Writing for money is not new to everyone of us.Finding a good platform where bloggers and advertisers can trade offers,however,may be a little hard for some.
There are big players like Elance and other sites that broker (freelance) writers and sponsors.But most of the may be picky and dificult to use for writers.Some of them require very professional and authoritative verifications or qualifications,which is very painstaking.
SocialSpark,on the other hand is new and very convenient.It is more easy to use for both publishers and advertisers.
Register for either pubilsher or advertiser is very simple at Social Park.Just user name,email address and password,as well as some of your personal information are required.And you are done.
The next thing you should do is to verify your blog(s).It is similar to any of the verification processes,such as Google Analytics tracking code,Google's Webmasters Tool verification,etc.Just copy and past a series of unique code into your blog,and click Claim.You may add more than one blog to your profile.
Before you begin to take opportunities you should first offer your Paypal account to SP.They seem to pay only via Paypal.
For publishers,however,credit card info must be provided to add funds (they call points).
The offer and bid is through a system called Opportunity.Publishers claim opportunities.Advertisers create and offer opportunities.Each opportunity comes with an offer of dollars.At the moment I do not know if there is a minimum here,but,feel free to comment if you know.
When publishers claim an oppotunity or more,they must write articles in their claimed blogs (mentioned above),following the advertisers requirements in the opportunities.Requirements are often link codes,badges,etc.
You must finish your article within 5 days of claiming an opportunity.
For advertisers,the benefits of using Social Park is three fold:
1.Easily to pay someone to write for you
2.Blog posts writen in the for of sponsored articles create permanant back links to the sites
3.Get traffic from quality blogs (which you can choose)
For publishers,the benefit is simple:easy money making.
Surprisingly,I saw Chris Brogan joined Social Park.Interesting.
