Smorty… Blog Block? No Problem!
Surfing the blogashere, I came across a post on a website I had networked through that pointed me to the rabbit hole and once through the rabbit hole I discovered Smorty. Smorty is a service connecting advertisers with bloggers. Advertisers can pay bloggers
to write opinion posts with links back to the advertisers site. This is a pretty solid idea since many bloggers are blogging for money.
I recently realized that if I were to only blog for money I would probably lose interest. However, if I blog about things that I really enjoy doing, such as recruiting, and get paid to blog along the way, life becomes a whole lot sweeter. Actually I think it’s a pretty solid idea to pay people to reviewed other blogs and products, it’s not a new idea, just a Web 2.0 rendition of an age old idea of critics. Critics get paid for criticizing others work so getting paid to criticize blogging is just the natural evolution within the blogasphere.
