I Can’t Help It…

Anyone remember this from It’s a Bug’s Life?

[two mosquitoes fly near a bug zapper; one flies towards it, as if in a trance]
Mosquito #1: Larry, no! Don’t look at the light!
Mosquito #2: [entranced] I-can’t-help-it. It’s-so-beautiful.
[Larry gets zapped, falls]
Mosquito #2: Woo hoo!

I used to wonder if I would do sponsored posts on PE.com when the time comes. Doing them on Blogspot blogs was a no-brainer decision but doing them on a dotcom of my own seemed a much harder decision to make. But after a while, like the mosquitoes above, the lure of getting get paid for blogging is just a little too strong and I can’t help it! Plus it helps me pay for my domain so this is my first foray over to the Dark Side! I solemnly promise not to overdose my blog with them as every little rat chef can tell you – any dish with too much pepper is a failure!

In a way, I’m glad that my first step towards blog advertising on PE.com was with Smorty. They’re really good in providing advertisements for bloggers to get paid for blogging and pay fast too. Their opportunities have recently increased, which is great for us who advertise on our blogs, but of late I’ve noticed that they too have started segmenting their opportunities by geographical location. Hopefully this still continues to provide opportunities for bloggers like us outside the US who still wish to blog for money with Smorty. Otherwise it’ll be a sorry day if we’re penalised simply for not being in the US!

Having said that, if you’re a blogger interested in earning some money through blog advertising, do remember to take a look at Smorty. They still do have some great assignments up for grabs!
