So, as you can probably tell, I’ve started blogging for some dough again. My work hours simply just aren’t enough, and I’m struggling to get to the end of the month without dipping into my trust savings account, which is something I REALLY don’t want to do. Instead, I’ll be earning a little bit of money through blogging activity, which is something I enjoy doing anyway, so I figure, why not combine the two?

SocialSpark is Izea’s brand spanking newest family member. The site provides various social, and monetary aspects that are all a benefit to both advertisers and bloggers. Their market place provides many, many opportunities which bloggers can partake in, either for cash, links, or blogs in return. The community is very effective and helpful too. Members are willing to go out of their way to help the newbies (such as myself,) and the staff are equally as helpful.

The site design is easy to use too. All the information you need is in the one area. You can see popular opportunities for posting, sponsorship or “sparks” (Socially-‘funded’ aspects, such as blog-for-me, ill-blog-for-you opportunities) all on the homepage, amongst featured opportunities, featured blogs, and a handy little activity control panel, making it easy for the user to check messages, requests, and so on.

The best aspect of Socialspark is their code of ethics. They’re dedicated to their members, and put them first. They ensure that the bloggers and advertisers are getting the best of their site and opportunity, and ensure that no postie will be censored. The best part? It’s posts don’t affect your search engine rankings. We all know google doesn’t like us posties ;)

So yes. I’m a proud new SocialSpark member. :D
