Orble.com Pays Bloggers $40 per week...

...once you "write consistently over a 2 week period and your posts attract some comments and votes," that is.

Any body else out there making money with Orble?

Somehow thru my "paid blogging" or "pay for blogging" or "blogging for pay" or "pay per post" or "pay per contribution" searching I found Orble, a site that pays folks to blog.

I sent off an application for this blog and got back this lovely email:

Hello Paula,
Thank you for your application to write an Orble Domain blog.We liked your example posts however for the moment we would ask that you start with a regular Orble blog.

A regular Orble blog is hosted on Orble.com (www.orble.com/janes-movie-blog/). An Orble Domain blog is hosted on it's own domain name (http://www.janesmovieblog.com/) and the writer is paid a commission on any revenue generated.

Regular Orble blogs have all the functionality of Domain blogs and allow the writer to fully participate in the Orble community. It costs Orble anything from $30 to $60 to set up a new Domain blog so you can understand that we like to see if a writer is able to blog consistently before committing to this expense.

If you are able to write consistently over a 2 week period and your posts attract some comments and votes we would then be happy to place your blog on a separate domain name and pay you a commission on any revenue your blog generates. At that time you would also be automatically considered for the weekly blogging "scholarship" which offers $40 pw for the first 8 weeks as your new blog is establishing itself.

You can sign up for a regular Orble blog at my.orble.com. If you have any problems setting up your new blog or have any other questions please let me know.

Regards, Jasmine.

So, I set up this new blog called You Gotta See This and blogged about ol' Kramer yesterday. I fretted over figuring out where to put my some stats coding, but the folks at Orble took care of that when they sent me back this nice traffic stats email last night (obviously I need to read and follow up on their search optimizing tips):

Paula's List of Blogger Salaries...Are you on the list?

Update: For those who continue to enjoy this post, check out my website about 50 real online people making more than $50k per year , and my page where I update my online salary . UPDATE: Before you read any further or especially link to this old list, please check out "Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007" by clicking here! ~ Thanks, PAULA NEAL MOONEY by Paula Neal Mooney One of my favorite features in Parade magazine is the issue where they grab a random sampling of people and report their incomes -- from the millionaires to the working poor. Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net. Who's on Paula's List of Blogger and Webmaster Salaries? I spent hours and hours scouring the internet for the last-reporte...

Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab...

UPDATE - I can't do it. Just as soon as I signed up with Tissa's people search engine, I cancelled. I just don't feel right about helping people find other people's addresses and phone numbers. AND THIS PRIVACY ISSUE IS GAINING STEAM. CHECK OUT THE CONTROVERSY BREWING OVER THE MYLIFE.COM PRIVACY SELLING ISSUES THAT TISSA USES TO PROVIDE THE PEOPLE SEARCH ENGINE INFO. I know I could probably make money with it, but it's just not sitting right with my soul. Back to the drawing board. I know better things await... I kept trying to rationalize that many people could use the people search engines for good purposes, like reconnecting with old classmates and finding deadbeat dads and such -- but the reality is that if just one person uses them for nefarious purposes, I just don't want to be a part of that. I wonder if Tissa would care if people found out the address of his fabulous home, and came a' knocking on his door? How I Bought a Brand New $1.2 Million Dolla...
