I received an email earlier today saying that I had been given a bonus at Social Spark. The first time I didn't ready the message correctly, I thought it would be a bonus opportunity. Which is great but I usually get to them only to be met with the line:
**US BLOGGERS ONLY**
To my surprise I logged into my account and checked my messages. I'd been awarded a $25 bonus on a post I had already written and been paid for. The post was to advertise some coupon codes for GoDaddy and the had given me the bonus. So thank you social spark and thank you godaddy. I've had mixed feelings about social spark but this has definately made up for all those US Blogger Only comments I see on most of the posts I can qualify for.
Right lets go look for some more opps with $100 bonuses.

Paid Postings
So now this blog is pay per post approved. It is also listed on Social Spark but I'm still awaiting for an approval verification from there. It seems to be a bit of a 2 bit system over there with many things that need sorting. I've recently been told that I don't meet the requirements for a post after being approved for it and "them" reserving the opportunity for me.
This has happened a few times so I have stopped taking opportunities from them for the time being. I am due to be paid today for my first social spark post. With not using them its fallen at a great time that I have had an advertiser from Sponsored Reviews get in touch about a $20 opportunity (of which i get $13) so that should keep things running while I can find a few more opportunities on pay per post etc.

Another Pay Per Post - Post
Well its finally happened, my blogspot blog has been accepted at Pay Per Post. I took an opportunity yesterday only to find that my blog hadn't been added to the list of where I could write that particular post.
I'm wondering if there is an option to disclude (I don't think that's a word!) them or whether it was just too soon after being approved. Anyway I'll see how the next opp goes and report back.
Another update - Funds have started to be paid for jobs I've taken in the last 30 days, the total should be over $100 after all payouts have completed, plus about $20 from Social Spark. For now anyway its another $10 to the total.

Pay Per Post Frustration
Well its gone from having no opportunities to having more that I've ever had.
I have taken 6 or 7 opportunities in the last week and a half, sometimes 2 per day. The problem is that 2 posts have been disallowed. It just so happens that one of these was a $15 opportunity, the highest I've taken from Pay Per Post.
The reason the first post was disallowed was due to it appearing next to another sponsored post from pay per post. Fair enough I should have remembered their policy and posted a non sponsored post in between. But they didn't even give you the chance to re-submit the post, which I thought was a little poor seen as you'd got the post ready. Surely the advertiser would like the posts and links up sooner rather than waiting for someone else to write the post.
Anyway, fair enough on that one. In between this I took an opportunity from Social Spark, this post got approved and then I posted one from Pay Per Post. Now pay per post said that this post was no good due to the post around it not been good enough. I know they own both businesses through IZEA but c'mon. There is nothing to say that any post isn't "sponsored" from somewhere as most places ask you not to put that fact! So I felt a little sore over that one. A possible $25 extra to the total gone after the work had been done.
Anyway, 2 posts from social spark completed, (one still awaiting approval) and 7 posts completed and approved from pay per post (it so could have been 9). So once payments have been made I will update the totals.

Social Spark
I have just signed up and had one of my blogs approved at:
This is a social community/pay per post site from IZEA the owners of PayPerPost. So far I have applied for a few blogging opportunities but there looks to be a queuing system if all possibilities have been taken.
Payments seem to be higher that PayPerPost for blogs without PR. As high as $27.50 if you have a blog fitting the correct topic and $12 for general every topic blogs.
Here's hoping it turns out to be as lucrative as PayPerPost where I have just had 2 more posts approved.
