Do I like the idea of making money while I blog? That would be a resounding YES! Smorty offers bloggers like me the chance to get paid to blog and it seems to be a win-win situation for all. Smorty’s service connects bloggers and advertisers. The advertisers can pay bloggers to offer their opinion on various products while linking to the advertisers site.
When it comes to Smorty, there’s a lot to like. First of all, they approved my blog very quickly, with most blogs being approved within 72 hours. They also don’t care what other forms of advertising you use on your blog at the same time. I don’t use banners or Adsense, but many bloggers do. Smorty doesn’t want to limit the way bloggers make money, they would rather help bloggers increase the money they make.
I really like that Smorty pays bloggers on a weekly basis. As soon as the blogger’s post is approved, then Smorty pays for that post on the first payment day of that week.
And this may seem insignificant, but I really like their layout. The color scheme is very pleasing to the eye and the user interface is very easy to use. The text size is large enough that its easy to read, and the pending tasks area shows me exactly how much time I have to complete the posts that I’ve chosen.
I hope Smorty will be around for a long time because, frankly, I like everything about them.
