American Idol Updates @ BLOGGED

When I started BLOGGED in early 2001, I never dreamed that blogs would be capable of viral marketing or even yet provide us income opportunity. Blogs were just fun to do. Then I found out that blogs contain content that are easily indexed by search engines. No wonder they rank high in a particular keyword. Marketing companies have been known to start their own blog to promote their products or services. Imagine if these same companies took advantage of the viral marketing effect of blogs. I was once approached by an events company to blog about their upcoming Halloween party. They said they would pay me for it. The money part was great but…the problem is I am not a party animal so it’s hard to write about parties if I haven’t gone to one in years. I would lose credibility in my own blog if I write something that is not within my interests. I passed it on to my daughter but she also said she’s not a party animal. Now what if this events company approached another blogger to do this for them? Both parties would be happy. The advertiser will get a review and the blogger gets paid for an entry that interests them.

This is not a problem anymore. ReviewMe provides a solution to these advertisers and make it easier to get the word out of their products and services. I signed up for their review because I was attracted to one of their solutions. We review only what we find interesting. ReviewMe believes that when a blogger writer finds something interesting “the odds are it is going to be well in tune with what readers of that channel like.”. Like I said earlier about the party event entry, I don’t find it interesting to write but there might have been other writers within ReviewMe that might want to write about it.

How does ReviewMe work

1. Submit your site to ReviewMe . Create an account as provided in the link.

2. Once your site is approved, your site will be part of the ReviewMe marketplace. Clients will purchase reviews from you.

3. Decide to accept the review or not.

4. Payment of $20.00 to $200.00 for each completed review is paid to you .

Easy steps to take ,right? I really like this concept because I won’t be forced to write a review of a product or service that does not suit my blog niche. In fact, this is my first official review for ReivewMe.
