Our friends at Izea, responsible for the widely successful PayPerPost, have just launched their newest endeavor on the web, SocialSpark. This website promises to be the newest success story in the blogging world.
The biggest issue for most bloggers out there is gaining traffic. SocialSpark is designed around this idea. Driving traffic to the members’ sites. The community approach that the site brings encourages the kind of social networking activity that has made success stories out of many other familiar websites. Combining these efforts to drive traffic and create an open community, SocialSpark also is a great way to earn some extra money from your blogging efforts. SocialSpark doesn’t just want you to post a link and collect your money. This site encourages real opinions from their member blogs while showing full disclosure of what is a sponsored post.
Their new marketplace gives many different options in how to participate in the blogging community. The post option is still featured and gives a blogger cash to write an opinion on a given topic. The reservation system works much better than other sites where you have to keep hitting refresh to sign up for any good posts. Another option in the marketplace is to exchange posts with another blogger. Two bloggers write articles about the other bloggers site for free.
The new site is easily navigated with only a few minor glitches as they work through the Beta phase. The full disclosure of sponsored posts makes it very search engine friendly.
