Blog Distributor: A New Get Paid To Blog Company

By Regina Paul

Like most people who work from home, I'm always on the look out for new ways to earn money online. One of the most recent trends I've seen are people being paid to blog. If you're a blogger this is definitely one way you can make some decent cash.

Blog Distributor is one of the newer companies that is willing to pay cash to bloggers in exchange for posts about particular topics or products.

There are several advantages to signing up with Blog Distributor such as, unlike many of the paid to blog opportunities, Blog Distributor pays weekly via paypal and there is no minimum amount to cash out, everyone just gets paid whatever is in their accounts once per week. This means of course that as long as your posts are accepted after being reviewed you can expect to be paid.

Another advantage to getting paid to blog with Blog Distributor is that the minimum payment for a posting is $5. However, you can be paid much more depending on the amount of traffic that gets to your blog. A few other nice things about Blog Distributor are that your posts only have to be 100 words, and you can word them how you'd like except for profanity, or hateful and violent language. Having that nifty word limit actually means you can make much more because you can take on more opportunities when you only have to write 100 words for each one. Also Blog Distributor does not wait 30 days before checking blog postings, they do it within 48-72 hours. While your posting can be rejected, they usually will give you 24 hours to make corrections and thus still earn the money.

There are a few disadvantages though, and that is that Blog Distributor does not have a referral program. Since referrals are one nifty way you can make extra cash doing these kinds of things, it's kind of a bummer that Blog Distributor doesn't have such a program.

A second disadvantage is that rather than posting jobs on a board where you can go and pick them up, Blog Distributor instead notifies you by e-mail when a blogging job comes up that matches your blog, and you must reserve it if you want that opportunity. Another disadvantage at least in some people's eyes is that you cannot put anywhere in a paid for posting that says it's a paid for posting. Even with these two disadvantages though, in my opinion, Blog Distributor's advantages outweigh its disadvantages.

Here's how Blog Distributor works. You have to have a blog, and there must be 20 blog postings in 90 days at least. Also, your blog must be indexed by Google. If its not your blog will be automatically rejected. So, providing you meet the two above requirements, then you sign up for an account with Blog Distributor. If you want you can have more than one blog with them, but the posts you do for each blog must be unique, you cannot cut and paste content from one Blog Distributor posting into another blog and get paid for each one.

Once your blog has been approved, when there are jobs that match the content of your blog you will receive an e-mail and then you must reserve that job. You then have 24 hours to complete the posting. If you do not then the job is sent to another blogger, and you lose the opportunity.

So, it is imperative that you check your junk mail box regularly for jobs in the event that for some reason your e-mail thinks these e-mails are spam. Then your posting is reviewed within 48-72 hours and either accepted or rejected. If it is rejected most of the time you will be given 24 hours to fix what is wrong and resubmit it.
