretty minimal work!
I wish these sort of sites were available when I was in college because I had tons of free time and needed to make money. I could have easily earned $500+ a month writing a couple reviews a day!

Great post. I love SponsoredReviews and I think their program is one of the best.
I like Payu2blog as well. They will give you opps every friday.
Nice post!!
I started to use this two services a week ago.
They are pretty cool.
Recommended!
i have do paid review too, but my earn still $0 until now. Do you have any input for me to get alot of $$ ?
Great post. Yeah, I have a free Wordpress blog and wasn’t too thrilled when I found out I couldn’t post ads on it OR get paid for product reviews with it. The strange thing is, PayPerPost lets you APPLY with a wordpress.com blog. They should stop you WHILE you’re applying. Instead, they allow the app to go through and you learn after all of that that you can’t do it.
@ Tracy:
Yes, you can’t post ads on a free Wordpress blog.
However, you may suggest to PayPerPost staff to pay attention to similar cases as yours. That will be helpful for many future users of this website (PPP).
Thanks a lot for the info; I’ve been wondering how I can make money from my blog. I’ll have to give these a try and see what happens.
thx homie
Nice information. PPP you dont get oppurtunities so easily.
Good Information.I start ADSENSE Today

You dont necessary need a PR to write paid reviews.
WOW! Thank you for taking the time to spell all that out! I have heard about both those sites but wasn’t too sure exactly how it worked. I am going to link your blog to mine so anyone who reads mine can get this info.

Useful information. Thanksl.
FYI–The PPP setup won’t allow a person to accept an opportunity if their blog doesn’t meet the requirements. So a person with an ineligible blog won’t even be allowed to see the details of the review requirements.
As far as i know PPP is bad
Thanks friend, i will try both oh them.
The problem here is when you do not have a PR it will be tough to get an ad. Also, most of the time they prefer bloggers from the 1st world country.
Thats Good , Nice Article
http://request-ebooks.blogspot.com/
be careful with PPP as they are now doing some blog assessment without clear nor defined guidelines/requirements and have disapproved a lot of blogs that were previously approved.
Thanks for sharing your experience in using Payperpost and Sponsored Reviews.
I have applied for PPP, however they refused me, since my blog is so young. I would like to re-apply later.

i signed up with payperpost 2 months ago and submit my blog. But they did not approve for the following reason; using wordpress.com platform, though i’m using my own domain. Then resubmit but still failed because of ‘chronological archive’ something. Now gave up.
Any idea to fix this?
@Matt
I think your blog doesn’t meet their requirement for PageRank, at least your blog had to has PR 3 but now still PR 0. Improve your blog PageRank.

Hmm… i’l giveit a try on my blog …But …you need a high traffic .
thanks for this information…. I have joined with both of them, but I still have problem….that is there are few jobs I’ve been taken so long.
Adsense + review + TlA is best revenue
@peluang – I totally agree. The hardest part is to get approved for paid review and TLA accounts. Once you do, then it’s a great combo. I also recommend Chitika.
You have provided information about only two sites. I don’t want to sound pompous, but I have compiled a list of more than 40 sites which pay you to blog. A review of 40 Sites that Pay You to Blog

I has join these two programs, but they have rejected my blog. how can i get approve?
now i have new blog, i use wordpress with my own domain and hosting, how long can i take to these two program?
@monique, getting approved usually depends on the age and quality of your blog. If you just started a new blog, chances are you won’t get approved. After a few months of posting and achieving a Google page rank, you’ll have better luck.
It’s hard for me…
Affiliate is other way to get $$

@David, Thank You for the answer..

that 2 sites is really can give us big earning,but it needs a good rating so you can get much job from advertiser.its a good posting.
I’d love to be approved by SponsoredReview or PayPerPost.

Also, I am quite keen on knowing how they handle critical reviews.
