Get Paid to Comment - Postloop

Yesterday, I mentioned that a great way to work on your writing skills would be to post comments.  Believe it or not, you can get paid for doing this through a service called Postloop.  Basically, this service brings people willing to create comments together with bloggers and forum owners.  The bloggers and forum owners want people to comment on their posts and in their forums.  This helps their website traffic, and can spark some great conversations.  Sometimes, it can be hard to get people to notice your content without comments, and to get comments, you have to have people notice your content.  That is where this website comes in.  Simply put, bloggers and forum owners can purchase points that they give to Postloopers that comment on their blog or forum.  These points can then be cashed out through PayPal when you hit $5.00 worth of points.  Now, these have to be great comments that start or add to the conversation.  Postloop’s FAQ mentions that a comment is worth about 8 cents give or take.  Applying is rather simple as you just have to prove you have what it takes to be a Postlooper by posting ten comments to the Postloop forum.  These comments are then evaluated, and you pass or fail.  It does say that there is a chance you can do some additional comments in case you fail, but not in all cases.

Pros:

• Practice writing skills!
• Pick the types of posts you want
• Pays with PayPal
• Small payout threshold of $5.00
• No limit on amount of points you can earn
• No set schedule – work when you want

Cons:

• Attention to detail and following instructions important
• Small pay amount per post
• No guarantee the number of blogs you can post on
• Average and above rating needed to cash out

Overall, I like Postloop.  I think it’s a great company to work for to make some extra money.  It might not be enough to pay your bills (unless you are a super-poster), but this can certainly help you pay for a date night or whatnot along with improving your writing skills.
