Do you do sponsored post or sponsored reviews? If you do (or plan to), this review of Blog Paycheck by Gobala Krishnan will shed some light on the topic. Even if you have never heard of such stuff, you should read this to add more options to your blogging income. After all, as Gobala says you can make anywhere between $5 - $200 for each blog post you write.

So lets get on with the review of Blog Paycheck, which you can find here.

Gobala is one of the more “unorthodox” bloggers you can find, and from his site at ProfitBlogger.com he has already released several e-book guides on making money from Google AdSense and affiliate marketing. However, Blog Paycheck talks about something completely different.

When the blogosphere exploded in 2006/07, thousands of blogs were being created every single day, with overworked individuals hoping to cash in on the trend and be a “work-at-home blogger”. The hype was high, but the problem was that most bloggers wanted to get paid immediately.

The blogosphere responded to these needs, with companies like PayPerPost.com leading the paid-to-blog industry. Early on, blogging for the purposes of making money received a lot of criticism from big-name bloggers, but eventually people started accepting paid blogging as a viable, honest way to make a living online.

Blog Paycheck is well-written and is suitable for both newbies and non-newbies (is there such a word?). Of course you can just go to PayPerPost.com right now and sign-up with them without ever having to read it, but I found that there are tons of great information in here that will help you make more money with less time and effort.

How much can you realistically expect to make from paid blogging?

Normally, you can earn a few hundred dollars a month by writing 1-2 blog posts a day. Since these blog posts aren’t too long and all the information is already provided, it’s pretty easy to do that. Once your blog picks up more traffic, it gets re-evaluated and you can start charging more for writing the exact same content.

The leaders in the paid blogging industry make a few thousands dollars a month, enough to make a comfortable full-time income on the Internet. Plus, they are free to work whenever they want, wherever they want. This is why paid blogging is so appealing - with not much skills or technical knowledge, any ordinary person can make money from blogs right from the start.

The guide explains how paid blogging works, the do’s and dont’s, and gives you more than 20 different paid blogging sites you can sign-up with. It also explains the different type of content and model each site uses - for example some of those sites only do “reviews” or “buzz” type of articles. It’s important to understand that if you want to make a great income from paid blogging, you’ll need to sign-up with more than just one site.

The guide also comes with some pretty decent WordPress themes that you can use with your blog to manage your content.

Overall, at the low price, I think Blog Paycheck is a great investment for anyone who wants to add more flexibility to their online income. You can click here to get more information on Blog Paycheck by Gobala Krishnan (a.k.a The Profit Blogger).

Some of you may already know this - you can get paid to write your blog posts. It’s called “paid blogging” or “sponsored blogging” -  sometimes even referred to as “paid reviews” - but it all works the same way.

So how does paid blogging work? How can you get paid from Fortune 500 companies and even small businesses to write about their product, service or event?

When the blogosphere exploded in 2006/07, thousands of blogs were being created every single day, with overworked individuals hoping to cash in on the trend and be a “work-at-home blogger”. The hype was high, but the problem was that most bloggers wanted to get paid immediately.

The blogosphere responded to these needs, with companies like PayPerPost.com leading the paid-to-blog industry. Early on, blogging for the purposes of making money received a lot of criticism from big-name bloggers, but eventually people started accepting paid blogging as a viable, honest way to make a living online.

Down the road, more paid blogging companies sprung up, which includes ReviewMe.com and also SponsoredReviews.com - taking the stand of offering “honest” and “unbiased” reviews. At the moment there are no fewer than 20 paid blogging companies you can sign-up with and make money from.

When you sign-up for a company, you’re required to submit your blog details, so make sure you have a blog up and running with at least 30 days worth of acceptable content. After you’ve submitted your details, your blog will be reviewed and approved.

Then, you can search the company’s marketplace for “opportunities”, which are basically listings create by businesses who want you to blog about their product or service. When you find a suitable opportunity, you can use the information provided (take note of the requirements too) and blog about it. When you’re done, report back to the listing and you get paid whatever amount of money the advertiser has promised.

Now of course, the companies that offer these paid blogging services also take their cut, which is anywhere from 30-50%. The rest is paid to you after you reach a certain payout limit.

Today I’m going to review a product called “Super Affiliate Blogger” by Gobala Krishnan that promises to reveal how normal affiliates can upgrade themselves to “Super Affiliate” status using WordPress blogs and a few tactics.

Click here to see the actual page.

1. Overall Impression

I’ve seen a couple of “sale page” sites selling all sorts of things, and the first thing you’ll notice with Super Affiliate Blogger is the long sales page explaining what the product is about and why you should buy it. However unlike most sales pages this one is relatively clean and easy to read. In fact, which browsing through the sales page I found some rather interesting tips about affiliate marketing with blogs.

It sure helps that Gobala has some screenshots to prove how much money he’s personally making from affiliate programs. At least he seems to be walking the walk and not just talking big. I also noticed some rather simple but attractive WordPress themes that Gobala calls “Super Affiliate Pro Themes”; apparently they were specifically designed for affiliate marketers who want to use WordPress blogs and PPC advertising with Google AdWords or similar programs.

2. The E-book Guide and Tips

I’m not new to blogging, but I found the 168-page e-book guide rather revealing, especially when Gobala starts talking about creating landing pages with your blog to maximize all the traffic you’re getting from Google AdWords and other advertising methods.

To my surprise the tips were easy to understand, and Gobala really writes in simple language that I’m sure anyone can understand. The first section of the e-book is great is you’re totally new to blogging, but if you just want the advanced tips you should jump ahead to the meat of the content about affiliate marketing, tracking links, landing pages and building an opt-in list.

3. Super Affiliate Themes

I didn’t get it at first, I mean how different can these themes be from all the other WordPress themes out there? So i tested a few and I realize why Gobala says these themes are built for affiliate marketing / PPC advertising. There are a few “landing page” templates in there that makes this theme so flexible that you can basically show a different layout to normal visitors, and a more streamlined landing page to visitors coming from paid advertising.

4. Link Tracking and List Building

There are also two WordPress plugins included in this system, one for tracking and cloaking affiliate links, and the other for creating opt-in forms (subscribe forms) on your blog. Both work perfectly out of the box and I have no complaints here. I admit I have seen more advanced link tracking systems out there but these are usually expensive and do not integrate with WordPress as easy as Gobala’s system does.

5. My Conclusion and Recommendation

I recommend that you get a copy of Super Affiliate Blogger by Gobala Krishnan is you plan to make affiliate marketing the main monetization model for your blog. The guide is good for both newbies and non-newbies (is that a word) as it covers everything you need to know about blogging, WordPress, affiliate marketing and PPC advertising.

Affiliate marketing is a great way to make money from your blog. After all, affiliate marketing is a zero-risk, high margin monetization model especially if you’re promoting digital goods like e-books, software or even themes and templates. No customer support emails to answer and if done correctly it can be completely hands-free, putting cash in your pocket for months or even years to come.

However, there are a few things you need to know when trying to promote affiliate products from your blog. These things are important to make sure you don’t burn a hole right through your pocket.

1. Which Products Do You Promote?

You’ll notice that almost every other product has an affiliate program that you can join (mostly for free), and start promoting online from your blog. Depending on the type of product, your commissions can range from 2% to 8% (physical goods) or even up to 75% for digital goods. There are tons of products to choose from, but that doesn’t mean that you should go out and promote all the products you can get your hands on!

Not all products are created equal - some are better that others. Not all affiliate opportunities are created equal either. Just because a product is great, it doesn’t mean that it will sell. The “conversion rate” of a product depends entirely on a few things out of your control, for example the sales copy, the overall sales process and the available market for the product.

However, learning how to recognize good products to promote is something totally in your control. When you learn to recognize a few vital clues, you’ll be able to tell if an affiliate product will sell from your blog, or if it will just waste precious real estate on your pages. One good guide that teaches you how to find great affiliate products is “Super Affiliate Blogger” by Gobala Krishnan.

2. Getting Traffic to Your Blog

Content is important, but traffic is even more important. Without enough traffic to be making a few affiliate sales a month, you’ll eventually give up on blogging altogether. Great content on the other hand, gets better appreciation when you learn how to get traffic to your blog.

While the usual methods work, there are a few things you can do to get more traffic. For starters, you can easily get cheap banner advertising on other related blogs who have tons of traffic to give you. By creating a good banner and ensuring good placement, you can start getting fresh new traffic daily.

Another good but more sophisticated way of getting traffic is using PPC or Pay Per Click advertising. Google AdWords is probably the most popular PPC advertising service, but there are other alternatives as well. However, remember that when you’re paying for every click to your website, you’ll want maximize your returns by creating a “landing page” on your blog. The concept of landing pages and how to do it is also explained in Super Affiliate Blogger.

3. Tracking Your Affiliate Links

If you’re just promoting a handful of affiliate links on a handful of pages, you can easily keep track of what’s going on. However if you start to venture further and try to put your affiliate links on many pages and on different blogs, you’re looking at a lot of work when it comes to managing and tracking those links.

Any self-respecting affiliate marketer would invest in some sort of link cloaking / tracking software that at the click of a button, will give you the “big picture” of what’s happening with your affiliate marketing campaign. How else can you know which affiliate links are being clicked on, and which ones aren’t seeing any action. How else can you determine which products aren’t selling well, and which ones are working great for your particular blog?

Affiliate marketing is simple, and fun. But to break the barriers and start making a five-figure monthly income from your blog, you’ll need to think and act like a “Super Affiliate”. These guys aren’t any smarter than you or me; they just do the right things at the right time.
