SnapBomb - Get paid to blog
I just found out about a new website called SnapBomb which is a new paid to blog or paid to review site. I just joined so I thought I could create some buzz about it.
Now you probably think “Haven’t we had enough with these types of sites?“, then my answer is “No!“. Since the Google page rank slap, many lost the most of their online income. Even if you got slapped, you don’t need to worry about that on SnapBomb. Even if you have PR-0 blog, you can still join!
How it works for bloggers
First you have to join SnapBomb, which is free, and add your blog/s. Then your blog/s will be evaluated which only takes a few seconds (instead of waiting weeks for it like on other sites) . Then each blog will be given a certain minimum and maximum dollar value, through this you will know how much you can earn.
The value of the blog is calculated by “it’s popularity, expertise in a field, and their audience size and reach”.
Then you can go straight to the opportunity list. When you choose an offer, you have 12 hours to finish your post. Then they will review your post and provide you with feedback and a rating to get you started.
Since this is my very first post for them I have no clue on how it will go. Only the future will tell, but it looks very promising!
Remember that you have to earn $25 before you can get paid and that you will get it 60 days from the time you created your post.
To the advertisers I can say that SnapBomb can be quite popular for blog marketing really soon!
Hi Malin,
I too signed up with Snap Bomb and got two assignments at the off which I completed. I am okaaayyy with waiting the 60 days for payment however I am a little sus about how they do not ask you for your Paypal details at the start…
I have questioned this via their feedback and have had no reply yet so I have also sent an email to their support team. And still await an answer.
Maybe I am a little cynical but if I get no clarification from Snap Bomb within 7 days then I will make sure their posts are bombed!
No free advertising from me!!

60 days?! That is insane.

Yeah it does seem a weeee bit long to wait for you money BUT at first glance this site has the potential for being quite a decent money earner.
They do not ask bloggers to ditch their no-follows - like certain OTHER sites with three ‘P’s in their title therefore leaving them open to death by Google - and they do not require one to churn out a never ending succession of interim posts…such a thing really racks the brain cells after a while.
But like I said, I am willing to stick with this company on the condition I get answers to my questions within 7 days. After that, if get no satisfaction, their posts are gone from my site and I give them some ‘feedback’ of my own on m blog.
I am sure Malin will be only too happy to put her dime’s worth in as well if they are not on the level…and I will be so happy to read what she has to say!

Wendy: If you hear back from them, please let me know! 60 days is a long time, but if they do pay, I have no problem with that. I also took two opps and I’m not taking anymore until I see it works out well. So I will rapport how it goes :)

Hi Malin,
just got an email from ’support’ in answer to my question about payments seeing as they do not ask for Paypal details at the the off; here it is…
“Payments currently go to the email address you have on file, but we are working on making a better view of all your earnings and payments, etc and should be out in the next week or two.”
I take it they assume our given email address is our Paypal address. I will be watching this carefully over the following seven days. I thought they would have all this sorted out before launching!
Having said all that, I hope it all pans out well as, like I said and as Malin has stated, this site could well be a great little money spinner.

i wrote one here:

i’m not sure if that will be considered first as an application, though.

Hi Happy,
I’m not going to really bother with Snap Bomb . When I signed up and wrote the initial review about Snap Bomb itself my base value was $9.61, since then the value appearing next to it has gone down to $3.55 on one page but is at the original amount on another! They appear to be a bit out of whack with things.
Currently my earnings are at $19.02 for the two initial posts, have had none since and I am still awaiting word from them re payment arrangements. In short I am not filled with confidence about Snap Bomb right now.

While I am on about paid reviews I am also angry with PPP - we have all heard of them. I had my second blog accepted last week with PPP and joined the bloodsport that is involved in trying to snare an Op there when you are PR0.
Couple of days later I have jumped to PR2 - whoopee! all my hard work rewarded and what happened yesterday?
Back to zero again due to adhering to PPP’s T of S regarding posting without no-follows. Google tracked me in a flash and slashed me. God I was stupid to post their dumb little banner on my site!
I’m pretty pissed with Google and PPP right now. I have not been posting on PPP lately with my original blog due to my being suspended - PPP and I have agreed to disagree on our matter.
However tomorrow my suspension is over and I am to be re-instated with PPP; but I am going to tell them to shove it. I have a good PR on this blog and am not going to risk it by doing what PPP ask. There are other places that do not ask bloggers to compromise their work.
If no-one here has heard about it yet then I’d like to recommend PayU2Blog. Give them a try!

I got paid by them last week! And I got paid for both posts I made. How did it go for you?

No, haven’t been paid as yet. I posted for them back in March though. Still, 90 days is a bit long to wait don’t ya think?
Haven’t bothered with them since then, their ‘blog value’ crap pisses me off.
Are you buying something nice for yourself then…???

Hey, just noticed…they are supposed to pay out after 60 days not 90!!
After checking I posted for them back in Feb and have still not received a cent. As you posted before I did…I found them here…maybe I have a few days to wait yet.
Still, they haven’t asked me for my PayPal details yet…

Hey Wendy!
I remembered now that I logged in about a month ago to check, and then there was a form where you could fill in your Paypal e-mail, that wasn’t there when we registered. Perhaps that’s the problem. They haven’t informed anyone about it!

Do they have alternate payment options? How good are the chances of a PR0 blog, anyone tried?
