Daily Happy Thoughts

Recently, I signed up for SocialSpark, which was launched by Izea to create yet another way for advertisers and bloggers to connect and do business. Apart from being an opportunity to make money through blogging, SocialSpark is also about community.

Once you are signed up, you can be free to interact with fellow bloggers and give them props or drops whenever you feel like doing so. You can also make friends with other bloggers. So you see, it isn’t at all pure business. What’s more, they are pretty serious about their code of ethics which is:

• 100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure

Each sponsored post opportunity within the SocialSpark marketplace provides the blogger a small snippet of code for a Disclosure Badge. The Disclosure Badge must be placed at the end of each post without exception.

• 100% Transparency

Every participant in SocialSpark is made viewable to the public. The public can also see which bloggers are working with which advertisers on which opportunities. This is designed to keep the community honest and open about the transactions that occur.

• 100% Real Opinions

Subject to the specific agreement you form with an advertiser, you are free to write or say whatever you want. SocialSpark itself has no restrictions on how you express your genuine thoughts on an advertiser’s product or service. It’s up to you to pick the Opportunities that best suit you and your blog.

• 100% Search Engine Friendly

Each sponsored link in SocialSpark automatically carries the “no-follow” attribute so as not to affect search engine rankings. This is designed to protect bloggers and advertisers from search engine penalties based on paid linking.

Joining up at SocialSpark is free and easy. You just need to have a blog and a PayPal account, so that they have somewhere to send your money to. So if you have a blog, and are looking to make extra cash, why don’t you check out their site and sign up now.
