A new way to get paid - Snap Bomb

Posted under Blogging, Commercial by Wendy on February 24th, 2008 1:13 pm

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I was just browsing at some of my favourite sites today and came across an article creating some great buzz about a newcomer to the blog marketing industry. Snap Bomb! Catchy name that eh? I like it…and the fantastic thing is it is remarkably easy to sign up to in comparison to many other paid to blog sites currently around.

Okay; everything happens relatively fast as regards to the sign up biz. You tick the category advertiser or blogger - let’s just say you are a blogger for the example. Then you add you blog/s and in a matter of seconds your blog is evaluated. Hit refresh and bingo! there’s the amount - minimum to maximum - for which you can get paid to write an Opp.

There’s no penalties for those who were hit by Google recently either, if you are a PR0 it dosen’t matter as you still get a fairly decent payout figure and the Opp’s appear to be very interesting. Something worth writing about so to speak.

Once your have your value go and choose an Opp and you have 12 hours to finish writing it…you do have to earn $25.00 before you get paid but for most people that shouldn’t be a problem…especially if you have multiple blogs. I’d say this new kid on the block in the blog marketing field will do extremely well - you don’t get paid for about 60 days but the scope for earning serious cash is definitely on the cards here!

Give the gift of reading

Posted under Commercial, Shopping by Wendy on February 24th, 2008 3:13 am

Everyone who knows me knows how much I love to read, I’ve been doing it since I was four and I always thank my mother for taking the time to teach me before I started school. It sure gave me a head start on the other kids. With so much time being spent looking at a computer screen these days many kids simply are not raised on a diet of good books anymore; I had my first library card at the age of six!

One of the best gifts you can give a child, in fact anyone really, is a nice and thoughtfully chosen selection of books. Everyone has a favourite topic/subject that interests them and it can safely be said that there is a book that suits everyone so why not consider next time a birthday or whatever comes around?

Relaxing down to enjoy a good quiet read is one of life’s little pleasures and we should all take time out to do this.

It’s our birthday!

Posted under Blogging by Wendy on February 24th, 2008 2:48 am

Today Cultured Views celebrates it’s first birthday - we are one year old!! Yaaaaayyy !!

When I started off writing this blog I thought I would just begin with an entry every few days, whenever the time was available but look how far we’ve come! It has taken a while but I think I’ve found my feet and created a style that is quite different from my original entries…no more very long winded ramblings, apart from the exceptional when I really have something to bleat about.

I’ve even started making some money from writing articles for advertisers, never expecting that I’d actually get paid for expressing my wide range of thoughts and opinions. Just ask my family…they will sometimes pay me not to opinionize so much ( is that a real word? )  We have watched our PR rise with the masses then crash to zero thanks to you-know-who.

We have articles that are great, some good and probably just as many that are dead boring to the world in general - but that’s life as a blogger. And thanks to all those who have shared their valuable thoughts and feelings here - and to those caught up in my spammer… you are trapped forever so give it up!

Raise a glass and bottoms up!

Happy Birthday!!!

Make a wish and blow them out!
