This page will focus on paid-to-blog, paid link and job services. For more information on how to set up your own popular blog with heaps of great content visit Darren Rowse at ProBlogger.net. A lot of blogs also use affiliate programs to make money. Yaro Starak's blog is a good source of advice for this. Clickbank is the world's leading site for finding top affiliate programs to join.
Paid To Blog
Most of these programs require you to have an established blog. If you own a site you can also pay money to these sites to advertise!Proven Programs
PayPerPost.com I have literally made 100s of $$ in 3 weeks from this website. They take a week to approve your blog - which needs to have been established for 90 days - but opportunities are plentiful and many pay very well. This is my favourite money making program on the internet.
SponsoredReviews 100$+ Has lots of opportunities but I don't like the cut that they take from bloggers. A little high in my opinion. Additionally, a lot of the advertisers takes to approve your submission to review their blog.
Blogsvertise $80+ This is another personal favourite - the opportunities are easier to fulfil than PayPerPost, the payouts are BETTER on average than PayPerPost. Just one quibble : nowhere near as much work available.
Smorty $30 These guys have quite a lot of competition for opportunities but they pay out really fast. Easily the best paid to blogging site in terms of payment reliability.
BlogToProfit $25 Once approved, they'll email you with an Excel document and the links they want. You can write about whatever you want, just putting the link in. Easy.
Money4Blogs Just paid me $40 to put a link up on my blog for a year. Hell yeah! Unproven Programs I've signed up to all these programs for no results.
Linkworth Haven't shown anything just yet.
V7N contextual
BloggingAds Have been approved, am waiting for opportunities.
Dewitts Media Low quality network. (Just look at the site)
Payu2blog have a pretty bad reputation in the online community for slow or non payment. Haven't gotten any jobs yet
Bloggerwave Not many opportunities, and if you look at their top earners...
Blogitive Too many users and not enough opps mean no $ for me
LoudLaunch Haven't shown me anything
ReviewMe Take a 50% cut. Only worth it for the big blogs.
Blogging jobs
Problogger has a dedicated and popular jobs board. Would benefit from listing more opps though
Jobster has a ton of blogging jobs aggregated... might be a little US-centric though.
BloggerJobs is an emerging jobs blog.
WeblogsInc hires bloggers for their large network. I'd say they receive a lot of applications though.
b5media Suggest a topic to b5 and they will consider it. The quality of blogs overall on their network isn't so great. So maybe they're easy to get into.
KnowMoreMedia Suggest a topic to b5 and they will consider it. The quality of blogs overall on their network isn't so great. So maybe they're easy to get into.
Creative Weblogging has fairly regular jobs come up. The money isn't massive but it's not much work either.
Serve Ads On Your Blog
Yahoo Publisher Network lets you serve ads onto your own site.
adBrite Serve contextual ads, text link ads, full page ads.. you name it, they got it.
Kontera serve in-text ads - it automatically replaces certain keywords with ads. They pay per click,
