Whether you are a veteran paid-content “postie” blogger or you are just starting out and have dabbled into sponsored advertising reviews and buzz campaigns, you probably know that your opportunities and pay scale are almost entirely dependent on statistical traffic and link numbers, and have little to do with the quality of the articles you compose. While this is not to say that the quality of your sponsored posts is completely irrelevant, many of these companies are mainly concerned with quantity and exposure and flooding the market with ads rather than focusing on the quality and skill of the writer themselves.
The blog buzz marketing process is one of the fastest and most effective advertising strategies available to companies. Many companies pay bloggers to advertise their company or product based solely on page statistics and number of paid articles relating to similar companies or “niche” blogs. Companies are looking to reach a wide target audience quickly and affordable in order to boost their business and gain name recognition and edge out competitors by way of these mass”word-of-mouth” guerrilla marketing tactics. While this may be an effective way to quickly spread “buzz” about their company, product, or service, it is hard to track the quality of content being written based on statistics alone. There are many a quantity-focused “postie” out there reviewing these products and services through these sites and only doing the minimum required to get paid. While it should be obvious that this kind of spam-blog marketing is highly effective at “spreading the word,” poorly written reviews can actually directly impact the business a company receives due to poor communication of service or product and minimal effort.
Many of us “start-up” writers find it very hard and frustrating to increase traffic and exposure without the aid of a programmer or host-company, and many good writers give up due to lack of pay for their hard earned time and money. Finally there is a paid blogger-to-advertiser connection site that takes not only your page rank and domain statistics into consideration, but actually gives start up bloggers the chance to “prove their worth” with a test article to showcase your writing skills. At Snapbomb, your base no-matter-what rate per article will increase by how well you fit the needs of the advertiser, and by routinely monitoring the quality of your articles as well as giving advertisers a way to rate your articles and provide feedback accordingly.
Holy Moly, really? While http://www.snapbomb.com is a newcomer to the world of paid content sites, I am encouraged by the out-of-the box thinking that gives both established bloggers and new authors the pay that they deserve. Advertisors also have full control over who they offer sponsored articles to, and can search for writers in a number of ways including pagerank, statistics, feedback, past votes cast by other companies that sponsored you, and can see your work before they offer an opportunity. This is a great innovation in blogging, and I hope that this site will encourage old and new bloggers to put some thought and quality into their content more often and stop the “junk-blog” phenomenon from ruining the blog-0-sphere’s accreditation. Show off your writing muscles and get paid for what your content is really worth.
It’s free to sign up, and you can get started right away. Think. Create. Act. Reward. As it should be, cheers to a new year and a GREAT new concept! Visit Snapbomb today and make your career dreams a reality.
