It has been too long a wait till my Nuffnang account attained Glitterati status. The site says it's a 4 days wait, and I finally decided to delete off this blog and my old beauty topic blog and just make-do with my new blog Pu Niao's Beauty Junkie Reviews. And it took an actual 1 week plus before it got to the Glitterati status.

I would say, it has been a long well-deserved "reward" for staying as a member of Nuffnang Singapore. I previously tried it for this blog and even went as far as deleting other ads and related blog advertising links for a shot. 1 week later, still no Glitterati status.

Why Glitterati status, you all might wonder? That is because:

Q. What is an "Exclusive Nuffnanger"??

A. An "Exclusive Nuffnanger" is a Nuffnang blogger who has NO advertisements from, mentions of, or links to other ad networks originating from SEA, or any ad networks we deem as competitors on his/her blog.

Why You Should Join The Nuffnang Glitterati

1) Payment Rates for both Cost Per Unique Visitor and Cost-Per-Click.

The less ads a blogger has on his blog, the higher share of voice and the less each ad will have to compete with other ads for attention. Hence, the higher the CTR and the higher the value of that particular ad space on the blog.

That is why for example you will never see 8 different ads on the same page on a newspaper unless it's in the Classifieds where each advertiser pays a small amount. As a result of that, Glitterati Nuffnangers will earn 20-40% more than ordinary Nuffnangers.

2) Payment Terms

In the advertising industry just like in many industries, payment from advertisers come from specific terms like 60 or 90 days. In the past, Nuffnang has used its cash reserves to pay off bloggers for campaigns that we still have not been paid for by our clients. Due to the great increase of bloggers in the Nuffnang community, we are no longer able to provide this service for all our Nuffnangers and unfortunately will have to restrict this service to Nuffnang Glitterati members.

However, all Nuffnangers will still be paid in a timely manner as stipulated in the Program Table.

3) Advertorial Opportunities

Many bloggers know that while banner ad campaigns earn a decent stable income, it is advertorials that pay the most. Each advertorial depending on the advertiser, commitment and traffic can earn a blogger a substantial amount not including freebies that may sometimes be included.

In the past, advertorial opportunities were available for all our Nuffnangers. However, due to the high demand for advertorials and the need for us to narrow down which blogger of the thousands will get advertorials, only exclusive bloggers will now be eligible for advertorials.

4) Community Events

Nuffnang is known to organize the biggest community events ever which range from free movie screenings, lunch meet ups and many more. We find that in many of these events, many Nuffnangers would like to bring guests along with them and we at Nuffnang would like to oblige as much as we can.

As such, 70% of the seats for each event will be allocated to Nuffnang Glitterati AND the guests they may bring.

5) Contests

Contests among Nuffnangers have been something we've been having quite a lot with many bloggers winning everything from free meals at Friday's to mobile phones or even the upcoming contest of a free trip to Gold Coast. With the high demand for these contests, we will give priority to Nuffnang Glitterati with 70% of the prizes to be allocated to them and the remaining 30% to be allocated to non-Nuffnang Glitterati.

In other words, being an "exclusive" Nuffnanger a.k.a Glitterati status simply meant that I can earn 20-40% more based on CTR (Click-Through-rate) as opposed to a regular Nuffnanger who isn't under the Giltterati status. In terms of payments, blog ad opportunities and also contests, I can get more payment than opposed to me previously holding Normal status.

It does seem pointless that I can write pretty well and state my case and in this case, have a dedicated beauty reviews blog with true honest views and opinions and only be a Normal Nuffnanger. Basically a waste on my writing talents, I would say *cries*

What about you, my readers? Would you go as far as to delete off other blog ad opportunities on your blog to focus on just one simply for the benefit and purpose of getting higher payouts?
