Signing up is free, of course, as any community driven website should be – once you’re signed up you can start submitting your posts (choose your best to have the greatest chance of doing well). You can even setup RSS feeds, so that your blog content is automatically turned into drafts – you only select the stuff you feel should be pimped on the front page.
Bloggers Base describes itself as “a content discovery platform for bloggers and readers alike that is bringing the concept of quality over quantity to the Web”. Basically, it’s a blogger cross version of Digg and Facebook, with the added bonus of you being able to earn some money out of the whole thing.
As the site is new, it’s easier to hit the front page than it is for sites like Digg, Delicious etc – sure, the exposure may be less, but these things often have ripple effects and at the very least you’re getting new eyeballs to YOUR content.
You submit your content, people vote it up (or down) and you earn money if you’re chosen as the top blog. Of course, the money isn’t the important thing here – the site is growing fast, and an indirect benefit of the cash rewards is that people will be looking at it more in depth – meaning that if you do hit the front page, you’ll see a decent amount of exposure.
The success of your posts depends on others – the more people that like it and vote it up, the more likely you are to hit the front page (and earn a cash prize).
The real money in Bloggers Base is by referring other people.
For each user you refer, you get 100% of their earnings for the first ten times they win.
You probably know a few half decent bloggers. A lot of them will not be signed up to Bloggers Base, simply because it’s so new.
If you invite them, and they sign up and hit it large… you can earn a lot of money.
Luckily, Bloggers Base has an easy way to invite people – you can invite friends by email, or even easier by using accounts on social networks like Facebook or other sites like Twitter. You promoting your content can generate a burst of publicity, and cash.
Although you do get paid for hitting the front page, at the moment it isn’t that much ($40, which is better than nothing but not exactly an amount you’d plan to achieve).
As each winner gets $40 (so do you), say you refer Big Blogger A. Big Blogger A has a following of 10,000 users, and those users love his content so much they publicize the crap out of everything he puts out.
Big Blogger A hits the front page ten times, he and you bank $400.
You can earn a maximum of $400 per user. Of course, this won’t be easy – the users need to have content good enough to hit the front page. If they do though, hitting it is definitely possible and so is getting a decent payoff.
The good thing about Bloggers Base is that they pay by Paypal (none of this cheque rubbish) whenever your balance exceeds $20. They pay monthly.
You get the idea. At the moment, there are a few bloggers that aren’t signed up to the program… have a try, see if you like it and if you do, politely pitch them the benefits. It never hurts 
By looking at the homepage, the main thing on the site seems to be tech related stuff (user susan is doing quite well for herself, having four of the entries currently on the homepage) so any of you that run tech blogs… have a go, you should do well. Tech isn’t the only thing though – there’s also a bit of stuff about entertainment, lifestyle and world opinions.
At the moment there doesn’t seem to be much content about marketing related stuff but as more users find out about the network (through these types of paid reviews) interest will surely increase.
It’s a new site, but there is potential – check it out, you could have some fun.
