As an affiliate blogger you may have noticed, that the number of ways for you to monetize your
blog to crank out some extra cash is limited only by your imagination. In fact, after re-reading
Chapter 10 in Gobala Krishnan's, Super Affiliate
Blogger manual, and Chapter 7 in Alvin Phang's Atomic
Blogging, it occurred to me that by combining a little creativity with the points made by Gobala
and Alvin on how to use and monetize a blog, the possibilities were indeed endless. Let me give you
an example of what I'm talking about.
I went to see the new Batman flick, "The Dark Knight" last weekend (Excellent movie, by the way).
So, I guess I was more aware than usual of Batman-related headlines in the course of casual surfing.
One particular headline that caught my attention was for an article that discussed the notion of
there being a correlation between high volumes of traffic going to Batman-related web sites in a
given week, and box-office receipts for the movie being high for the same week.
Of course, the old wheels began to turn as I recalled the points from my reading about the
similarities between blogging and writing for a magazine. That's when it hit me...Movie
Reviews!
What if there was a way to get paid for writing a review on your blog about a movie you liked or
disliked? Well, guess what...there's a way to do just that!
All you have to do is take a page from Gobala Krishnan's Blog Paycheck, apply the techniques from
Chapter 10 of Super Affiliate Blogger, and bingo!...You can get paid for writing movie reviews on
your blog.
The basic idea is to put a twist on the process that I talked about in the article
How to Squeeze at Least $300 Out of a Brand New Blog Without Selling a Thing
Specifically, here's the rundown...
1. Establish an account with a Get Paid to Blog service.
2. Add code to your site that allows others to be paid to review your blog posts by selecting a
Get Paid to Review button.
3. Post a movie review on your blog that others can be paid to comment on by selecting your Get
Paid to Review button.
4. When someone selects your Get Paid to Review button and they submit their commentary on your
movie review for approval by the Get Paid to Blog service that both you and your review reader are
members of, when their commentary is approved, they get paid and so do you!
5. How about that! You've just become a paid Movie Reviewer on your own blog!
