Writing Sponsored Posts

As a blogger, I am not ashamed to say that I do sponsored posts.  I do this and I earn a little here and a little there. Not bad since this extra cash has been helpful in more ways than one.

So, how am i able to write these posts without seemingly compromising my niche, specifically pertaining to the main blog?

1. I choose my topics. If I don’t choose my topics, I would have earned more but I can’t be too greedy and compromise my blog.
2. I read the website first. I read the pages contained in the website. I try to understand what the content is all about before I write my post.
3. I just don’t write, put the key words and the link and click publish. I re-read, edit, read again and edit again if I must before I publish the post. Why? I don’t want to be labeled as a “spam” or whatever it is called by misrepresenting facts and using incorrect spelling and grammar.
4. I try to be sincere when I write the post. How? I place myself in the position of a person looking for information on the articular topic I am writing about. Then I write how I would want to read about this particular topic.
5. I try to follow the rules given with regard to the posting and using of key words and links.
6. Before I used to use “I” in my posts but I have turned more objective and tried to write using a third person.

If you, as a blogger feel that writing paid posts is demeaning, then don’t go for it. If you feel that you don’t have a technical and/or writing capabilities to do sponsored posts, then don’t.

But definitely do not look down at others who do this kind of blogging. After all, some of these bloggers who do sponsored posts like me work harder at writing more relevant posts so as not to lose their “readers” who see paid posts in between.

I definitely don’t want to put “trash” posts nobody would want to read in between my paid posts. Now, that would be a different story and it takes out the fun in being able to reach out and touch the hearts of others who happen to come by my blog for a good read.

I would be disappointed in myself too if that happens.
