Today I received my first paypal payment from blogging and I was very excited to see the transfer in my paypal account this morning.  I want to tell everyone that anyone can make some money blogging if you have a little time, dedication and patience.  Writing skills help, but I have seen blogs that still make money without very credible writing talent.

I started this blog (so far my only profitable one) on August 23rd 2008.  That is around 6 weeks ago.  I was able to qualify for 3 SocialSpark and 3 PayPerPost opportunities but this was back when my blog was a PR of 2, now that it has been knocked down to PR0 since Saturday, I haven’t been able to qualify for a single post or opportunity, or even gotten any assignments from PayU2Blog.

Anyway, SocialSpark and PayPerPost have a fairly long “pending” period where your money is in pending status and pays out at the end of the next month or cycle.  So I haven’t actually been paid from either of those, even though I have about $15 pending in PayPerPost and $22.50 pending in SocialSpark.

PayU2Blog has been where my real payday is, I was assigned a # of opportunities between September 23rd and October 2nd.  I was able to make $77.50 cents in just 2 weeks of off these opportunities, and the best thing about PayU2Blog, is there is no fighting to try to get a slot in opps, you are given assignments and you do them.  On the downside, you don’t have a choice, you must do all your assignments or you risk not being given anymore.

Here is snapshot of my first payout from PayU2Blog:

Now, as mentioned I haven’t gotten a single Assignment Since October 3rd, which ironically is when my PageRank was whacked by Google. PayU2Blog claims it isn’t based on PR solely, but other factors. I was able to link my other personal blog Justin Germino to my PayU2Blog account, so maybe I can get more assignments with two blogs linked.

Most of the assignments are 50 word freeform using the text link required, you can craft them however you want and they are very easy to do. Just remember to check your account often, PayU2Blog doesn’t email notify when new assignments are given, and they must be completed before the deadline.

Every blogger who wants to try to make money with paid posts should at least try out PayU2Blog, it allowed me to bring in $77.50 in my first 30 days of blogging, which means this one blog already paid for the DNS names of my 3 other blogs and some of my web hosting fee’s. In less than its first month my blog has paid for itself and helped me fund 3 other blogs.

Not to bad for 1 months worth of blogging.
