Smorty : November 2008 Income

I never thought that I can avail opportunities from smorty because every time I checked on their site there were no available campaigns for me to grab or take. I was just surprised one day that I got plenty of opps on the right column of their page. That was the first time I saw how their campaigns looked like. I noticed that all of the opps are $9.00 per posting. I have only successfully made post for 2 posts and after a hour all other post were taken.

For November 2008, I earned $18.00 from the two approved post. I also declined some posts because there are opps that requires not to have badges or banners from other blog marketing sites or some sponsored labels and tiny url codes.

PayperPost: November 2008 Income

Whew! Second month in Payperpost. Last month October 2008, I only earned $15.00 for 3 opportunities taken. This month November 2008, I earned $ 80.o2 for 12 opps taken and $10 as the highest paid post. Here are the reasons that contributes for this month's income:

Last month my Page Rank is Zero, so low change for many opps.
When I checked my Page Rank is 2, I have plenty of opps available for me with much higher amount per opps.
I also declined some qualified opps for personal reasons that were more important than posting.
In PPP or payperpost, after reserving a certain opportunity, you only have 6 hours to complete before you can avail another task/s and take note that you are only allowed 3 opps within 24 hours, so better choice the opps with higher payment.

SocialSpark: November 2008 Income

This is my second month for SocialSparks sponsored posts. Last month October 2008, I earned $ 63.25 for 9 opportunities taken.

This month, November 2008 I earned $ 54.01 with 10 opportunities. Here are some reasons that contributes for this month earnings:

I only got 10 opportunities taken.
The highest paid post the I got is only $ 7.50 while last month I got $16.25
My real rank influenced my qualification for taking some opps.
I sometimes declined some opps due to other important personal matters than making post.


It really takes a hard work for watching an opportunity every moment. Also there are many bloggers who were watching and if you are lucky you can get and reserved many. And that you only have 12 hours to make the post or else it will be given to another blogger. I often reserved certain opportunity but fail to make a post.

PayperPost: October 2008 Income $15.00

So far, I was not lucky enough to take more opportunity in PayperPost. There are several factors:

• My Google Page Rank is Zero


• Other bloggers had already reserved all my post where I qualify


• Some advertisers exclude blogger domains

This $15.00 income for 3 approved post dated October 19, 20 and 27, 2008. So far, I do not have rejected post in PPP.

SocialSpark: October 2008 Income $ 63.25

Out of 9 opportunities that I had taken from October 15, 2008 - October 31, 2008, 1 blog post was rejected due to the adverstiser's requirement that blogger should be in the US Continental, unfortunately I am in Hawaii. But that was okay, At least I've learned a lesson to read carefully the requirements before taking the opp and before posting.
