Get Paid to Blog by Smorty

Smorty is a service like several others where you can get paid to blog. Advertisers pay you to blog about their website or product. I haven't used Smorty before today and I am experimenting with how they perform against blog advertising services.

Good and Bad

I like several things about smorty. First off, all of my blogs have qualified so far, and each have had several opportunities to take. The price has been pretty consistent at 6$ per opportunity.

What I dislike so far is there lack of information about the website. There isn't a FAQ section, or really a terms of service. They don't tell you when you will be paid for your post. There is a section displaying my "Smorty Score", but no information what the score is even about.

Smorty definitely has a few kinks to work out and I hope they can broaden their advertisers to get more desirable opportunities. Compared to other services they are still young and do have a long way to go.

Cheaper Than Hotels in Australia

Whether you are planning for the holidays or something comes up last minute, you can count on Cheaper Than Hotels for year round accommodation at fair prices. By booking through them you can often get free extras such as breakfast.

Cheaper than Hotels are currently promoting their Australia hotels, like deals on Sydney Hotels and Melbourne Hotels. Prices for hotels in Sydney start as low as 40 AUD, and prices for Brisbane Hotels can be as low as 65 AUD.

Easy To Book

Not only is traveling fun, but it is also a big business. There is a lot of competition for travel sites to get your business. Each one has to have lower rates for you to use them. Easy to Book tries to make it easy and affordable. They specialize in cheap hotels.

Easy to Book offers listings for Barcelona hotels. These hotels rate anywhere from 1 stars to 5 stars. You can also find hotels in Rome. There are tons of different types of hotels to chose from. Small family hotels, chain hotels, luxury hotels or low budget hotels. You can definitely find some deals on sites like Easy to Book instead of going directly to the hotel.

Market Your Blog

After you've created a blog with content that you are happy with you can't sit back and wait for advertisers and visitors. That is why internet marketing is so important. People need to know your blogs exist! They aren't going to magically find your site, google isn't always the answer.

I've had great success as of late and that is partly due to Webmaster Forum. Instead of sitting back and waiting for advertisers, which almost never works, I've been doing my own online marketing. Forums can be a powerful tool to further promote your blog or website, and really entice advertisers.
