It is a fact that a lot of “get paid to blog” networks have been coming up around the web and Bloggerwave is one of them. It is a relatively new startup in this field when compared to sites such as PayPerPost, ReviewMe or SponsoredReviews.

Blog Approval:

You have to register at Bloggerwave and then submit your blog for approval. Your blog will be approved within 72 hours at the max. After your blog is approved, you are eligible to take up posting opportunities.

Taking Opportunities:

In a manner pretty similar to PayPerPost, you will have to look for an opportunity that suits the niche of your blog and pick up the opportunities. The opportunities will be available based on the rating of your blog. Since it is early days for Bloggerwave, the number of opportunities is small. But it is bound to grow over time and you should take advantage of that. The process is depicted graphically in this really unnecessary flowchart.

Approval of Posts:

As soon as you are done taking the opportunity, the post will have to be approved by an admin manually. There is no automatic approval system to avoid problems. It is essential that a post remain on the blog for atleast 30 days. This will be checked at random. Also, if your post is rejected, you can resubmit the post within a few days and get approved after correcting the problems.

Payment:

As the Bloggerwave FAQ states:

Compensation of various opportunities is based on the advertiser. After 30 days as well as at random we will check to see if the blog post is still live and still meets the Opportunity requirements. After reviewing, if we observe that the blogger has satisfied his/her agreement, he/she will immediately get paid. Payment will be issued ONLY via PayPal based on the PayPal e-mail address that has been provided to us.

I assume this can only mean that bloggers will be paid after 30 days, which I think is too much a time. This is a serious disadvantage for most people.

Controversy:

There were a few problems with Paypal and Bloggerwave and this caused payments that were paid out to be taken back. This problem has been completely sorted out and everything is running smoothly now.

Disadvantages:

  • Not much opportunities
  • Low payouts (the highest earner over the last month was at 124$)
  • Payment and approval time is too long

Also, I find that there are long javascript codes to place in your blogs for the approval process and the last time I put that piece of code into the code editor in wordpress, the entire post crashed and I had to rewrite it all over again. That is certainly not a comfortable thing and I would have expected a simpler method.

I don’t think there would be any problem in trying out this service. And earning your first $10 would be as writing a post such as this which has been sponsored by Bloggerwave itself. So, give it a shot and tell me about your experiences. Also, put forth your opinions regarding Bloggerwave :) .
