If you like writing that might be a better option for you. Basically they pay you for articles, the more pageviews you get the more money you make. And it's residual so you could write a bunch of stuff up this year and still make money off of it next year. It won't make alot of money but it could be enough to buy some gas for a week or some groceries. Check out AssociatedContent.com. If you like writing that might be a better option for you.

I got turned down because my blog doesn't have enough readers. Oh well... I guess that settles that. Well scratch that lol… I got turned down because my blog doesn’t have enough readers.

I badly need something I can do from home to make a little extra, and doing them anyway... But I will start putting disclaimers on every review I do stating if its paid or not. I don't even know if I'll do that many, just seeing how it goes and if its worth it... Definately being honest here too, but not just out of fear (although that's true too... I don't want trouble either) but because anything else just feels wrong.

Actually as I think about this, a small disclaimer in your sidebar would be a great way to cover that! Then you won't have to worry about anyone contacting you to do any reviews and IF anyone else came poking along they wouldn't make false claims.

It is unfair and if you look at some blogs, they are very much like journalists. I think the guidelines do need to be tweaked. LOL, I am with you on the IRS....we have been through one audit and it wasn't pleasant. I would rather avoid it! I agree wholeheartedly with you on journalists getting the better end of the deal!
