Lesson Learned on Pricing My Services
Since Sponsored Reviews had made the announcement to their members that 20% of their blogs in their system are overpriced, I took the time to rethink about the pricing that I had set on my blogs. The other blog was priced at $40 per review because of its PR4 rank, while this one costs $20 each. Since I was not getting noticed by advertisers, I might as well pull down the cost of my blogs.
It did not take a long while before I got the first invitation to write a post – surprisingly it was from an advertiser whom I wrote a post not too long ago. Yesterday I even got two more advertisers who invited me to their opportunities. Interestingly, the payments that I’ll receive from those three advertisers are double than what I normally bid.
I’m glad I took my own advice on the pricing and applied it.

I got five jobs bids approved! That was the most number of post writing that I got in a day!
Sponsored Reviews is a pretty decent company. I have used PayPerPost in the past, and they’re good also.
The only downside to using services like these is that Google will penalize your blog/site ranking for posting sponsored reviews. I know many people who had PR4+ sites and were dropped to PR0 just because they had the PayPerPost code on their blog.
Be careful!

I’ve read that concern in many blogs. I got a PR4 rank on that other blog and I’m also careful. This is why this is a pressure for me, to put up sponsored content and provide non-sponsored content at the same time.
If you’ve heard of SocialSpark, even PR0 blogs like this one gets some writing opportunities too. I’ve done a lot of posts for them recently.
Hmm . . . this is interesting ! I’ve heard about them but have not really checked them out yet. I was just not sure if this was legitimate company. I guess, now, I will have to get my ball rolling
. Thanks for posting this !

One good way to check for legit online jobs is to get payment proof. Another is to ask your colleagues!
Sponsored Reviews does not cost a bit, so it will not hurt if you decide to do some paid posts from that site.
Good luck!
