We have been blogging for over a year and we’ve tried many opportunities online. We discovered some to be more profitable than the others and some that are not even worth it at all. We’ve come to a conclusion that in order for you to find the right opportunity for you, you must try them at least once. If it doesn’t perform the way you wanted it to work - you may need to move on.
The best thing about trying all sorts of opportunities is that you discover your game. It’s not about how much but how easy it is to make a profit from these programs. There are surprising results to some opportunities where over a year ago, they didn’t make us enough income to even clutter our blogs with it but after a year or so, and some tweaking by the program developers, we found that you can still make a profit from them if utilized.
Our number one on the list is not a surprise at all.
Google Adsense - This has created a passive income for us and given us the monthly income that we need to at least cover our blogging expenses. More so, it has enabled us to venture out to other programs without compromising its effectiveness. We rate them to be our number one income-producing program.
Number two maybe considered a blog-killer but we believe that as long as you keep the opportunities in line with your blog, it could be as lucrative as any.
Pay Per Post - Many bloggers shy away from using paid posts on their blogs because they say that it undermines the integrity of their blogs. It’s a feeling of “selling-your-soul” as how others have put it. However, our discovery if you only take the opportunities in line with what you normally talk about in your blogs - you can definitely create a living out of it.
The third runner up is as old as any other paid posts program out there. Their opportunities site is not as advanced like Pay Per Post but they do provide a good number of opportunities that could add up to your advantage.
Review Me - Without much hassle, you can create an income from this program (which is paid monthly by the way) that could add to your diversified online income. They are quick to review your entries and will immediately approve your posts if you meet two very simple requirements - working links and at least 200 words. Nothing could be easier.
Our fourth placer is one that we got rid of a year ago because we didn’t find enough benefits from it. Surprisingly though, after one year - they have improved and we believe that they are on their way to stardom.
Adbrite - This one has surprised us the most. Within the last year, our income from this program wasn’t worth anything. We thought that we should take out the banners from Adbrite just because nothing was really being generated from it. Let’s fast forward a year later. We simply placed the ads back from the program and to our surprise, this may be one passive income that could rival passive income programs in ways that no one can imagine. Now, after a week - we’ve already made significant strides in page impressions and clicks. This looks promising to us.
And last but not least, it’s a simple program where advertisers show a link on your site and you get monthly payments from them simply for having the links on your blogs.
Text Link Ads - a program that could be lucrative only if you have lots of traffic being generated on your site. Advertisers look for relevant blogs that would provide traffic on their site as well. We’ve had seven of these running at one time and we’ve made some serious cash from it. The advertisers can cancel anytime so it’s not a big risk for them. You may rely on this program solely for extra income.
The rest are simply just that. The REST-IN-PEACE programs. We’ve had many other online opportunities that did not provide us the ROI that we were expecting so we’ve dropped them. These five are sure to make your online quest for financial freedom, a reality.

In general, contextual ads and paid reviews are really consistent top earners for blogs.
For more established blogs, I believe that product sales and private ad placements are the top earners.
Anyway, my advise for those who doesn’t want to write paid posts in their main blog, simply create a new one and put all your paid posts there.
I have an 8-month old, super secret, zero page rank, pure nonsense blog which I do not promote in any way. And yet, it consistently earns me around $200 a month from PPP. I believe you’re a fool not to take this easy income opportunity.
Throw the “undermining the integrity” issue out the window and simply find a way to get the best of both worlds.
