Blogitive - Get Paid to Blog - Make Money Blogging

In light of the recent news regarding Blogitive removing some of the blogs hosts that are not Blogitive friendly I decided to write about some of the options available. First of all those of you who have blogs hosted on the “blacklist”, try not to panic.

You may not realize this but transferring your blog to your own host is actually better for you in the long run. Blogging has becoming a way for regular “Joes” to generate an income. Paid blogging, Affiliate Marketing and Adsense are a few of the options available to bloggers these days. Whatever you choose to do don’t limit yourself by limiting your blog growth. (more…)

In a rare instance of helpfulness, our hosting provider, Media Temple, has let us know that they will be performing a major update on our servers between 11:30pm – 3:30am. They did not specify the time zone, but I would assume that it is PST.

So, Blogitive MAY be down between those times, but hopefully not.

The goal for Blogitive is to create a market place for all bloggers to make money. Unfortunately some companies disagree with that vision, and have a limited ability to block it, at least for their users.

Starting on Dec. 4th, we will no longer be able to accept or provide offers to blog hosted on services like writingup.com and blogparty.com. There is a short list of these types of sites that allow you to post content on their site, and then add your AdSense account info to earn money trough clicks. I will not name the companies, but we have gotten at least two companies like these that object to Blogitive being used on their network and have pulled down pages, as well as closed accounts. We are going through our network one-by-one, if you use one of the networks we are discontinuing, we will let you know through email. (more…)

I get the occasional email from people asking me how I would suggest they create posts for Blogitive. There is also a lot of debate right now about disclosing sponsored postings, and whether or not Blogitive should insist on it. I invite your feedback below, but here are my personal feelings on this issue.

First, feel free to check out how I use Blogitive. My personal blog is www.oneblogtoomany.com. (It’s under a little construction right now, so please excuse the potential mess when you get there) You will notice that I don’t get to post as many Blogitive releases as I would like, and I of course don’t want to take opportunities from our users by doing them myself. But when I do post I use 2 different ways of posting. (more…)
