Blog links for Money – Paid Blogging

I found this while searching the net. To date I have only had two offers to take and I think both were related to the company. So I won’t say this is a big money maker as of yet but the popularity of paid blogging is increasing so this company may grow.

The difference between this paid blogging site and others is that you are working more directly with the advertisers. The advertisers pay you not Blog Links for Money.

I have been paid by the advertiser that I blogged for. All I was required to do was to use a link with no required text with one post and give a short description of the site with the other link.

 Here is the description they give on their homepage:

Blog Links for Money has one purpose, and one purpose only, and that is to put site owners in contact with bloggers. For site owners, being mentioned on blogs can drive traffic. For bloggers, being paid to blog can inspire more, longer and better blogs as well as provide a source of income.

At Blog Links for Money site owners advertise to buy blogs linking to their site. Bloggers then register their interest in writing these blogs and the site owners accept or reject them. The accepted bloggers write the blogs and provide links to the finished articles, after that the site owner pays the bloggers.

Payments are always made between the site owner and the blogger, Blog Links for Money is never a part of this transaction. This means that there is no minimum payout, no “payments sent once a month” and you always know who you’re doing business with. Blog Links for Money recommends that you become a verified user of PayPal, doing this will make you more trustworthy in the eyes of potential buyers/sellers. Blog Links for Money does not provide any guarantees about the quality of the blogs offering to link, or that the site owners are actually going to pay you once you’ve blogged about their site. Site owners are responsible for investigating the blogs offering to provide links. Bloggers can always remove links if payment fails. We are looking at how we could provide some form of reputation system, but the user will always be responsible for deciding who to trust.

Why Should You Get Out of Debt?

It’s seems that many of us are believing the lie that society is telling about what we need to have to be happy. We are being fed “buy more stuff” all the time. Many people don’t even consider buying used items but cause “new” is so much better. At least that is what the commericals tell us. Debt is a part of life. We will always have debt. Are some other lies that we a fed on a daily basis.

I am not here to try and convince you that new things are not nice to have. I love things and I wish I could have more things. But should things take over our lives? Purchasing the stuff we want so much, but not having the money to do it is what concerns me  What ever happen to buying things with money you have?

How does debt really effect our lives? Debt keeps us from owning, saving, and planning. Debt makes our lives a never ending cycle of payment to payment. Debt will never give you financial freedom. What is financial freedom? Financial freedom is being able to purchase with cash, having an emergency fund, and having a savings and investing plan for the future. It’s about taking responsiblity for your finances.

These principles are all things I learned from Dave Ramsey’s book “The Total Money Makeover“. He just put everything in perspective for our family.  My husband and I have decided never to borrow money again. We don’t want to live in the endless cycle of payment to payment.

It’s up to you to make the choices for your family but I encourage you to read Dave Ramsey’s book and make a discussion based on facts about what debt does to your family.

Just ask yourself these question before you decide to purchase something on borrowed money, “Do I really need this right now?” Could I save my money and buy it later? It took me a while to actually ask this question and give a real honest answer. I often get hung up on the “sales”. “But it’s on “sale” and I won’t be able to find it this cheap again”.  That type of mentality can get you into big trouble. It took some practicing but I often ask myself these questions now. “Did I budget for this item? Do I really have the money for this item? Most of the time my answers would be no and therefore I couldn’t justify buying it.

My hope is that this blog will help you avoid some of the very bad financial mistakes my husband and I have made over the past 15 years.  Bottom line, DEBT is BAD!
