Blogsvertise Sponsored Reviews

Here’s another entry into the Sponsored Blogging universe - Blogsvertise. Similar to Pay Per Post, Blogsvertise typically pays in the $5 to $15 range per sponsored post that you include in your blog. Unlike many other services, however, you do not get to choose from a qeue of opportunities — instead, the “blogsvertise administrator” will assign you writing tasks. You don’t have to necessarily endorse the product or service, just mention it in your blog and link to the sponsor three times in your post.

If you have just setup your blog within the last 30 days, or have sparse content, you are unlikely to be approved for a standard account. However, Blogsvertise will accept you on a “probation” status that allows you to accept and complete writing tasks for the service. While these tasks only pay $2 per completed task, this will provide you with some level of income (and start filling out content on your blog!) during a time when most other services will not accept you.

I’ve just signed up for the service, so do not have any specific experiences to pass on about the service yet. If any readers have used the service, please pass on your experiences with Blogsvertise.

Bubble Guru Personalizes Your Site

There are many ways to add video to your site, but Bubble Guru is truly a unique way to insert unobtrusive video that is specific to your page — whether it be a tutorial, review, or personal message.

Anyone can use Bubble Guru  by setting up a free account (get in while it’s still free!).  After setting up your account, you connect up your WebCam or Digital Camcorder and hit "Record".  When you’re done recording your message, you’ll get some html code that you just have to cut & paste into your website.  It’s a very easy way to get video content into your site or blog without having to go the traditional route with YouTube, PhotoBucket or any one of the other 200+ video sharing sites out there.

If you’re still not sure how it works, check out the Bubble Guru Tour to find out more.
