Bloggers often slap on Google adsense or affiliate banners and hope to make a lot of money. That really isn’t the best way to maximize your income, as you usually can only make a few bucks a month unless you have some serious traffic. Instead you can be proactive and get paid to blog by writing sponsored posts. It is the newest and most profitable form of blog advertising for bloggers. Merchants realize that when they advertise on blogs this way, it is a much more effective advertising tool.

Smorty is one of those networks that allows you to get paid for blogging this way. Smorty pays at least 6 dollars per sponsored post, but many pay much higher than that. You can often make more in one review on smorty, than you would in one month of using Google adsense.

There are 3 important things I like about Smorty. The first is they don’t overly emphasize pagerank for opportunities, as some others do. Some networks if you have a low PR, you almost never get opportunities. I also like the fact you can pick and choose your opportunities instead of waiting days or weeks for one to come to you. They also pay weekly by Paypal which is nice. If you want to blog for money, I would highly recommend Smorty.
