This is my FIRST payment proof from Project Wonderful. I started putting their ad box on my main blog – Just Another Pixel – months ago and I’m pretty happy with my earnings with them. I don’t get a lot of people advertising on them, probably because they’re not placed above the fold, which I hope to improve once I re-design that blog’s layout.
If you’re not yet familiar with Project Wonderful, they’re an ad network, much like Entrecard, but, advertisers need to pay actual money for a spot on your ad space. If you have a lot of requests for advertising for your ad box, the advertisers would need to bid for that spot and whoever bids the highest wins, of course. So, make sure you set your Project Wonderful ad box space prices right basing on how much traffic you get.
I will write a full review of Project Wonderful soon. Keep posted for that.
I requested this on the same day, June 18th, and it was sent to my Paypal account INSTANTLY. Project Wonderful‘s minimum for payout is $10.00. Take note, though, that they charge you $1.00 per withdrawal. I know, that’s a bit high, but, it’ll actually save you a lot of money if you’re earning a lot from your blog. Just read their explanation here as to why Project Wonderful charges $1.00 per withdrawal.
I actually withdrew $11.65, and they deducted $1.00 from me. So, I suggest you withdraw your funds when you reach a way higher amount. That way, you can really save from withdrawal fees.

My first ever blog contest – Make a Wish – had just ended last week. I decided to start that contest because I’ve been getting decent amount of traffic from Entrecard and Adgitize, and I wanted to convert those random visitors to regular visitors, and even online friends of mine. I was a bit successful with the latter part, but I’m still working on being a friendlier blogger and to meet more bloggers whose posts I’ve been silently following.
My contest was a success and we got a total of 32 entries all in all, which you can all check out here. The links are at the bottom of that post. Winners will be announced on or before May 31st. I believe there were some visitors of this blog, Pinay Online Money Maker, who also joined that contest. I wish you all luck!
One of the prizes that the winners will receive is a month of advertising from Adgitize. This will really help boost your blog’s traffic. However, it’s really up to you on how you can keep those visitors to keep coming back to your blog. If you’re a beginner blogger, I suggest you use the Adgitize network to get to know people. No need to advertise, just be an active blogger. You can still earn money from Adgitize anyway without paying for advertisement. However, you’d earn more if you also advertise.
Here’s my payment proof from Adgitize for the month of April. I wasn’t able to post and click everyday so I only ended up with $15.36. Still, I got my $14 investment back.
This was supposed to be Part 3. My bad. Part 3 will be my Tips on how to get your blog approved when you sign up to Paid Review sites. Stay tuned for that!
Before I go ahead with the guides on how to accept or bid for Paid Review tasks, let me share with you some tips on how you can get more opportunities for your blog.
Advertisers prefer to offer paid review tasks to bloggers who have their own domains.
Paid posts would look more professional and reliable if it’s on a blog with its own domain.
It’s pretty easy to set up a free Blogger (blogspot) or WordPress blog so there might be people or possible customers who wouldn’t want to read about a certain product or service on a blog with a Blogspot.com or WordPress.com address. There are some companies who create free blogs with Blogspot addresses to spam or get links for their website or blog. If you have your own domain, you would look more reliable as a source of information.
If you’re interested in registering your own domain, I suggest you do so with Moniker. They offer the cheapest domain prices. I’ve got 6 domains registered through them. It might seem kinda complicated to set up your domain with them but I have written a guide on how to do just that over at my other blog – How to Setup Domains in Moniker for Blogger. The guide was specifically written for Blogger users, but the setup process is pretty much the same with other sites.
Don’t be too demanding.
If your blog is not that popular, don’t set your paid post price too high. My lowest paid post rate is $5.00 for a 100-word blog post. I’m pretty okay with this since writing paid posts also helps me keep my blog updated for my Adgitize earnings. I just make sure my posts are all interesting and not just some random blog post for the sake of completing my requirement. But, hey, it’s all up to you what you want to do with your paid posts.
Now, if the advertiser is offering you a very low rate compared to the amount you usually get per post, especially when they have a lot of requirements with text links or contents, then, by all means, demand for a higher rate. I’ve done this a couple of times already and the advertisers were all willing to accept my request for higher rate.
If you’re already making money through Linkbucks like me, then, you have to make sure that you add an exception on your Linkbucks script to prevent the advertiser’s website to open with Linkbucks ads with it. Why? Because most Paid Review sites are very strict with how the advertiser’s website is linked to your blog.For instance, Blogsvertise. I got a couple of posts that were declined before because the advertiser’s text links on my blog were automatically converted to Linkbucks links.To add an exception to your Linkbucks script, follow my guide:
Be creative with how you use the text links required of you.
You can simply talk about something that happened to you or a friend, something you saw on TV or in a movie, or even like a random rant so you can insert the text links. It’s pretty tricky so you really need to think about how you would incorporate that text link to your blog post without compromising your blog’s quality and your readership.
Make sure you follow the link requirements.
If the advertiser requires you to insert 3 text links, then, you have to follow them. No exceptions. If they want a REVIEW, write an actual review and don’t just insert the required text link (I’m guilty of this LOL).
This is why I love this certain paid post site (I had to remove the name). They only require you to post 1 text link on your Paid Posts. Thus, it makes the whole Paid Post thing easier for you. However, the opportunities are automatically approved and you are required to complete all of them so inserting those text links on your posts can really be tricky. Hehehe. But, still, I love them!
Your paid posts should remain on your blog FOREVER.
If the Paid Review sites found out you were deleting your paid posts after you got paid, your account may be suspended or deleted without notice.
Make sure you follow the word count requirement.
If the advertiser wants you to write a 200-word post about them or with their text link, you MUST follow or your paid post will be rejected.
Read the requirements carefully. Otherwise, your account might get suspended.
Not all paid post opportunities were created equal. I mean, some advertisers are more lenient wth their requirements; some are very strict. For paid review sites where you can bid for opportunities, if your blog doesn’t meet any of the requirements, DO NOT BID on the opp. Your account may be suspended or banned if you do this.
For instance, the advertiser only wants PR4+ blogs to bid. If your blog is at PR2, don’t bid on the opportunity. If the advertiser wants blogs about TECHNOLOGY only and yours is a personal blog or about family, don’t bid.
Submit your Paid Posts before the deadline.
If you don’t, you’ll miss on the paid post opportunities. And, for most Paid Review sites, if you continue on missing your deadlines, you’d get fewer opportunities next time around. You’ve got a whole lot of competition in writing Paid Posts, so, make sure you maximize your earnings from them by doing what’s required of you. And, another thing, if they see you’re finishing your paid opportunities early, chances are, you’d get more opps.
Note: This post may be updated in the future as I think of more tips on getting more paid opportunities and fast approval of your paid reviews/posts. So, make sure you check back or bookmark this page for more tips in the future!
Adgitize is one of the advertising networks that I highly recommend if you want to make money online through your blog or website. It’s quite easy to make money through Adgitize as a Publisher (blogger or owner of a website/page). Best thing about this is it’s free and they’re not strict with how and where you want to post the Adgitize ads widget. You can use them with Adsense, too. If you want to earn more, you can join Adgitize as an advertiser. It will not only boost your earnings, but also traffic to your blog.
This is my 3rd payment from Adgitize. This one’s for the month of March. Some of you who are wondering how I earn this much from Adgitize, let me share with you how I do it:
I am an Adgitize advertiser. I pay $14.00 for a 31-day ad, which actually pays for itself. As you can see, I get paid over $14 monthly so I just invest it all back to Adgitize. Anyway, I get more traffic through the Adgitize network so it’s really advantageous for me.Aside from the traffic, I also get advertiser points, which is added to the total points I get daily. Now, I get about $0.45 to $0.70 per day.
I have 3 blogs registered on Adgitize so I get points for each of their traffic. So, I strongly suggest you add all your blogs and post Adgitize ads on them to get more points everyday.Of course, do your best to increase traffic to your blog. You can follow my tips on how to increase traffic to your blog.
I do my best to publish at least ONE blog post on ANY of my blogs so I can get the 100 article points. Take note, I only need to post ONCE for ANY of my blogs. That’s why I usually write my blog posts in advance and publish one of them every day.
I also do my best to click on Adgitize ads daily. As an advertiser, I only need 51 ad clicks/views instead of the usual 100. Another advantage of being an advertiser.
This is my first payment from them. I use them on 2 of my blogs, particularly here on Pinay Online Money Maker, because they’re not strict and they allow publishers to use their service even on blogs that promote PTC sites. I believe it’s because, with Bidvertiser, the advertisers choose to bid and advertise on your blog. So, even if they see you promote PTC sites and they still choose to advertise, then, it’s all on them.
