A Problogger Mom

I last posted my online earnings on June 21st. Now that August is here, I decided it is time to update you all. At the last report, my total online earnings via blogging, advertising, affiliates, pay to click type sites, etc was $128.90 for the month of May and the first 3 weeks of June.

As of today, my total is $409.15, which means in the last 5 weeks or so I have made an additional $280.25. This does NOT include an addtional $75 I have earned for referrals to Payperpost. I will only receive this money when each of those referrals follows through with writing a paid post and gets paid for it 30 days later. But if you would like to include it, that would make my total online earnings since May $484.15, or just $355.25 for the last 5 weeks or so.

Whoo hoo! A new fun thing to play with! I signed up for Sponsored Reviews last week before leaving on our camping trip, and just found an approval notice in my inbox! I’m looking forward to figuring out how that site works as I have only heard good things about it and that you can earn a bit more from them than you can with other paid posting type sites.

I also just signed this blog up with Payperpost, as I have finally reached the point of having over 10 approved posts on my old blog.

Please check out my new post on my old blog here My Earnings are Up!

 I posted several times on my old blog how I signed up for Payperpost many months ago, but never acutally started doing posts for them until recently. Apparantly, you cannot add a new blog to your account, until you have the 10 approved posts on the old blog, so I have spent the last week or so trying to meet the minimum quota on the old site. I am almost there and hope to be done with that activity this week. Meanwhile, I am having to intersperse sponsored posts, with non-sponsored posts, and I have been neglecting this blog in the process! Hopefully I will have this whole mess behind me very soon!

In case you missed this post at DoshDosh, I just have to give it a mention: A Definitive List of Paid Blogging-Websites. Of course the list starts out with the well known Payperpost and ReviewMe, but there are several on here I have not heard of and will be checking out soon.

The New York Times recently ran this article: Can Blogs Become a Big Source of Jobs?

The article points out, that as blogs are becoming more and more popular, there is more demand for employees who can write or support them, from CEO’s on down.

“There’s almost an ecosystem of jobs that have emerged around blogs,” said Paul Forster, chief executive at Indeed.com, a job search engine with postings from more than 5,000 sources. “It’s an emerging area where there are many more opportunities related to the blog rather than being a dedicated blog writer.”

Thanks to Supermom_in_NY and Stephen Fung, I was able to finally get my blog updated today on Technorati in 12 hrs or less. You may recall I posted just yesterday, frustrated because my blog had not been updated by Technorati in over 90 days.

It seems Technorati, may have issues with Payperpost. I removed my banner in my sidebar, and most of my Payperpost links in many of my posts as was suggested by Stephen Fung. I also sent in new pings through Iping and Pingomatic with the URL of my blog http://aprobloggermom.blogspot.com/index.html, adding the index.html at the end as Supermom_in_NY suggested.
