Make Money Blogging with Today.Com

I've spent several years looking into how to make money blogging, and now have finally found a paid blogging and freelance writing job opportunity through Today.

It has an excellent reputation, wide range of topics, and guaranteed pay of $1 per 100-word post for the first 30 days. Considering I can write a 100 word post on my blog's topic, which relates to codependency recovery, in less than 10 minutes, this is really a great addition to my freelance writing stable. It's also a lot of fun.

After the time period expires, staff will determine how much money your blog is pulling in from revenue traffic, and either up or decrease your daily post payments. However, you always can get more money from site traffic, referrals, and even contests. There is a $50 minimum payout, which I believe would be fairly easy to reach for the consistent blogger who knows how to use SEO keywords.

Because of the nature of Today's fundraising through advertising dollars, no outside links are allowed on the blog. But discussions are pretty unlimited, as long as they are not obscene or filled with hate speech toward people or groups based on race, religion, or sexual orientation.

Right now, you can only have one VIP blog, and according to a variety of World Wide Web discussion boards, they do pay. Since this is a fairly unknown company, always be cautious of giving out too much personal information - especially if your blog is of a sensitive topic. In addition, also beware that using your real name in a blog that is not news-oriented, but of a more personal nature (like mine) can probably bring you attention you weren't looking for. I can only imagine if someone I worked with said, "Hey, how about that codependency recovery, eh?" I'd definitely be mortified.

If you are stuck coming up with an idea for a blog, here are some tips to help you get started:

1) What are you passionate about?

2) What would you write about for free if need be?

3) What can you write about regularly, with engaging content?

4) What can you write about quickly?

Starting a paid blog is a lot of freelance writers' dreams, and now it can become a reality with Today.
