Is paid blogging a scam?

October 21st, 2009

20050819-punk-blog-for-foodBlogging is becoming more and more popular every single day. It is becoming an extremely advantageous avenue for businesses, as well as a means of communication for individuals and businesses alike. Many bloggers have the opportunity to make a good living by blogging. So, is paid blogging a scam?

The answer to this question depends on several different factors. Just like any other means for bringing in an income, the blogging world has its share of “scammers.” There are always going to be people and businesses out there willing to scam anyone they can.

Paid blogging has become a good source of additional income for stay-at-home-moms. The SAHM network has increased with many mothers staying home and blogging. Blog topics range from cooking, to financial information, to real estate hints, to ways to get better gas mileage, etc. The sky is literally the limit when it comes to the topics that are blogged about.

If you are looking into becoming a paid blogger, there are several things to ask yourself before committing to blogging for anyone.

1. Do I know this individual? If you know the individual for whom you will be blogging for, the chances for you getting “scammed” are fewer. The bloggers that seek out random individuals or companies to blog for are the ones who take the bigger risk.

2. Is the company profitable? Make sure that the company you will be blogging for is profitable. You don’t want to work for a company that will not be able to pay you for your work!

3. Is the company well-known? The company doesn’t have to necessarily be well-known for it to be scam-free. Many start up companies are using blogs to communicate with their customers. The risks will be slightly lower if the company has been around for a while and is well-known.

4. Simply do your homework. Find out as much as you can about the individual or company that you will be writing for. You will greatly minimize your risks of being scammed this way.

Paid blogging isn’t a scam, but there are those individuals and companies out there who are looking to scam someone in the blogging world. Be sure to thoroughly do your research before you start blogging for anyone. Paid blogging can be a great source of income for you and your family if you are careful about what you do.
