Found Not Lost

I woke up this morning and in my inbox is a golden ticket! Yeah, I’m singing the song

What’s a golden ticket you ask? Well, the golden ticket is my pass to alpha test blogging’s Willy Wonka factory, the up and coming Social Spark! Social Spark is the next level of in paid blogging developed by the people at Izea.com.

You’ve probably heard of PayPerPost. I seems half of the bloggers I know have been using PayPerPost to earn money from blogging. Social Spark is similar in that you can still earn money blogging, but in a different way. Here are some differences between Social Spark and PPP:

1. All links are no-follow, fully search engine compliant and must carry in-post disclosure.
2. SocialSpark offers display ads as well as Sponsored Posts.
3. Greatly expanded reporting capabilities and blog analytics.
4. Ability to have bloggers or advertisers initiate a transaction.
5. Social networking tools to foster communities and conversation.

The downside is, the site is still in Alpha Test mode so there’s still lot’s of kinks to work out. And even though I got the golden ticket, I can’t tell you much about the site yet, because it’s down right now! Ah, but at least I got my ticket and as soon as they fix what it is they needed to do, I’m in the door!
