So you all know that I post for pay here at this blog. You see the occasional post that usually has nothing to do with jewelry or crafting, but they do pertain to my life for the most part, so it works. At least I hope you, dear readers, think it works!

IZEA, the company behind PayPerPost, has started another creative way to monetize your blog for minimal effort called SocialSpark. But it is not just about blogging for money; it is also about building a sense of blogger community and helping to increase traffic. We all want more traffic. We all want more readers. It is a combination of per per post and social networking and it seems to work well. I know that I have added to my blogroll here through SocialSpark and I know that others have found me as well.

I like that they have requirements standards and a code of ethics:

-100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure
-100% Transparency
-100% Real Opinions
-100% Search Engine Friendly

I also like that there are different kinds of opportunities for earning income and increasing traffic through outright posting for pay, sponsored posts, and links trades. The social aspect means that you can identify “friends” and search for new blogs to read much as you would through some of the other social networking sites. It is one stop shopping for bloggers. And for a busy blogger like me, that is a good thing.

So go check out SocialSpark. I bet you will sign up for a membership today after you see how cool it is. If you do, let me know so that I can “friend” you.
