IHype – New Paid to Blog Site

Jun 05, 2008 in This is a sponsored post


There is a new entrant to the Paid to Blog sector this month as iHype.com Launches it’s new service. I heard about it yesterday thanks to this Reviewme opportunity and am glad to spread the news about it as well as join it myself.

The idea behind all Paid to Blog sites is pretty similar across the board. The site is an intermediary between an advertiser looking for publicity for a web-site or service they offer and with some money to spend, and bloggers who are looking to make some money from their blogging. The blogger writes a post about the web-site or service and receives payment for it.

The advantages to the advertiser are two-fold. Firstly, they receive publicity and increase their profile among the blogs readership and secondly, there are SEO benefits since the post also includes a link back to their site and these back links are valuable if you want to increase your ranking with search engines.

As soon as I heard about the site I joined up immediately as I believe that the more of these Paid to Blog sites you are subscribed to then the more opportunities you will have available.

So far I’m still waiting for my site to be approved, but since I only registered a day ago that’s not so bad. Since I haven’t yet been approved I can’t avail of the opportunities so far but at the moment there appear to be a total of three on offer, each of them paying $10. Of the three my site appears to be eligible for two. The criteria for eligibility appears to be a combination of your sites Google and Alexa rankings.

I’ll post updates once my site is approved.

Selling Your Endowment Policy

Mar 19, 2008 in This is a sponsored post

EndowmentExpress.co.uk is a web-site to check out if you are looking for a quote to sell your endowment policy. They claim that they are able to sell endowments for up to 35% more than you would get from surrendering your endowment back to the life company.

The reasons why people may want to sell their endowment policies are varied but they all come down to the same root: need money quickly. This may be due to redundancy, divorce or some other reason that you need capital.

The process is simple enough: Fill out the online form to request a quotation. Endowment Express will then contact you with an offer for your policy. If you’re happy with the offer you can get the paperwork sent to you which will get things started. Payment should be completed within four to five weeks.

Obviously when someone is thinking of selling their endowment they will want to get the best price. That’s why it’s a good idea to visit a site like this to get a quote to see what your options are.

The web-site itself is very simple. There’s a freephone to ring if you want more information than is contained in the FAQs or About Us sections. What you’re probably interested in mainly though is the quote. The quotation form takes a few minutes to fill out. Those few minutes may be worth quite a lot.

PayDayLoansABC.com

Dec 17, 2007 in This is a sponsored post

This is a review of another web-site offering its services in the obviously crowded payday loan market. Payday Loans are short-term small advances of between $100-$500 on your next pay check and are intended to be repaid within that time period.

PayDayLoansABC readily admits that its services are available to people with bad credit who might have difficulty arranging an extension on their credit card or bank overdraft limit. The price that people with bad credit pay is simple: higher interest rates.

According to the web-site the time from the first online application to the lodgement of the amount requested to an applicants account will be within 24 hours. This lending service is available throughout most of the United States with some exceptions. Visit http://www.paydayloansabc.com/ for full details.

The requirements to qualify for a payday loan are also listed on the web-site but the main ones are: a monthly income of at least $1,000; no outstanding payday loans; a copy of your most recent payday stub; and, an active checking account.

Payday loans are not something that I have heard of being offered in Ireland but I have heard of sites that offer them in the UK. I can remember times in the past when I would gladly have availed of them if they were on offer to me. Christmas is an extremely difficult time for many people and the month-long hangover that occurs in January can be a nightmare. My thoughts are with them all.

Check Into Cash Payday Advance Centers

Nov 18, 2007 in This is a sponsored post

I’ve written previously about Payday loans. These are small, short-term loans which are designed to bridge the gap between pay checks. Check Into Cash have 1,250 centers across the US.

The way their service works is that you go into one of their centers with suitable ID, such as photo identification, a current bank statement and proof of income.. You give them a post-dated check for the amount you want to borrow plus their fee and they will give you an advance loan. The check you give them is dated to be drawn on your account on a date in the future, usually on your next payday.

These type of small bridging loans are useful for people with no savings who find themselves faced with a sudden unexpected bill or some other financial crises. This type of service provides peace of mind and saves the worry that the check you present to pay off your bill is going to bounce. You don’t need to worry about that because Check Into Cash already know that you don’t have the funds to meet the check right now.

I have been in similar positions in the past and I know that the last thing you want to have to worry about on top of everything else is the fear that your check will bounce.

Payday Loan Quotes

Nov 10, 2007 in This is a sponsored post

If you’re looking for a short-term cash loan ranging from between $100 to $1,500 in a hurry then http://www.paydayloanquotes.com might be worth a look.

You can apply with them online. Submit your details and they will match it against their list of lenders. They will then come back to you with the best offer available. There is also a phone number if you prefer to apply that way.

The requirements to qualify for a loan would be fairly standard for all lenders. You must be over 18 and have a job or other regular income. You would need a wide range of id such as address, drivers licence, social security number, checking account, as well as a telephone number, e-mail address and at least one personal reference.

Obviously there is no guarantee that there will be a lender willing to advance you the cash but, depending on the repayment rate you are willing or able to accept there might be a suitable lender out there for you. What Payday Loans does is match you up with them. Once you have found a lender the money can be electronically transferred to your account.

There is a comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions page on the site which seems to cover everything.
