There are several excellent sources for grabbing content for your blog, but very few also allow you to make a little money as well. The NewsRoom (TNR) is one such site that offers a wide variety of content rich videos and articles that you can freely add to your blog and earn many on a CPM basis.

TNR pays you for every “Mash” your video or article receives. You can imagine the possibilities if you are the first blog to get your hands on a “breaking” story. Although you won’t get rich from TNR you can definitely use their content to make a few extra bucks online.

So what exactly is the pay scale? Glad you asked:

Here is how you get paid! Each time you mash video or video feeds to your site and it is played by your viewers, you’ll earn a guaranteed CPM (cost per thousand). Additionally, you will get paid each time you mash text or an image and it is rendered or drawn by your viewers. As a registered participant of TheNewsRoom, we track your success.
