The Legal News

I love blogging, its what I do. It is not just a hobby, it has become an obsession. I think about what I will write when I am not writing.

Blogging is not a new hobby, it has been around since 1994, but back then it was more like an online diary. That morphed into what is now called blogging, from the word, weblog.

The phenomenon is just picking up steam in the last few years, and many in the blogging community are also professionals, who share good and valid input. This kind of expertise lend credibility to the scene.

Blogs are called differently depending on the media they are posted on or from. A blog of videos is called a vlog. A blog full of links is referred to as a linkog, and with sketches its a sketchlog, and of course one made of photos is a photoblog. Blogs with posts that are shorter, and with lots of mixed up media are referred to as tumblelogs. An Artlog is a bit different, it relies more on art, over text, but is published in a blog format. A very rare type of blog is called a Phlog and is hoster on the Gopher protocol.

So I decided i wanted to get paid for blogging. I went and checked out a firm named Smorty. They get advertisement orders from business, and then notify you when they have a new campaign. You just login to your smorty account and accept the offer, write a post and get paid, its ridiculously simple. The offers have been many and its allowed me to make quite of bit of extra cash doing something I love.

I recommend this to anyone who wants to get paid for blogging.
