Submission Rule Changes at Associated Content
Posted on September 3, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write | Leave a Comment
Despite my early excitement about earning opportunities at Associated Content, I hadn’t actually submitted anything to them since February until a a slight variant of my recent RideMax review. That article was rejected because “[c]ontent submitted as Non-Exclusive must be published on AC before it is published elsewhere.” I’m not sure when that rule went into effect, but it certainly wasn’t there in February. My guess is that it is a result of the more stringent anti-plagiarism efforts created in…
How Do We Make Money Blogging?
Posted on August 28, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write | Leave a Comment
The question I am most often asked here at Philaahzophy is - “How do we make money blogging?” Not only do I get this question from commenters, but also from other friends (of both the online and offline varieties). In fact I’ve begun fielding it from my 12 year old daughter Z quite a bit as well. So, when she went looking for pictures to add to her latest blog post about teen blogging she sent me the cartoon to the…
SocialSpark Still Has Some Serious Bugs To Work Out
Posted on July 9, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write | Leave a Comment
SocialSpark, the latest paid to blog service from Izea, still has some pretty serious bugs to work out. After writing more than 40 posts for them in the first six weeks they were open I’ve been away from the site for over a month. Upon returning today I found little has changed. While this would normally be a good thing, SocialSpark is still in Beta and hasn’t worked out the vast majority of the flaws that I, and many other…
One Month In To SocialSpark
Posted on May 15, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write | Leave a Comment
Sunday will mark one full month that SocialSpark has been in public Beta, last Thursday marked the one month point from when I joined, and Tuesday was exactly one month since I took my first Sponsored Post there. I would have picked one of those specific dates to write this post, but the PayPerPost opp offering to pay me $9.00 to give my thoughts kept disappearing before I could grab it. Until today. And y’all know I can never pass up…
Can SocialSpark Advertisers Really Be Happy With This?
Posted on May 15, 2008 - Filed Under Business, Paid To Write | 9 Comments
Since I didn’t sleep last night I was refreshing the SocialSpark marketplace with some regularity this morning as the IZEA staff started releasing opportunities. An excellent opp titled “$15,000 Online Video Contest” appeared that seemed perfect for Philaahzophy, so I clicked over to take it only to find that the slots for today had already been taken in the three minutes it took for me to see the listing.
Curious who was so quick on the draw I clicked over to…
Taking A Deeper Look At SocialSpark
Posted on April 20, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write | Leave a Comment
A few days ago I wrote about what a great opportunity SocialSpark is for parent bloggers. Well, I’ve been using SocialSpark for a few weeks now and I thought y’all might want a closer look at what SocialSpark provides.
The Basics-
- SocialSpark is the latest and greatest system designed to link advertisers with bloggers.
- Unlike previous systems every link from SocialSpark is a search engine friendly “no follow” link.
- In-post disclosure of the paid status of a blog post is required for every single sponsored post…
