Digital Vegetarian

I while back I wrote a post about ‘How to Monetize your website‘ - Now, when I wrote that my goal was to learn new and fresh ways to start making money off the Internet. It seems that one of the ways to monetize is by blogging about topics for others who are promoting things of interest and relevance to your blog community. As the ‘Digital Vegetarian’ is really about learning all things Internet and lots of other fun stuff, this is an easy site to work with on this front. I can talk about anything I want, of course my goal is to talk about what my readers are interested in.

As some of you know I won the ‘Shoeperstar‘ contest put on by IZEA Inc. and Shoemoney which allowed me to participate in SXSW Interactive with those folks and shoot an episode of the reality series, ‘RockStartup‘ that follows the IZEA crew and their efforts. They’ve recently created and launched a new interesting platform and community for bloggers and advertisers to get together for the purpose of helping match up great blogs and content that is relevant with new content that would fit well. The system in place at Social Spark allows for this to be much better managed by all parties.

The bloggers simply browse the current opportunities that are posted by the advertisers. If you decide to accept an opportunity, once approved you will have a ‘timeslot’ within which to create a post on your blog. This is all managed by the social spark system and is relatively straightforward once you get the hang of a few posts.

As shown below, you simply ‘browse’ the opportunities in the ‘Marketplace’ section of SocialSpark.

What’s nice about this system is that it was designed by the creators’ of Pay-Per-Post who have learned from their previous work what works and what doesn’t from the valuable feedback they have received from users all along.

Important to note, is that the code of ethics is highly respected and enforced.

• 100% Audit-able ‘In-Post Disclosure’
• 100% Transparency
• 100% Real Opinions
• 100% Search Engine Friendly.

This post was made about Social Spark as an exercise for our readers and to spread the word about this great new ‘manageable’ way for bloggers to find things to blog about and make money at the same time.

Till Next time,
