I’m sure there is a lot of bloggers, are earning from their blog as part of their income.
Although not much of the bloggers nowadays earn much, but I do know quite a huge number of them are professional bloggers who make a fortune via blogging.
As you can see, the best way to earn from blogging is by posting advertorials. This is not something fresh in oversea, in fact it has beens started since a lot years ago. And in Malaysia, there are also a lot of the bloggers are professional bloggers who are writing professional reviews and make a profit out of it. Of course, they do know the guidelines and the ethics of writing advertorial, which one of the rules is, “Honest Reviews”.
By “Honest Reviews”, it means the advertiser have to accept no matter the review is positive or negative, as long as what is posted in the articles is the facts.
But anyway, there are also a lot of the bloggers in Malaysia do not know about these and just simply writing fake reviews, and follow exactly what the advertiser wants, regardless the facts authenticity, with extremely low pays. And these unethical bloggers are satisfied with only the pay of RM50 which require them to sell their soul to devils and cheating their readers.
To be specific, these are usually bloggers tied under some popular blogging media companies in Malaysia, where most professional bloggers usually avoid due to already know these companies are actually scamming the advertisers and the bloggers.
And yet, a lot of celebrity wannabe bloggers still attached to these companies and willing to sell their soul just for some RM1.50 advertorials which do not allow them to write honest reviews.
These celebrity wannabe bloggers thought that they were paid to write something, they are already some blogger which are very valuable. But in the real world of professional blogging, the pays are much much more higher and there are some guidelines to follow. And they do not even know about the ethics of becoming a professional blogger where they shall not write something which deceiving their readers.
