How to make money with Blog Engage – I made $750
I joined Blog Engage in December 2011. And I guess, it was one of the most profitable moves in my blogging history (yeah, it’s not more than two years but still). I have already written about Blog Engage community and how it’s a right place for blog promotion. But for those who are new to my blog and Blog Engage, here’s what it is all about.
Blog Engage is one of the largest online blogging communities out there. It allows us to submit your blog Article(s) that will be placed in queue and promoted by the members to the front page. It’s not only the largest but one of the most interactive communities. For more information, you can read the article I linked in first paragraph.
Now, I would like to come to the main point. I know you are curious.
How to make money with Blog Engage
Join Blog Engage Guest Blogging Contests
For last few months, Blog Engage has been the main source of my income through blogging. As I said, I made $750 in last few month from Blog Engage. If you do read my blog regularly, then you might have seen my posts about $500 CONTESTS hosted over Blog Engage. And the good thing about contests there is that the contests are hosted one after another. The Blog Engage guy; Brian doesn’t take a break. The day a $500 contest ends, Brian is ready with another $500 contest the very next day.
I think, the point is quite clear now. I participated in Blog Engage contest #2, #3 and #4 (all are links, open and check them out) and luckily I WON first prize of $250 in all of them. Yeah, made a Hat Trick. The second prize is of $150 and third is for $100. Many Blog Engage members have made some good money with these contest hosted by Blog Engage in about every one and a half month. Of course, you will have to write a good article and get some traffic towards your article, get likes, tweets etc (yeah, that’s what contests are, and that’s what contests are for). I don’t think, it’s a bad deal to get $s in exchange of a bit of promotion. Oh yes, how can you forget about the traffic YOU/WE are going to have back from Blog Engage and solid PR4 back links.
There is a contest currently being hosted on Blog Engage, that is, contest #5. Maybe, you are a bit late to participate, there are only two days left to submit your entries. And 15 days left for article promotion and the winners will be announced. If you can’t prepare an article in two days then you can just wait for the next one (I am sure Brian will be having more. At least, I hope so. Brian, are you listening?)
UPDATE 1
Contest #5 is over and #6 has been started.
I have participated in Blog Engage contest number 6. And I would be really grateful to you if you can come and stop by my entry… Leave your genuine comments and do a little button dance by hitting all the share buttons…
Here’s my article: 10 Things That Make You Look Like a SpammerUPDATE 2
Contest #6 is also over. I won 3rd prize in contest #6.
Get a chance to win $1000 at the end of the year!
Okay, it doesn’t finishes here. If you have participated in ANY of the contest over Blog Engage which were hosted this year then you will get qualified for the final contest with prize money of $1000 at the end of the year. Like, I participated 3 times, so I have 3 time chances to get that prize. Point which is to be noted is, this is NOT necessary that you should have WON any of the contests, but you should have participated to get qualified for the final contest. Isn’t that cool? So, if you don’t get any prize in these contests, you will still have chances to get the $1000 at the end.
This $1000 contest was hosted last year as well.
UPDATE 3
The final contest has also been started for Best Guest Blogger 2012. Please do support me and please like, share, tweet, +1, Vote, LinkedIn on my article and join the conversation. Here’s the article: How did I win my 5 blogging contests back to back?
Sign up for Blog Engage!
I have mentioned this in my previous articles that the entry in this community is not FREE. You will have to pay one time sign up fee of $19.99… ok $20, fine? But $750 in return of $20, bad? huh? In addition to chances of getting $1000 at the end of the year. Uh.. now it’s time for YOU to think about it. You can visit this page to sign up for the community (aff link).
Earn money by being an affiliate for Blog Engage – Affiliate lights
Now, this is also a good way to earn money with Blog Engage once you have joined it. You can earn commission on referring people to Blog Engage; 25% for each sale you deliver. And also a $10 sign up bonus. It means you will get $10 for signing up for affiliate lights. The minimum payout is just $25, I don’t think it’s hard to achieve.
What’s on your mind now?
Do you think, Blog Engage is a good place to earn money (as I earned)? Would you like to join next $500 contest?

Hi Abhi, man what a great article. You worked hard and you earned this money. You had some crazy competition and you excelled to become the winner. This is such a great post to show some of the true benefits Blog Engage can offer. But hey, let’s face the facts, we only offer an opportunity, people make all sorts of excuses why Blog Engage doesn’t work for them, I don’t have time, to much competition, I’m just to late to join and so much more.
This is why they are losers and you my friend are a winner. No body has the right to say they don’t have time, you won three contests, went to school, and worked all at the same time. If people want something bad enough they can make it happen, the problem is too many people are lazy, you my friend are not lazy.
It’s been such an honor working with you and watching you grow over the past year. I hope you can join our next two contests as we proceed with the contest every 45 days. This is our goal and so far we are good to go.

You know Brian, when I was writing this article, I was thinking about those who keep b*tching about Blog Engage and I just tried to SHUT THEM up.
I agree, I had to work hard, you how tough are all participants. And yes, we can make it if we really want something.
What you are saying I am not lazy? Hajra, are you listening? See what Brian’s saying.
Brian you gotta see Hajra’s next guest post which would be published on oddblogger in next few days.I would thank YOU Brian for hosting these contests and giving us a chance to earn some good amount of money, grow our blog, get noticed and whatever else you did.
I hope, I can participate in the next one. One break was good enough to get rest.

WOW Abhi!! Its a great amount I feel. Blogging is a source of income for some while its a medium of relaxation for some people.It totally depends on the person how they accept it. The tips that you have highlighted in earning bucks from blog engage is definitely going to be beneficial for those who wants to earn from blogs. I do blogging as it is my passion and a medium of relaxation. I also feel that blog is the best place to interact with people. Thanks for the share!! Great effort I must say..

Hello Aditi,
You are absolutely correct there. Many people do blogging for hobby, that makes them feel good, but these days, most of the people do this for money, especially, youngsters.
And yes, that’s true that blogging helps us to meet new, different people around the world. That is my favorite part by the way.

You are a poster child for how to make Blog Engage work for you Abhi, congrats on your success with the contests my friend. I have a fair share of earnings from BlogEngage myself but not nearly as much as you managed to make from winning the guest blogging contests.
I may however be the highest affiliatelights earner, having earned over $261 just from affiliatelights commissions of Blog Engage though!

Congrats Abhi. It is amazing what one can achieve when the right effort and determination is given to. This is how you make things happen and you have excelled in your efforts to get there. I guess that’s why you were able to “nick” these prizes.
As I like to say, “the only person who make things happen is you” … lol, at least that’s where everything starts. Keep it up my friend.

Hello DiTesco,
My first question is, where did you get this article link? From my message?
You are the one of the best supporters, helpful friends I have got online. Really. These type of comments motivates me more. From you, Brian, Justin and all. Now there are so many awesome people around me.
Thanks for you appreciation. It means a lot.

Abhi – your a madman! Seriously though – you are solid proof that a hard working college student can earn some extra dough and have fun doing it! But it does take a lot of work!
And even if you don’t earn that kind of money at Blog Engage? It is still well worth the investment in terms of networking with other bloggers and the exposure your blog will get!
I think the failings people have with the service have been either A) Feeling they are not getting the type of ROI they were expecting (without doing the work) or B) Thought it was some type of magic fix to get them a million visitors to their site.

Hello Jason,
It’s really good to see you here on my blog.
I am just glad I could prove something.
And you are absolutely right. If we see this in terms of network with new and AWESOME, professional bloggers and traffic to my blog, then I am a millionaire. LOL! no, but seriously, now I have got some many awesome blogging friends. And still getting some traffic from my old contest entries.
I would prefer to not talk about those who don’t like BE and say that BE doesn’t work for them. I think, my article is a good enough answer to them. Just suppose $750 + Traffic + 4000+ backlinks + awesome blogging friends + network in JUST $20 or $30 (whatever is the price now).
That is only WE who can make things work for us. As Brian said in his comments that he can give an opportunity only.
