Let me tell you about the newest way to get paid to blog-Social Spark. I can’t show it to you yet, because it’s still being tested (I’m an Alpha tester, how cool is that?), but SocialSpark is going to be HOT. I know that the debate over whether bloggers should write posts for which they have been paid is a controversial topic, but let me ask you this-if you are a stay at home Mommy Blogger, did you earn any money last year with your blog? Were you able to choose topics that interested you and your readers and get paid to write about them? Did you join a supportive community of bloggers who worked together to make sweeping changes to the company they all wrote posts for? I DID!
Whatever you might know about PayPerPost, you might not realize that last year, the company was reformed as part of IZEA. Social Spark combines a place to look for paid blogging opportunities with a personal page that features each blogger’s personal info, a friends list, a comment section, even a way to communicate directly with advertisers. It’s like Facebook plus MySpace plus GETTING PAID TO BLOG.
IZEA has also made great improvements in the types of paid blogging opportunities they offer, looking more for topics that interest parents. In the past few months there have been advertisers for children’s clothing stores, online coupon sites, home decorating, and recipe sites. I can honestly say that in the last year that I have been blogging for IZEA, I have made true friends, learned more about HOW to blog than I ever thought I would, and made several thousand dollars that I never would have made otherwise.

Thanks for the information..I’m gonna try that SocialSpark!
