Where to Start Making Money For Your Blog

By P Mandown

So you want to make money blogging? Like most of you out there, I started my blog with the same intent. I didn't want a lot of expenses starting out, but I wanted to make money right away, a lot of money. What I quickly found, however, was the unlikely event of that ever happening. It takes time to make money online from scratch. Much less get your blog moving in the direction that makes you money without knowing exactly how to do it.

I poured over the internet in search of ideas that would cost me as little as possible, and I found all the schemes promising me all the money I'd ever need for the rest of my life for just a meager cost. Stupidly, I fell for a few, the really convincing ones [insert convincing pitch here, surrender paycheck]. Then when I realized I was paying out more than I was bringing in, I turned to more practical ways of making money online.

Enter Cashcrate. Cashcrate, a Get Paid To site (or GPT), pays you to fill out offers from their sponsors. It's free to join and you can make decent money while waiting for your blog to take off.

What you're doing is providing Cashcrate's sponsors with leads. Cashcrate gets paid for the leads and they pay you for taking the time to complete the sponsors' offers that generate these leads. Everybody wins.

You're going to get a ton of spam from all the offers, so my advice to you is get a separate email account for this. When filling out the offers use the same info you signed up with Cashcrate with or you won't get credited for the offer.

Skip offers requiring a credit card. Do only the 100% free offers. That way you won't have to keep track of any trial periods you are asked to fulfill.

When it comes time to get paid you've got to have at least twenty dollars in your account. And you won't get your payout until the 20th of the next month. No worries though, you will get paid and you can use that time to fill your blog with content. In the meantime, visit their forum and check out what others have made with the program.

Now the best way to make money online with Cashcrate is with referrals.

There's a 2-tier system to pays you 20%/10% on your referrals and on your referrals' referrals, respectively.

This is where to start making money for your blog while you work on getting backlinks, getting properly SEO'ed and for fine tuning all the other confusing tactics to make money blogging. Take your first payout check and get a domain name, get hosting from somewhere, use that money for your blog setup somehow. Cashcrate enabled me to do it with my blog. You can do it too with yours.
