By Rocky John on Nov 24, 2007 in Blog Monetization, Blog Review
Another option if you want to monetize your blog is Sponsored Reviews. SponsoredReviews is another great websites that pays you to review blogs, goods, services etc.
Around November 10 after Blogging Mix has been approved by PayPerPost, I’ve submitted my blog at SponsoredReviews.com. The approval process was rather quick as it took them only 3 days before I’ve received their confirmation that Blogging Mix was accepted. So far, I’ve done 4 sponsored post with SponsoredReviews and I was already paid $78 two days ago via PayPal. In contrast, the money I’ve earned from PayPerPost has not yet been paid considering that my paid post was done earlier.
Why Monetize Your Blog With SponsoredReviews?
SponsoredReviews.com’s requirements for a blog, like PayPerPost, is not as difficult to meet compared to ReviewMe.com. What’s more, as a blogger, you have the the full control over the products that you review. You can choose to review products that are related to your niche or products that you think your readers will be interested at. With SponsoredReviews you can are not expected to only write positive reviews. At SponsoredReviews, you are paid to write in-depth and honest reviews. Your constructive criticism is not only appreciated but is expected.

Other websites offering the same service asks for 50% transaction fee.

If you don’t have a PayPal account, don’t worry as creating one is easy and hazzle free. All you need is an email account.
Another thing that makes SponsoredReviews an ideal way to monetize your blog is the huge number and variety of advertisers. I’m certain that you’ll be able to find advertisements targeted to your blog readers.
If you don’t like to do sponsored reviews, you can apply in their affiliate program and earn up to $175 for every advertisers you refer or $5 for each blogger. Your potential earnings at SponsoredReviews.com from sponsored posts or affiliate program depend on your ability as a blogger and your skills in marketing your blog.

One thing I like about SR is that it does not take Google Page Rank into account. This is a great advantage compared to all other Pay To Post platform.
With the launch of their new affiliate program, I can sense that there will be a huge surge in advertisers and publishers volume since PayPerPost is now entangled with Google over the Page Rank issue.

ok. that is one great thing to know about SR.
It took like 2 weeks for my blog to get approved by PPP but a few hours only from SR.
Rocky, why you no longer use Haloscan?

@Jaklang,
I’ve removed Haloscan because it makes my blog download slow. Anyway, I’ll be moving to Wordpress pretty soon so I wouldn’t need it. Cheers.

Hi Goonie:
I’m glad you’ve joined SponsoredReviews, I’m sure you’ll find their service useful like I did.
Here are a few tips to improve the acceptance rate of advertisers to your offer.
First of all, you should look for advertisements that are related to your blog topic. Do not offer to review products that are not related to your blog topic as this will only increase your rejected bids. If you look at the products I’ve reviewed, all of them are related to my topic (Blogs, Bloggers and Blogging).
Secondly, you should offer a competitive price. Do not over price as this usually discourages advertisers. So far, the highest price I’ve charged is $50.
Thirdly, work on improving your blog. I’ve visited your blog and here are some things I’ve noticed.
a) From your writing, I can infer that english is probably your second language but since you are using it on your blog, make sure that you minimize spelling mistakes and work on improving your grammar. Although native english writers do commit mistakes and definitely no one is excused from commiting mistakes, this shouldn’t be an excused.
b) Work on improving your blog traffic.
c) Improve your rankings (Technorati, Alexa and Google Page Rank) You can find tips and information about improving your ranking here at Blogging Mix. Feel free to navigate through my pages.
That would be all. Good luck!
