Do you have a blog? Is it for fun or profit? What are some of the advantages to blogging? You can blog to share your life with family and friends. You can blog like you are writing a journal, just to get your thoughts out there. Some businesses use blogging as an advertising tactic. Many people though want to blog to make some money. There are quite a few people that have blogs that provide them with a full time income. Most people would like to make a part time income or extra spending money from their blog.

There are several alternative ways to make money from blogs without using Google Adsense. You won't have to use some complicated formula or buy into someone's expensive e-book program. There are no upfront payments made by you, and if you run into programs like that you might be looking at a scam. Have you heard the saying that if you can type you can blog? So if you can blog then theoretically you can make money, right?

If you currently have a blog and want to earn some extra money from it there are two websites that you can go through to finally make your blog pay off for you. The first website is Payu2blog.com the basic requirements are that your blog has been around for over 90 days and you have your own domain name. So that means if you use Blogger or Wordpress free versions they will not approve you.

The second website is PayPerPost.com. This one is a little different in that if you get big enough and good enough you can contact the advertisers yourself and make more money. This site also posts the top blog earners right on the home page and how much money they paid to them for the month. The current top monthly blogger has gotten over $2,000 dollars from PayPerPost.com this month alone. Just think about what they are earning in a month if they are using multiple streams of income. Can you say mentor, it never hurts to ask someone for his or her help. They are saying that you can "easily make $500 a month or more" it will probably be less than that while you are starting out. Unless you already have significant traffic on your blog or you are seriously motivated. Check out their website if you want to learn more about becoming one of their Posties.

During research for this article another site that will pay you for your reviews came into my view. Reviewme.com works the same as the others, if you are approved and complete an acceptable review they will pay you from 20 to $200 dollars for blogging. You have the option to decide to accept the review or not. If you like to tell people what you think of products and services while blogging this could be very lucrative for you.
