It’s Not About The Money

When I first signed up with Social Spark I admit after placing the code in my blog I didn’t touch the service for a little while.  A few months ago I was talking to another member of I’m Not A Famous Blogger, who is my best friend forever, and she told me I should join this team because it’s a supportive team on Social Spark and very active. Little did I know I would be here writing on this blog telling you how I have grown to love Social Spark and all the friends I have made.

What I love best about Social Spark is the money, can I say that?! Ha ha! In all reality every one loves money, but it’s how you make the money that often sparks an interest or discourages me from participating.  I personally love the community support, the friendships made, the new products and websites I have been introduced to as well as the option to donate your revenue to your choice of charity (termed causes on Social Spark website).

Overall I have had a positive experience from Social Spark after a rocky start. When I first decided to be an active Social Spark member I had a hard time getting an open slot for paid post opportunities, but that soon became an issue of the past. I have now been able to take many open blog post opportunities and have seen how fast the auto approval system works and how fast payment clears. Social Spark doesn’t issue payment right away, after all they want to ensure the post you write stays an active link on your site.  I must say I am impressed with the timely approval of posts and finance updates, and the fact that I’m Not A Famous Blogger has really been a supportive community of bloggers.

Social Spark has really figured out how to create a community platform and combined it with positive, ethical promotion of brands! I am proud to be an active member of I’m Not A Famous Blogger!

    This post really resonates with me. When it comes to Social Spark, I had a bit of a slow start, too. However, now I see the true value of this community of bloggers. It's good to hear from a “veteran” and visit new sites, including Brandy's.

    Deb,
    Brandy really brought it with her 1st post. She asked if she could write for the blog, wrote and published within the day, she is on top of her game. Also the information is great.

    Duong,
    Are all your blogs approved int eh system? Depending upon the many factors you might not qualify for specific opps. Keep trying and improving your blogs. Being on blogspot puts you at a disadvantage overall though. Advertisers want bloggers who have their own domains and blogs.

    I agree with what Drew said … it was hard for me at first to get qualified opps but I took some CPC ads and worked my way into getting more qualified offers after building up my blog better! Keep your head up, they will come if you work at your blog and keep checking!

    I too have been signed up for some time but now just getting into Social Spark. There seems to be a lot of navigating that has to be done…meaning I am not sure where everything is just yet. I am hoping to get opportunities (one day), but right now I just want to get comfortable navigating around the site.
