Blogsvertise
Blogsvertise is an ad programme that’s basically similar to ReviewMe and PayPerPost.
There are two ways to make money directly from this programme:
1) Sign up as a blogger/publisher and be available to write sponsored posts (otherwise known as ‘tasks’).
and/or
2) Recruit advertisers using their affiliate programme. More info on this later in this post.
As a blogger/publisher, you basically just register your blog and wait for a ‘task’ to be assigned to you. Acceptance to the programme isn’t so difficult. You just need to have a blog that’s been active for 30 days or more. If not, your blog might be put on probation (with lesser payment). And, no pornographic/adult material will be accepted. Read More on Guidelines/Rules.
When assigned a task, you need to write a permanent entry that’s at least 75 words long (2-3 paragraphs) within 5 days of being assigned. Bloggers do not need to endorse the product or website that they’re writing about. You can write anything you want - from reviews to simply mentioning it in a neutral fashion, as long you meet the word requirement and you put about 3 or more links to the site.
Publishers are informed of payment fees based on each task. According to their Blogger FAQ: The current payout rate for new accounts is $4 - $25 per entry. Most will fall into the $5-15 range. Payout Rates will vary and are frequently based on popularity/traffic of blog as measured by independent third parties.
In terms of getting paid, publishers are meant to receive payment within 30 days of approval. All payments are sent via PayPal. And, it looks like there aren’t any payment thresholds.
Blogsvertise also run an affiliate programme. But, they only pay you for qualified advertisers (i.e., no compensation for recruiting other bloggers/publishers). Payment for such referrals is 20% of the total fees that the advertiser spends on Blogsvertise. For example, if you recruited an advertiser and this advertiser spends US$500 on Blogsvertise, you get paid US$100. You have to be a registered user in order to create your affiliate ID link.

I’ve signed up in their Blogger/Publisher programme a few weeks ago using my ‘test blog site’, Chrysalis Creativity. I’ll keep you posted on how it goes. If you’ve used the programme in any way, let me know what you think of it too.

Not having any other payment methods other than Paypal is what makes me sad about Blogsvertise.

Yeah, I guess that can be a down side to this programme.
