Nails Blogitive Review
Like most, I'm a happy blogger that has discovered the benefits of joining such programs as PayPerPost.com, Blogitive, and soon to research Blogsvertise.com. My thoughts and opinions regarding Blogitive are one from start to finish, from accept to paypal deposit.
Their service is very easy to use and I find that their reviews of posts are extremely liberal. Recently some posts in the official blog have indicated that their Advertisers felt they were a little too liberal, so they have increased requirements. While the methods are easy, their site is cumbersome and a pain to decipher when accepting offers.
For example, when you accept an offer you are greeted with a press release and the requirements for the posting. The press release and requirements are jumbled up into one .txt output with no formating. Therefore when your reading the requirements and press release there are no paragraphs, indentions, or even identification from one to the other.
Once you navigate through the accepting phase of Blogitive it is only a short time before your post is reviewed. Out of 6 paid postings I found that each was reviewed within 12 hours of my submittal. To expect any more would be unreasonable, considering the amount of bloggers they have working for them.
Blogitive Offers
Unfortunately Blogitive is struggling to keep enough advertisers in que for their bloggers to post for. This translates into long periods of time without offers to earn $$, which is why we all signed up. I've gone for periods of 1 month without receiving one solitary offer and this is checking the cue on a daily basis.
When there are offers to accept they are typically about the same old spammy thing(Think Forex Trading, insurance, and Gold). Spammy offers makes it difficult to work a posting into a decent personal or even topical blog(I use different blogs for my Paid Postings, not this one.). Every offer I accepted from Blogitive paid a flat $5.00 per post.
Blogitive Payment
Payment was as promised, each deposit was made into my PayPal account every week. The only draw back was that the payments were made via eCheck, so it took another 2 weeks before the payments actually cleared. While this was frustrating, it was only a minor annoyance and I was receiving payment for my services.
Being paid every week, despite the 2 weeks to clear, is better than PayPerPost.com's payment policies. The need to wait a full 30 days before payment is made makes it less gratifying. However, once the payments start coming in, it will only be a matter of keeping your plate full.
Blogitive Summary
This site has tremendous potential, I believe the paid-to-post market is just beginning. Consider the advantages over treaditional link purchasing methods or the dreaded PPC forumula.
Once Blogitive gets a steady que of advertisers it will become a success. However, if you go and sign up today don't be surprised to find no money available. Eventually, with advertisers and a more user friendly site, you will find the gold at the end of the rainbow.
just be advised that if you do join blogitive that they are good with getting the payments to you on a weekly basis via paypal, but they are very slow on reveiwing the submitted offers, they say it takes a week, but be prepaired for your submitted offers to take up to 2+ weeks to be reviewed and the another week before you will be paid once the review is approved, so it is a long drawn out process that can and does try one’s patience.
Thanks for the heads up Breezie. It’s been awhile since I’ve used PayPerPost or Blogitive, since my plate has been full with other things. As long as there are plenty of offers I suppose it all works out though.
If you can keep those offers rolling you could be drawing PayPal payments EVERY week.
