Working Online as a Problogger

If you're like me, you are a stay-at-home caregiver that has full-time responsibility and no chance to get out and look for work outside the home.

The Internet then becomes a link to outside sources of entertainment, socialization and even income. There are many ways to make money on-line from eBay to Amazon. One way that few consider is problogging.

Problogging simply means that the person keeping the on-line blog/journal earns revenue from their blog through sponsors and/or advertisers. Most of the major blogs you find are supported by sponsors and advertisers. To get started as a problogger you need an established blog through a service such as Blogger, (most advertising sites request blogs that are at least 3 months old and have current posts within the past 7 days), then you need to create an account with a program such as Blogsvertise which pays bloggers to post articles on assigned websites/services/products. Blogsvertise does not require posts to endorse products, allowing the blogger to provide their unbiased opinion on the product/service and still earn revenue for discussing it on their blog.

In addition to advertising services such as Blogsvertise, the blogger can make money through ads from services such as Google's AdSense placed on their blogs or from standard affiliate partnerships with companies such as Amazon or eBay.

While problogging is not likely to make you rich overnight, it can be a source of an average income of $200 to $500 a month. This can be a lifesaver in helping to offset bills and general costs accrued in the course of being a full-time caregiver.
