Blogging for Dollars: Blogitive.com
In continuing our “Blogging for Dollars” series, the next “get paid to blog” company we will discuss is Blogitive. Blogitive is one of the earliest successful pay per blog post companies, having hit the scene in early 2006.
Like similar companies, Blogitive pays bloggers to post advetisements for their clients as blog posts, requiring certain links and link text. Instead of offering a different amount per post, Blogitive pays five dollars for every post, and has the same requirements for each post. All of your Blogitive posts must be at least 100 words long, and be separated by two 50 word non-Blogitive posts. Also, Blogitive only allows their advertisers one hyperlinked phrase, unlike some other blog advertisement companies. This makes it much easier for bloggers since they don’t need to remember to post multiple links, images, or tracking images for Blogitive ads.
Also unlike many other blog advertising companies, Blogitive pays $5 per post. No more, no less. Although some other companies like PayPerPost pay more per blog post, Blogitive only makes you wait a week to get your money. This makes the slightly lower payment per post acceptable since you don’t have to wait as long for payday. Blogitive pays by PayPal, and normally pays at the beginning of the week. There doesn’t seem to be a specific day that they pay, but it is normally between Sunday night and Tuesday.
Blogitive used to accept blogs from sites like WritingUp and BloggerParty, but they have just recently (early December 2006) had to discontinue supporting those blogs due to problems with those companies cancelling bloggers’ accounts. While that is unfortunate in the short term, and has decreased my potential for earnings personally, it is better in the long run to host your own blog anyway. I could go into the many reasons, but may just delve into that in a later post, instead of going off topic now.
I have been very happy with Blogitive, and while I haven’t made as much as I have through PayPerPost, I would definitely say that Blogitive is a great addition to your blog funding arsenal.
