A Review On Paid Post Sites – Last Batch

The rest of my reviews on paid-post sites covers a handful more. I decided to combine them since I only have brief comments to say about each.

Being a member of this one for a few months, I haven’t seen this one grow in the way of opportunities much — not much at all. I do like that they email me when they do have new opportunities. They also, within the past month I think, have allowed bloggers to add more than one blog to their account — a nice way to increase your money provided you commit to making unique content for each review.

What I like

• Being able to add more than one blog
• Emails sent when new opportunities arise

What I don’t like

• Having to identify if I’m a blogger or advertiser every time I log in
• Lack of choices to review
• Inefficient use of space on their site

Blogsvertise
What happened with this one? When I signed up with them one of the requirements was for me to write a review with a link back to them. This was to make sure I understood how to do it.

Unlike the other services I’ve reviewed so far, you are given assignments instead of you choosing them. I’m fine with that, but I’m still waiting on those assignments.

I wish I could tell you more, but sadly, there isn’t any.

Bloggerwave
Another one that hasn’t seen much growth. They redesigned their site, which makes it look snazzy, but again, they’re a little short on opportunities. They had the same two for about, gosh, maybe two months!

What I find interesting though is on their dashboard they list the “top dog bloggers”. With only two opportunities to review, this list keeps changing. How is that possible?

Back when I wrote a review for the service, their CEO, Ulrik Thomsen, dropped by to comment on the post. He reassured bloggers that changes are coming. The site redesign came, but still waiting on opportunities to make some cash.

Blogitive
Almost not even worth mentioning. I signed up and never got a response.

If you like to review on breast implants, liposuction, plastic surgery, hotels and resorts, then this is the place for you. Can’t say much more than that.

ReviewMe
I was going to include this one in the “short on opportunities” category, but after logging in this morning I found two offers that I “may be interested in”, so say the ReviewMe guys. Admittedly, up until today, nothing has ever shown up.

I’ve read other blogs who have had success writing for this service, but always wondered why it wasn’t so for me. Guess it was a matter of time, but a word of advice and this goes for any service where you categorize your blog: if no opportunities are forthcoming, it could be that you should rework your blog description and category. Give it a shot for a while and if nothing happens, ask the service for tips.
