Smorty: Another way to earn money via your blog

with 17 comments

ADVERTISEMENTS



Smorty is another way to earn money from your blog. Smorty connects bloggers and advertisers, letting bloggers review advertisers’ services and products.

Advertisers can advertise on blogs with quality content to get opinions on their products and services. Bloggers get paid for the reviews approved by advertisers via Paypal. The pay out is weekly, and this attracted me.

Smorty - Get paid for blogging

Reviews must have a minimum of 150 words and a maximum of 400 words. Bloggers get paid for the reviews approved by advertisers.

Smorty’s interface is really simple to use. All available opportunities are listed on the panel for you to accept/decline. There’s also a referral program that lets you earn more bucks by referring new sign-ups.

Something which I found lacking was the usage of RSS feeds in the system. It would be easier for bloggers to keep track of available opportunities via feeds. Many similar services have integrated RSS feeds in their system very well.

Overall, Smorty seems to be a very good platform that lets bloggers get paid for blogging.

    A competitor of PayPerPost, that’s good to know. Sites like these are giving small time bloggers to make some good amount of money.

    Yo! Cool! We have the same topic here! :)

    You change you theme? Nice! Clean line with the gradient blue will give some morning “just wake up” psychology effect!

    I will love to visit this blog often!

    Having an RSS feed really makes a big difference for keeping up with opportunities on sites like this. I’m sure they must be working on that.

    Great analysis.

    Yes this is good.But our blogs has to qualify.My blogs are very new.One of my technology blog which is hidden in my name is just 10 or 12 days old.It should be atleast 90 days for a blog to qualify.Im waiting for that to come.If your blog is very popular then you can actually go for reviewme also.Some of my friends said that Smorty is also good.

    Shankar,
    Smorty is one of the mid level turnkey adverts I’ve tried, here’s my two cents on ‘em.

    1> Not really many offers from them, unless you have high PR.
    2> Payouts are comparatively lesser.
    3> They have weekly payments and they pay directly pay to your paypal (one good thing)
    4> The offers close out quickly, so you constantly need to have a check on them, every now and then :) .

    But money is money and anything flowing in is good :) .

    Regards,

    @Wishlost: I completely agree. They still need to improve a lOt, IMO.
