How to Make Money with SnapBomb?
First, create an account at SnapBomb. It is free and takes only a few seconds! Add your blog to SnapBomb. Then they will evaluate your blog to give the ‘base value’. They do it very quickly. It is normally a range. Browse through the Snapbomb Marketplace to find available opportunities. Pick the suitable opportunity and write a blog post. Your blog post must contain a minimum of 150 words. They recommends all bloggers to clearly disclose that they are writing a sponsored post.
The ‘base value’ is that amount that you will get for writing a blog post. Snapbomb calculates your base value by taking data from different resources including sources for your blog traffic, readership, popularity, and their own internal data. Again, feedback ratings from advertisers will have an effect on your value. The more Snapbomb opportunities you post about, the more advertiser feedback ratings you’ll get. They also give Editor’s rating, that may help you in improving the value of your blog. Well, poor quality of blog posts may result in decreased base value. So, try to write good quality blog posts.
What about payments?
You will earn different amount for different opportunities. You earning will depend on the base value of your blog. They will pay you via PayPal or check. Minimum payment is $25 and payments are made after 60 days.
My views about SnapBomb:
This is not a sponsored post. I have tested their system with a different blog. The registration process is fast and easy. The base value concept of SnapBomb looks good. But, don’t expect to earn thousands of dollars from their opportunities. Well, new bloggers may surely try SnapBomb. It will help them to add some more dollars to their blog revenue!
Payments are made after 60 days. It means that, you have to wait 60 days in order to get payment for your first blog post! For me, 60 days is too long. It must be reduced, at least to 30 days.
Then, SnapBomb don’t have any kind of affiliate program. I consider this as a negative point for this kind of services. If you really want to create some kind of buzz among bloggers, you must have a referral program.
So, if you want to add a few extra bucks to your blog income, you should try SnapBomb. But, if you are making big bucks from other sources, it is probably not a better option for you! Well, anything can change with time. So, better keep an eye on it! Are you using SnapBomb? What you think about their service? Feel free to add your own views.
