From a post on

You have probably already heard of ‘paid postings’ as a way to make money off a blog. There are many companies that serve as middle-men for advertisers, example: Smorty.com, Bloggerwave.com, Payperpost.com, etc… However, you cannot start a blog on one day and be making money off ‘paid postings’ the next day. All of the companies mentioned above require that your blog be at least ninety days old before you can even submit it to them for approval. Before submitting any blog to one of these ‘paid posting’ services make sure you have read and meet all the requirements. I say this because with most of these ‘paid posting’ services, once your blog is declined, you will have to wait another ninety days before you can resubmit it. That can be a long ninety days, especially if it is an unnecessary wait.
The first ninety days of your blog’s lifespan is a good time to get it ready. To do this you should be publishing a lot of posts. Now, I do not mean a whole bunch at one time. You should commit to making at least three posts a week. Make sure one of those posts is a minimum of two-hundred words.
The subject of a blog really does not matter, the ‘paid posting’ services are looking for traffic and page ranking. If your blog’s host (Blogger, Wordpress, etc.) does not offer a traffic counter, get yourself one. Many places will give you a free counter. In most cases, all you will have to do is put a small ad on your blog/website. Do a Google search for “free counters”. I use AmazingCounters.com; they come up on the first page of results. The ad I had to put on my blog was small; I think it is for ‘PlayStation’. Once you have your counter you will be able to monitor your blogs traffic. Check your stats the day before and after you publish posts, to see if one of the posts gets more views and/or brings more visitors. Writing posts that people will (and want) to read is an important step to making a blog that people will come back to.
