There are other ways to get paid to blog
We all know that getting paid to write blog posts is possible. How much you earn depends on how strong your blog is, but many bloggers are apprehensive about denting the quality of their own blogs by filling them up with sponsored reviews. If you fall into this category, you may be interested to know that there are other ways of getting paid to blog.
I’ve been doing a little research, and have already found one person on Digital Point who has agreed to pay me to write articles for two high-ranking, authoritative blogs. Finding him was just a matter of trawling through the forums. And how did I sell myself? Easy: I sent him links to blogs I author, this one not included, and showed him that I can write. He was impressed and gave me the job right away. (Check out my post on writing tips for bloggers).
Not only do I get paid to write (actually, it’s just rewriting) articles for two blogs, but I get to use these articles and blogs to link out to my own blogs. There are hundreds of people with blogs who don’t have the time or the ability to write their own content. Admittedly, not all of them will pay you very well, but if you find one that can offer you a decent package, you should take it and leave your own quality content for your flagship blogs until they have matured.
This is the perfect solution for people with new blogs that don’t yet have a Page Rank or a large number of visitors.
As long as there are articles to be written, there will always be a demand for writers, no matter where you are.

I quite agree with you. The market for writers is big - no matter what you has to say.

Thanks for the tips. It is good to know there are many doors to make money for new bloggers. Cheers!
Hmm…what kind of rates are such sites paying for bloggers to write for them? There are many sponsored posts opportunities which pay from USD5 upwards. Some are easy, some are slightly more difficult. How do you negotiate with the bloggers for the rates?
I wish I could do that. I’m not really any good at writing to begin with. It’s never been a strong point. But if I ever get any better, I’ll be sure to try this out because I’m tired of doing the sponsored post thing.
