Social Spark For Bloggers

[toffee2014]

Hey,

Was looking at additional ways to monetize my blog site and came across this website. Basically, you pick brands that you will like to write for , you wait for leads from the company, they approve you if they like the look of your blog , you publish a post about the brand and then get paid for it . You set your own price and can alter it later. They can offer to pay you more than your set price too. I've chosen brands that i know i could make work with my blog... For example GAP , i know i could write a post about that it fit nicely on my website.

I've heard really good reviews so far, so thought i'd give it a try. Apparently, payment takes around 30 days . When you write a post, you will use their Wordpress platform and then publish on your site later. You have to authorise permissions to your website , so they can post it directly on there ( you can amend the post later if you wish) , i was a bit worried about that part but the reviews show them to be trustworthy.

If you do decide to sign up , could you use my link ... : http://izea.in/r1Wjc ( Yes referral program)

There are lots of blogs online talking about this company and some of you may already know about them but just thought i'd let you guys know .

Taken a look at the site, looks quite interesting

Can you talk more about payments and how much you can expect to earn for writing a post?

You set your own rate and its per post. I set mine at 5 dollars but i will increase as time goes on.

In the 2 years I have been on Social Spark, I have never had a lead come through. They usually want to pay peanuts and after spending so much time and effort on my blog, I am not prepared to lend out valuable space for $10-$20 when a company is willing to pay me 4-5 times that
