Statement from Bloggerwave

Just received the following email:

We are fully aware that bloggerwave.com has been receiving quite controversial reviews in recent days. The supporters of bloggerwave.com know the facts and have praised our transparent approach to business. The negative approach indicates that we do not pay attention to the needs of our bloggers.One thing is certain; bloggerwave’s current and future success is based on our bloggers, who are our most important assets. We understand that in order to make a historical cornerstone in the business of advertorial content we need you.We apologize for the delays in the payment process which has been subject for discussion on a number of blogs – the delay was external and not directly under our control or caused by our system. This is not an excuse as it our responsibility to make sure that you are paid on time and in accordance with the agreement. We further apologize for any inconvenience that could have been caused to you as a result of the delays. We are now looking at various options to have a backup payment system in place to ensure you receive an improved service from bloggerwave. com .We are about to fine-tune several things at bloggerwave.com so we can meet the growing expectations by our advertisers and bloggers and you will witness these improvements over the coming weeks and months.Bloggerwave.com will get a total redesign and add more functionality to the site. The new design and its functionality will clearly differentiate us from our competitors and provide us with stronger brand recognition. All of the affiliated bloggers are invited to comment and make suggestions to our upcoming design.We have also decided to launch our services to more countries in Europe and Asia. We are continuously getting a positive feed back from these markets – both from companies who want to launch a campaign and bloggers who want to join us.

As a result of this cooperation our bloggers will benefit from wide spectrum of expanded business in the European as well as international market.I would like to thank you all for being part of Bloggerwave.

Yours faithfully,Ulrik S. ThomsenCEO Bloggerwave.com

I would like to reiterate that whilst Bloggerwave has not yeilded many opportunities, they have certainly paid out, and they did it a week earlier than was required as far as I can tell.

Mid-month review (MAY)

The month of May is intended to push the limits of what a PR2 blog can earn in a month.
I am active with four schemes:

• Payperpost
• Creamaid
• Blogsvertise
• Bloggerwave

I have had no 'offers' from Blogsvertise for quite a few weeks, and even then the last offer I completed for them took a month to get approved. Despite plenty of emails reassuring me that there are a lot of new offers coming and the service is improving, my experience is that this source of income has all but dried up. To be fair, they operate a 'grab bag' service where you can try posting for jobs that have not been taken up by other bloggers, unfortunately the opportunity that was offered to me under the 'grab bag' scheme was one I had completed already....

Payperpost has offered the largest amount of posts recently, although the rewards are generally low because this blog does not qualify for the higher earning opportunuties. My experience with Payperpost up to now has been good. Posts take around 5 days to get approved and earnings should arrive in my paypal account 30 days later.

I have recently been introduced to Bloggerwave which appears to model itself closely on payperpost (the login page apart from colours and logo is VERY similar). Currently there are three opportunities available and I have posted for all three, acceptance was prompt ie. within 48 hours, and again payment should be 30 days later. I will report on whether new opportunities become available when I do a summary at the end of this month.

Creamaid works differently to the other services and the more I use it, the more I like it. I have reported before that getting emails and getting in early on opportunities is key and this continues to be true. I have recently completed another $10 opportunity and got in early enough to get referrals again. Having said that, earnings continue to vary from $1 to $10, so you need to pick and choose if you want the higher earnings. There is no negative consequences of not participating in a post, so being picky won't affect the opportunities available to you.

With my strategy of posting every day, I have managed to 'earn' around $70 in half a month, my target is $100 for the month, but there is a limited amount of opportunities available to me, so I will be forced either to do the lower-priced jobs or find another fresh source of opportunities. One draw-back is that the same opp's often appear on different schemes and you can't post the same thing twice, however you can turn this to your advantage as sometimes they pay more through one scheme that they do through another so shop around...

The month of May

This month, with the schemes that I already am signed up to, I will be aiming to maximise income from paid posts. My tactics will be as far as possible to intersperse each paid post with my own posts – and I will try to post every day until opportunities dry up. I am now enrolled in the following schemes:
Blogsvertise
Creamaid
Payperpost
Bloggerwave
These may not be sufficient to give me an opportunity every day, so I may soon be looking for new schemes – earnings updates will be more frequent this month as long as I can keep the ball rolling…
