Blogging for money

Similar to the last post, I want to write a bit about another way of making money online that I am researching. It is blogging for money. Originally, the concept puzzled me because I did not know why people would want to pay others to rant or rave about their own lives, but as I've learned, these sorts of blogs or posts or articles are written to be informational instead of updates on personal lives. I figured I could get into this deal because I enjoy learning from what others have written and I think it is time I write to help others as well.

I am looking into two sites to see if they do truly pay for writing online:

Associated Content AKA AC
Associated Content at the Better Business Bureau
So far this site is vast and cumbersome and overwhelming to me but I think with time I will get used to it. So far I wrote an article that looks suspiciously familiar to the very post on this blog. As I see it, why not post in both places? Also, AC's terms say that it is OK to post content from elsewhere when it is your own content (and this article is my own content).

AC pays from $3-$20 per post. When I see I've gotten some money, I'll write about it here on this blog.

PayPerPost
No Better Business Bureau Report that I could find...
This site too seems vast and overwhelming. I am even less familiar with it than Associated Content but I know I'll learn more with time. The concept behind this one is to review different sorts of things on a blog (like this one) and if you follow all rules specified, you will be paid a certain amount of money. This concept reminds me of the surveys I've done.

I'm signed up with PayPerPost and now have to wait a few days to be allowed to start reviewing. When I am allowed I'll post about it here.
