Yes I did at the start – the blog lost all its PR and never got it back -its just a fancy way to sell links and Google will slap your site for doing it. At least they used to pay $10 LOL

Have you ever tried those paid to blog services that you use on your own blogs? like payperpost.com and blogsvertise.com? They pay you for publishing product reviews on your own blog. I do know that they pay much more than $1 per post

I don’t know! Find myself understandably apprehensive even a little paranoid after having a few bad experiences with those so-called paid survey sites. The thought of writing blogs and being paid to write them, would appeal to just about anyone.

However, realistically speaking every endeavor no matter what form it may take requires superb connections, something I obviously lack. As for me, a Professor schooled in the field of electromechanical engineering and astrophysics there’s not a whole lot I could write, that hasn’t already been written in some textbook.

Naturally, I have an unbridled scientific imagination that requires a little study to examine the obvious down to its finite subatomic particles. Add or subtract the quantum value of a single neutron in compliance with mathematical physics and someone has already discovered the answer.

Nobody, would bother reading or wasting any green capital on something that can be found in a college-level textbook.

If they’re looking for some fresh new ideas, then I am obviously out of them…

Thats a lot of work for 50 bucks I am sure with your writing skill you could make more money. But as you say its not easy making money as a blogger. Have ever thought about the finance business, lots of money to be made from selling second charge loans and mortgages. Maybe you could blog about finance?

Hi Lis, just dropping by. I found your blog via a post on Griz' site, with a recommendation to read up on your Today.com post. I'd already signed up by the time I read about your promo offer though, which is a shame. If I get a spot there, I would have appreciated some hassling. I'm a fellow Aussie too (Tasmanian originally) but have lived in Asia most of my grown years. Have two daughters back there though, so they keep me up on all the news. All the best, Lis and I'll be sure to drop by again now that I've found your blog. Robyn’s last blog post..10 Quick Tips for Getting Rid of Writer’s Block

The $100/minimum for Google Adsense is NOT easy to get to – this is the biggest misconception out there – you cant just slap Adsense on a general blog and make money – its not going to happen. Read my mate’s griz’s blog on Adsense if you are serious about it.
Today does own the content – its in the contract that you should have read when you signed up. If they didn’t pay for a post they tell you why and you have the option to correct sometimes.

Very interesting... I thought maybe I could earn just a few extra bucks here and there.. I been doing it for months and have not even reached the payout for google ad's it's pitiful... I was blogging my butt off at today.com but noticed they didn't pay me for my all my posts so I quit blogging there... I don't even know if they now own my content. Celeb blogs, and blogging about making money blogging are the ones that seem to make the money...And there are tons of them... I do get the satisfaction of about 40 or 50 visitors a day. So SOMEBODY is reading my crap...Which is what it is... LOL DaveStuff’s last blog post..Does Wearing a Ball Cap Make You Go Bald?

I would think they would have had to pay more at the start – that’s how you start a content creation website! Everyone mentions eHow – but they don’t pay non-US resident writers! And they also don’t allow contextural backlinks – which was my whole motivation with today!
