Get Paid to Write Blog Content

Some of you may already know this - you can get paid to write your blog posts. It's called "paid blogging" or "sponsored blogging" - sometimes even referred to as "paid reviews" - but it all works the same way.

So how does paid blogging work? How can you get paid from Fortune 500 companies and even small businesses to write about their product, service or event?

When the blogosphere exploded in 2006/07, thousands of blogs were being created every single day, with overworked individuals hoping to cash in on the trend and be a "work-at-home blogger". The hype was high, but the problem was that most bloggers wanted to get paid immediately.

Super Affiliate Blogger by Gobala Krishnan

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money from your blog, and the fact that it's almost completely hands-free (or autopilot as they say) makes it all the more appealing to a lot of bloggers. Now there are the normal affiliates who make a couple hundred dollars a month, then there are the "Super Affiliates", a title which is usually given to affiliates making a five figure monthly income or more.

Today I'm going to review a product called "Super Affiliate Blogger" by Gobala Krishnan that promises to reveal how normal affiliates can upgrade themselves to "Super Affiliate" status using WordPress blogs and a few tactics. You can see the actual page here: Super Affiliate Blogger

(1) Overall Impression

I've seen a couple of "sale page" sites selling all sorts of things, and the first thing you'll notice with Super Affiliate Blogger is the long sales page explaining what the product is about and why you should buy it. However unlike most sales pages this one is relatively clean and easy to read. In fact, which browsing through the sales page I found some rather interesting tips about affiliate marketing with blogs.

It sure helps that Gobala has some screenshots to prove how much money he's personally making from affiliate programs. At least he seems to be walking the walk and not just talking big. I also noticed some rather simple but attractive WordPress themes that Gobala calls "Super Affiliate Pro Themes"; apparently they were specifically designed for affiliate marketers who want to use WordPress blogs and PPC advertising with Google AdWords or similar programs.

(2) The E-book Guide and Tips

I'm not new to blogging, but I found the 168-page e-book guide rather revealing, especially when Gobala starts talking about creating landing pages with your blog to maximize all the traffic you're getting from Google AdWords and other advertising methods.

To my surprise the tips were easy to understand, and Gobala really writes in simple language that I'm sure anyone can understand. The first section of the e-book is great is you're totally new to blogging, but if you just want the advanced tips you should jump ahead to the meat of the content about affiliate marketing, tracking links, landing pages and building an opt-in list.

(3) Super Affiliate Themes

I didn't get it at first, I mean how different can these themes be from all the other WordPress themes out there? So i tested a few and I realize why Gobala says these themes are built for affiliate marketing / PPC advertising. There are a few "landing page" templates in there that makes this theme so flexible that you can basically show a different layout to normal visitors, and a more streamlined landing page to visitors coming from paid advertising.

(4) Link Tracking and List Building

There are also two WordPress plugins included in this system, one for tracking and cloaking affiliate links, and the other for creating opt-in forms (subscribe forms) on your blog. Both work perfectly out of the box and I have no complaints here. I admit I have seen more advanced link tracking systems out there but these are usually expensive and do not integrate with WordPress as easy as Gobala's system does.

(5) My Conclusion and Recommendation

I recommend that you get a copy of Super Affiliate Blogger by Gobala Krishnan is you plan to make affiliate marketing the main monetization model for your blog. The guide is good for both newbies and non-newbies (is that a word) as it covers everything you need to know about blogging, WordPress, affiliate marketing and PPC advertising.

Using Blogs with Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money from your blog. After all, affiliate marketing is a zero-risk, high margin monetization model especially if you're promoting digital goods like e-books, software or even themes and templates. No customer support emails to answer and if done correctly it can be completely hands-free, putting cash in your pocket for months or even years to come.

However, there are a few things you need to know when trying to promote affiliate products from your blog. These things are important to make sure you don't burn a hole right through your pocket.

How to Make Money Blogging

When I started blogging to make money online, a few things become apparent to me. The most important is the significant difference between "active income" and "passive income". Let me explain.

"Active income" is the amount of money you make while you're actively blogging, writing, leaving comments, submitting articles and marketing your blog. "Passive income" on the other hand is residual in nature, and it's how much money you can earn if you suddenly stopped doing all of the things above. Understanding the benefits of both can help you decide which ones to focus on.
