A new content discovery platform where bloggers can monetize on their talent (http://www.bloggersbase.com)
I just recently discovered this website early this month in which subsequently I just found out that the website just started in December 2008.
The website is called BloggersBase.com and is a new Blogging community where you can share your content, enter in weekly cash prizes, actively view/engage the best posts of your favorite niche and gain exposure for yourself as a blogger.
I really like this website because it’s still in Beta and I got a chance to explore the community and provide some of my posts on my website that may of not got much exposure with other avenues. So I got a chance to test a new audience and a new source of results.
I also noticed one of our Favorite Social Media Marketers is Blonde 2.0 is an active contributor and advocate on the site.
The Blog Competition
The website has it’s standard categories to post your content to; Entertainment, Lifestyle, Technology, World Affairs, Special Events and Partnerships. Each parent category has it’s own sub-categories.
I am a Tech & Social Media blogger so I found Technology->Internet to post to. What’s unique about BloggersBase is that you can re-publish your content that you already written and does not have to be an exclusive article. This is great especially if you are time constraint and wishing to just get more exposure with an article you have written before.
Nuggets
When you first start out you are assigned a newbie rank as a blogger and a reader. You can promote in ranks for both “Blogger” and “Reader” rank with the more you participate in. With the higher ranks you achieve, you will gain “Influence” or Authority.
For Example: A lowbie “Reader” rank who comments and votes. Your votes are counted very little. When you gain more higher ranks, your votes will have more value.
A lowbie “Blogger” when posting new posts will not be displayed in the voting competition right away. The newbie blogger will instead be put in a “Nuggets” category where you have to gain certain votes to get out of. Once out of the “Nuggets” stage you can then post your posts to the voting competition.
Weekly Prizes
Since Bloggersbase is fairly new, you have less competition and more of a chance to win the weekly cash prizes every week. Like I said, I just started and already won $50 in 2 weeks time.
$40 for first prize and $10 for second prize.
Payment is sent to Paypal which is great because its fast and secure.
The winners will receive also status points for the “Blogger” rank system, promotional prizes (one week was a BloggersBase Ipod), Cash prizes and the title of Author to keep posting posts to the main blog instead of writing new “Nuggets” for that week.
Conclusion
The last reason why you should join BloggersBase is because most posts have already hit the front page results for Google. This is another great SEO technique similar to posting to EZine Articles and other posting platforms.
So join now, its Free and less competition right now. I will see you around Bloggersbase.
