Get paid to blog with Smorty

Amid all this hoopla about Google going after paid posting, I going to do a “eff-you” review about another paid posting site. It’s good to have alternate options to everything, so that you won’t have the rug swept up from under you.

Smorty works like any other paid review site. You sign up for free, submit your blog for approval and look out for opportunities to give your opinions. It seems that every opinion article on my list is worth $6.00. So if you are an advertiser, Smorty provides an inexpensive blog advertising. Form a blogger point of view, $6.00 seems little, especially if you are a high ranking blog. But for smaller blogs, $6.00 per article is reasonable since the average at Payperpost (PPP) is about $5.00. According to the FAQ, you will be given higher value opportunities if you have a higher PageRank. But now that Google is going after paid posting, I hope Smorty will use their own smart score system more to determine a blogs ranking.

What I like best about Smorty is its weekly payment system. After you have your articles approved, the next weekly payment will be your payment date. There are no minimum payment and it will be pay via Paypal.

The interface is very simple with you stats table on the left and the opportunities on the right sidebar. When you accept an opportunity, you will find it on your pending task with details of your task and the time left for you to finish this article. You will be given 3 days to finish, as opposed to 6 hours for PPP. One thing I am worried about may be the lack of opportunities. At the moment I have 4. Will I get more when I finished them. We’ll see.

One thing that irritates me is the long review time for PPP. For Smorty, according to the FAQ, it will take 5 days to approve. I hope Smorty will shorten the process and it will not take the full 5 days for every post that I submit.

I am curious about the separation of the affiliated program and the referral program. The referral program earns you 5% commission for every post approved from your referred blogger. But I am not sure what the affiliated program does as I need to join clixgalore to know about it.

Start to get paid for blogging with Smorty now. It is a simple and easy system with a weekly payout, so you will have to worry about meeting the minimum payout. If you want to advertise on blogs, this will be a inexpensive solution. I like it.
