Smorty

The paid post sites come and go, and some of them don’t seem to be going anywhere – and then suddenly get their act together and start moving.
One ‘small’ one called has been going for some months, but has been offering very little in the way of work to its bloggers. For most of that time it had only four opportunities to choose from; not many if you’re a lean and hungry blogger looking for a bit of spare cash.
Anyway, someone at Smorty has got their act together, and now the paid post opportunities are coming thick and fast. So thick and fast, that most posties won’t be able to keep up with them, I’d suspect. Still, it means that there is work out there. Furthermore, you don’t have to keep checking back into the site only to discover nothing has been added since your last visit, because Smorty are emailing their long-patient bloggers and letting them know when a new opportunity has arisen. That’s a service I haven’t seen on any other paid for posting site.
Of course, where there are people getting paid to blog there are people paying them to be able to advertise on blogs. They make an interesting mix: some of these advertisers are ones you'd never hear of otherwise. I find it's an intriguing way to discover businesses on the Net.
I'd love to know where they came up with the name, Smorty. It doesn't exactly strike any chords...but at least it's alive and kicking.
