After the dot com collapse in early 2000, many thought that the idea of making money online died with it. As it happens, after a short period of time that gave the market a chance to adjust, making money online became possible once more and, in fact, it became easier than ever. Today, it is trivial for anyone even without technical expertise to become an online publisher by starting a blog. A blog is a website designed to be updated daily on any topic of interest to the publisher. There are millions of blogs online and thousands more are created daily.

Publishers can monetize their properties by selling blog advertising to a large number of interested parties. A few years after the dot com crash, anyone can get paid to blog and earn a nice residual (and in some occasions full time) income. A well written blog can make a significant amount of money with little effort. The real question is where does one find those who want to advertise on blogs?

Enter online services that are specifically designed to act as an intermediary between blog publishers and advertisers. An example of such as service is Smorty. They provide simple to use software accessible using a Web browser that allows advertisers to post requests for bloggers’ opinions or product reviews. Publishers can create an account for free. Once a publisher’s blog is approved for use with the system, he/she can start accepting offers from advertisers and start posting for a fee that is a function of the popularity of the site. It is a simple concept which allows anyone to get paid for blogging. The entire process is straightforward and publishers can start making money practically overnight.
