Recently I stumbled upon this site SocialSpark.com. The site provides offers based on your profile. All you need to do is to conduct product review, blog about it and collect payment. It is simple as that. The term "sponsored post" means that you get paid for writing sponsored reviews.
My initial thought was that "Sponsored reviews" may not work, as it tends to be biased and who would believe a sponsored review. Having review the terms and conditions, I realised that Social Spark is different and decided to join the company. Let me summarise the main features and let you decide if it is something you would consider for yourself.
Key features of Social spark.com
1. Honest review
While making money is a good thing, I would only do it with ethical means.
To me honest review is the way to go. I only promote products that I have tested with good results. In my review, I provide both positive and negative side so user can make an informed choice. Social Spark embrace honest review and that is important to me.
2. Full disclosure
With Social Spark, you are required to fully disclose the fact that you are being compensated. I think this is amazing and every blogger should fully disclose when they are being compensated for writing a review. Every site should have a Code of Ethics like Social Spark.
3. No follow tag
Google penalize blog if you accept paid links without the no follow tag, this means that you could lose your pagerank and traffic. Social Spark is different, it is one of few “sponsored post” companies that allow you to write content without fearing PageRank penalties, so each post you write will have the no-follow tag on all outgoing links This is really important in selecting a sponsor post company to join.
How to join Social Spark?
1. The terms and conditions clearly specify that blog site must have 20 posts within last 90 days. That is not too hard to achieve. I suggest you build up your blog site before you apply.
2. Site must be verified
In the registration process, Social Spark provides you with a set of Html code which you need to paste into your blog site to demonstrate you truly own that blog site. If you get the message "you must be added to the blogroll to take this opp", it is because your site verification process is not completed yet.
3. Once your site is verified, you fill up your profile details. Immediately the sponsor post opportunity is listed for you to choose.
Social Spark is one of the best “paid posting” site on the web. I recommend this company because they offer honesty, disclosure, and no-follow links. If you are a blogger looking for a way to increase your revenue, I would strongly recommend you to Sign up for SocialSpark
