Make Money Online Paid Blogging

Back when I first started looking into ways to make money online, I came across paid blogging. I signed up for a few different sites like Smorty, Blogitive, PayPerPost, ReviewMe and Blogsvertise. When I was on bed rest with my youngest son, I had 2 - 3 tasks per week with Smorty. Made a little bit of pocket change and kept me occupied. It worked out pretty good until the tasks dried up. Same with Blogsvertise. That was 3 years ago and I haven't really done much paid blogging since then. Maybe because I took a blogging break. I don't know, but a few weeks ago I was assigned a task from Blogsvertise, so I jumped on it. Since then I've gotten almost a dozen tasks. A couple I've turned down because they didn't seem relevant to the assigned blog. The tasks I did accept paid $10 - $20 each. It takes me about a half hour to complete a task, so pretty easy way to earn a little extra diaper money. For the tasks I've been assigned, the advertiser provides information on what they expect from your blog post. You then go check out the advertisers website and get a few ideas about what to write. You can either write a review about the advertisers site or write a post related to whatever the advertisers site is about.
I've had my blogs up and running for about 3 years. I've only posted a few times in the past year, but haven't entirely neglected them, so that has probably helped me receive new tasks, especially now that they have been around a while. Back then I was also a little cautious because paid blogging was fairly new and it was hard to tell how long these paid blogging sites would still be around. Three years later though and they are still up and running.
If you are looking to make money online, paid blogging is a great way to get started.
