Ad: Review Me

I’ve to let you know first, this post is an advert and I’m paid :)

Well, as you can see there are a few ad link on my blog from Adsense. Basically I can earn money if you click them. I can’t ask you to click them, but if you find them are useful, please feel free to hit. The problem about Google’s Adsense is that I can’t control what to show in my blog, although the ad is showed based the content of the each page, but still it’s not flexible.

I just found a new blogger ad site call Review Me this morning and I’m loving it (they don’t pay me to write this sentence though) ! If you see their Why page, it’s all straightforward. I submit my blog and tell them what mine is all about, then they will place it into Advertisers’ section and let them choose me according my blog’s profile. If the advertisers found my blog is suitable for their product, they will send me a require and ask me to write for them. But it’s totally up to the bloggers (Me) to decide whether to write or not. If I don’t like the product, I can just refuse.

I’ve been dreaming this kind of ad platform for a long time. I enjoying writing blog, but meanwhile if I can earn a little bit pocket money, why not? My adsense account’s income number does increase from time to time, but still not even close to that $100 (you can’t receive payment until reach $100). And the main disadvantage is I can’t control what is exactly showed in my site. Whereas review me is largely depends on the bloggers, I write about the things I like.

This kind of advert has more value and it’s great for Word of Mouth or creating buzz. Blog is a better platform for advertisement, because each one has its loyal readers and there are high creditability between blogger and readers. Like this one I’m writing now, you know me as Richard Hong, and if I said it’s good, maybe worth to have a try.

But don’t worry, this won’t be “only-write-for-money” blog. I can still earn some income from my part-time job. Here is still my blog, I write whatever I want to say, and whatever I want to share with my friends.

Update: My review is approved! :)
