    I have heard of a few of these services, does anyone know of any that take on new bloggers with under 3 months experience?

    Many Thanks

    You can always practice on blogspot and monetize your content through adsense. As your posts add up, you can easily show your blog to clients here in DP (check the services part) as proof of your skills. You'll be surprised how many clients look for bloggers. :)

    for a few reasons it think you must have some gut to start it

    its true for a beginners yo can try blogger but

    i think for $15 ($2 for dot info domain + $13 for hosting for one year) you can start your own domain and start blogging using WP or something you can handle it, and also you can make as many subdomain

    at the end you will have your own empire blog with one domain and not with somebody domain

    this is what i`m thinking cause at first time i start with blogger too and now i`m very affraid with my PR 3 blogspot cause i hear many blog disappear just like that

    so i think with start invest just for $15 you can start learn what is internet business :D

    PS : i`m sorry if you dont understand my word :)

    I think PayPerPost.com now accepts blogs that have been around for only 2 months.

    Q...

    i suggest that you start first with blogspot. it is user friendly and you are free to create and update various contents or entries for your blog. just be sure that you post relevant and informative topics there. adding google adsense will be the thriller part in blogging :)

    Thanks marcapad15, i'm more of a wordpress man myself. Just looking to make a bit of extra cash for writing a few posts rather than wishing on people clicking adsense.

    grammar is not important. what is important is the content and idea. :)

    You might also try Tex Link Ads. I can't remember what the initial requirements are, but my blog was relatively young when I got accepted. Nice bit of monthly income. I make $30-$50 from TLA on a blog that gets about 250-300 uniques per day.

    Try
    Blogsvertise.com , I've made around $230 in January and $900 in February 2008.
    Requirement: 3 months old blog (blogspot.com is ok), cached by google, PR does not matter, at least 20 post in the blog (this one is based on my experience). Payout per post review is good (around $6-$10), best if you have a blog with PR3 (payout for PR4++ blog almost the same as PR3 blog)
    PayPerPost.com: I've made around $200 (Jan + Feb 2008)
    Requirement 1 old month blog, 10 post in it (TOS just updated, it was 3 months old 30 post), cached by google, not as easy as blogsvertise to register the blog and get it approved.. It's a good 'real' blog they want.
    However PPP wants us to have a disclosure page inside our blog, and that's (I assume) why google catch my blog and dropped my pagerank to zero! You also have to maintain the paid review and non paid post in your blog to 1:2. Your review WILL NOT be approved if posts after and or before the post review is/are also paid post (or they ASSUME it's paid post).
    smorty.com , also good but nowadays it seems that they don't have much opportunity anymore.

    my 2 cents:
    Buy an established/used non dropped domain with PR3 (around $30 -- based my experience), use blogspot as the blog platform but point it to your domain, make post and try to get indexed quickly!

    Good Luck

    I still say you'd be better off creating your own posts and either have affiliate links, or have adsense ads. In the long run, you'll probably make more money especially if you can blog in a popular niche.

    It's GENERAL BLOG/Personal Blog, if you choose particular category aside than general, offers for you will be filtered based on the category thus will eliminate some of it

    veedee - how many blogs do you have to earn that sort of income from blog posting alone?

    do you also have adsense etc set up on your blogs? thanks for the companies I will hav e alook into them.

    I'm just curious, what are your stats? Because some require you to have a certain Alexa rating, Google pagerank, etc.

    But honestly, when my site was under 3 months old, I applied for a bunch of those pay per post sites and was approved by most, if not all of them.

    If Google is slapping blogs with PR nuclear bombs, then services such as payperpost and smorty should abolish PR requirement/basis. Is there any monetized blog service requiring high PR for blogs to be accepted into the program?
