When I first discovered paid blogging, I was cautiously optimistic. It seemed too good to be true that I could get paid for something that I was already doing and enjoying. But I took the plunge, and I’m glad I did.

Blog advertising is growing in leaps and bounds, and many new companies have sprung up since I got started. How do you know which one is right for you? You could try to find bloggers that are using each company and ask them. But that could prove difficult and time-consuming. Or you could visit the paid blogging forums at GeekySpeaky.com.

At the Geeky Speaky forums you can find topics about all of the players in the paid blogging game. And under each one you will find discussion between bloggers who have used the service, including tips, strategies, and known issues.

If you’re already familiar with paid blogging, be sure to sign up and share your thoughts. There are also other Internet-related topics, as well as general chit-chat. It’s a great place to learn about all things blogging.
