I've seen a number of online businesses fail due to lack of efficient management. I thought business people need huge investments to put some order in their business and thus, those who lack the capital, opt not to prioritize these tools. I chanced upon Ashop Commerce while surfing the net, and thought it interesting to browse through their website.

Several weeks ago as I was visiting different blogs, I noticed that most of them have the Smorty banner in their sidebar. So I went on to check what Smorty is and discovered it is a neat blog advertising site whose primary purpose is to connect advertisers with high quality bloggers.

As I am interested to get paid to blog, I immediately signed up with Smorty . Their website provides sufficient information both for bloggers and advertisers. I have even tried contacting Smorty's helpcenter and they responded really quick.

Advertisers have the opportunity to advertise on blogs that are of good quality and they get to pay only the posts that meet their requirements. Moreover, advertisers can increase their search engine rankings through the thousands of blog posts that link back to their website.

As a blogger, Smorty allows me to choose only the subjects that I want to write about--those that are interesting and relevant to my blog. Smorty also allows its members to submit more than one blog for approval, and the best part is that bloggers get paid weekly! So those who love writing now have the opportunity to blog for money.

Back when I was still studying Marketing in college, Advertising was one of my favorite subjects. And even when I was already working as a pricing analyst (oh yes, I handled financial planning and pricing analysis in the corporate world instead of marketing!), I would aspire to shift to a Marketing career. Even today, I always get excited about unique advertising concepts, witty taglines and cheerful jingles.

But as I have decided to abandon the corporate world for the moment, I thought my dreams of practicing my marketing skills would have to be put aside as well. Until I was introduced to the latest trend in internet marketing. A lot of people I know are into paid blogging. I've searched a few paid blogging sites and realized it's a clever medium for advertisers, especially now that more and more people are into online shopping as well.

One paid blogging site that caught my interest is Blogsvertise.com. The registration process is pretty simple and straightforward. Bloggers simply need to sign up to Blogsvertise.com, and once the submitted blog has been approved, Blogsvertise.com will email the tasks/assignments which you will write about in your own blog. What's cool about Blogsvertise.com is that you are free to structure your write-up about the product or service you are advertising. Once your blog entry has been composed, you will have to submit the entry to Blogsvertise.com for review and approval, and once approved, you can expect the payment to be credited in your paypal account after 30 days.

I'm fascinated at how much Internet Marketing has progressed since college days (can you tell how old I am now?!). And I think it's worth it to try this paid blogging thing.
