			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I only found out that we need to choose the category of our blogs registered with Smorty. Actually, I hardly get any reviews from Smorty because I don&#8217;t have good pagerank and most of the advertisers do not prefer blogs with PayPerPost articles. I know that most bloggers will just ignore and take the offers, but I try my best to avoid it, if possible!</p>
<p>But there is only one category allowed for each blog, and I can&#8217;t find food and cooking for one of my blogs! Why? I thought food blogs are a lot out there, but maybe they don&#8217;t have advertisers in that category huh?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> There are various ways of making money from blogging, and one of the ways is writing paid reviews. I know there are lots of bloggers who don&#8217;t agree with it, but it&#8217;s still one of the mainstreams that generate income for small time bloggers like me. It&#8217;s not easy to get Adsense, PPC, affiliate payout if the blogs don&#8217;t have great traffic. But most of us want to make money. So what&#8217;s the deal?</p>
<p>You can just join Smorty. It&#8217;s a blog advertising company that connects advertisers with bloggers. Just write a post of more than 150 words in English and you can make some money from that post. I won&#8217;t say that it&#8217;s generating a lot of money to me as I only join it not long ago. However, it&#8217;s still another source of income that I am working on.</p>
<p>If you are interested, you can click on my affiliate banner and start making money just like I do.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> When I first started blogging for money, I didn&#8217;t know there are so many networks to work with, if you are willing to search for them. At the same time, if you have a strong network with some fellow bloggers who like to blog for money, you will easily be informed about the latest network available.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t bump into Smorty by chance. I was told about it by a blogger, and thank god most of the bloggers I told are not selfish! I signed up with Smorty months ago, but I didn&#8217;t go many of their offers. But lately, I would like to diversify my source of income, and Smorty is a great network to work with. Why? Once you have accepted your offer, you are given 3 days to complete the review. I like the time frame given because I don&#8217;t have to rush for a review. More over, there is no interims rules and it is fairly flexible.</p>
<p>Lots of companies have started to <a href="http://www.smorty.com">advertise on blogs</a>, so I am hoping to that more advertisers will sign up with Smorty so that bloggers like me will be able to make more money with our review.</p>
