As most of you know, SR is owned by MeyerTech, LLC. MeyerTech also owns a number of other sites, including some group blogs. Two of these are www.chattywomen.com and www.sheneedstoknow.com. We are happy to announce that we are actively looking for new bloggers on these sites. We like to keep it to the "SR Family" so that it doesn't get out of control, and you are all our SR Family. :)

Here are a few details....

If you want to blog for free, you will not be able to put any money-making links on your blog. The only exception is your Sunshine Rewards banner or any Sunshine Rewards links.

If you want a paid blog, it will be $5 a month (payable by Paypal) and you can put up any links you want as long as they are not direct competitors of Sunshine Rewards. You can link to other blogs you have as well. We just ask that you do not abuse it and post only links to your other sites.

Because we have had a really great group of bloggers, we do pretty well in Search Engine rankings and are building good Google Page ranks and Alexa rankings. This means that you stand a good chance of making a little extra money with the help of our seasoned bloggers.

I am sure that Kim, Cate, Heather, Janet, and Kristen would be willing to answer any of your questions here. Blogging can be a lot of fun, especially when you earn a little extra money. :)

Just to clarify Tricia, for people who want to start out and give blogging a try for free, the Sunshine Rewards links are just the referral link or the earnings banners correct. Not the SR links for Shopping Merchants (from the click here part of the merchant pages on SR) .

Right. Just the referral links. I forgot about the others!

I highly recommend starting off on Chattywomen if you are looking to start a new blog, or have batted around the idea of starting a niche blog before. With the support you get from Meyer Tech, as well as your fellow bloggers, it makes the big sea of blogging less scary.

I've been considering it. I had a friend tell me recently I should write a quilt shop and ice cream place blog, LOL. A few questions here....

Can you start out as free, see how it goes, and then go to paid later?
How much money do you make on average in a paid blog?
Tricia said no posting links on blogs for SR competitors. Does that basically mean just don't post a link to another reward program, or does it include merchants that aren't on SR? I just want clarification on that!

I think if I were to make the leap, it would be quilt/craft related, but I'm not 100% sure about it yet. I will say it was my friend's comment that really started me thinking about it.

You can definitely start free and see how it goes! I can't say how much the bloggers earn because I'm not really one of them. LOL! I'm guessing that it really varies on the month and how much time they put into it. I think our bloggers do post about merchants that are not on SR. Especially brick and mortar stores. Just no links to other coupon sites, rewards sites, or cash back sites.

Oh I like that. Is the coupons and discounts page a direct feed from SR?

It's actually through GoldenCan. But we're hoping to one day have our own!

Well obviously I can't speak for any of the other bloggers, but on a slow month I've been able to make roughly $30-60, but when I really apply myself and hit all my goals I've made over $100 before.

Natch, that has taken me awhile to get to, I have over 350 posts on the blog. So I don't want anyone to think that they will hit that the first month, but it is absolutely attainable!

It does take a bit of dedication, but if you are able to write about things that you love, it isn't difficult at all! I highly encourage people to join us. It can be very freeing having a blog that you can share with the world.:welcome:
