Using RedGage to Promote Your Blogs, Writing and Content

2009-06-28T16:23:00.000-07:00

Here is this new website that pops up called RedGage.com. A site that pays you to promote your own writing, blogs, photos and other Internet content. Hmmm... A little skeptical at first, but after a few days of uploading links to blogs and other content I have on the Internet, I have seen that this site is the real deal so far.

Yes, RedGage has its quirks and bugs they are working out like any other new website, but so far it has been pretty easy to upload these links and other content.

They are currently running a contest/raffle that pays $50.00 to two contributors every day! You get points for your activity on the site and each point is an entry into the "drawing". They post the winners everyday on a "wall" that you can see and comment on. Not a bad deal at all.

So get started today! It's better than free, they pay you!

Writing website reviews is another resourceful way to earn income writing. There are a number of ways you can publish your review. Writing a review for ReviewStream is one way, you can earn $1.50-$2.00 for it immediately, with no royalties. You can also write an article for Associated Content or Helium. If you write the article you may be able to get an upfront payment and page view royalties. Writing for ReviewStream may be beneficial because they can be shorter so you can complete the review faster. Writing an SEO article may take longer, but has residual/passive income in the way of royalties.

Writing a website review is a little more involved than a product review. When I first started writing website reviews, I did some research on the topic. There was a lot of things I was not looking at or reviewing. It really depends on your audience. If your target audience are webmasters, your review needs to be more detailed and include additional critiques than if you are writing to the general public.
