online blogging

Rather than write mushy, self-centric, or showbiz-crazed stuff, a few Pinoy writer-bloggers use their creative juices to publish short reviews of a product, website, or service. Of course, they get paid in the process. Two of the popular sites where you can become a paid blogger are ReviewMe and PayPerPost.

Several Filipinos hang out in sites like Rent-a-Coder, Scriptlance, Getafreelancer, and eLance to offer programming, content writing, web design, or search engine optimization (SEO) services for a fee. Competition among fellow for-hires, though, is tough but once a good reputation is built, clients will ultimately follow. Learn how some PMT members are successfully earning as home-based freelancers in the Freelancers and Home-Based Workers board in the forum.

The most basic way to monetize a site is to have advertising networks such as Google Adsense, Bidvertiser, and AdBrite, among others, serve ads to your site. You add a simple code snippet provided by these networks to your site and when visitors click on the ad units, you get paid. Know the basics of Adsense in the Google Adsense thread or share how much you are earning from it by posting in the Google Adsense Earnings Survey thread.

• 2. Selling Ad Space

Some Filipino webmasters offer customized packages and lease space directly to advertisers. You need to have fresh, valuable content and a consistent amount of high traffic, though, in order to attract advertisers.

Most of the time, Pinoy publishers merely join ad networks where they can sell ad space. Upon signing up, these networks usually provide links that are to be posted in the blog or site in order to receive payment. A few examples of these networks include Blog to Profit, Money4Blogs, Chitika, Crisp Ads, grokAds, Tagword, and Text Link Ads.
