Bloggers Kingdom: Social Spark
The world of blogging has seen its share of changes, mostly for the better, in the last couple of years. Wordpress has improved dramatically and new plugins and widgets have created opportunities for both vertical and horizontal collaboration, cross promotions and online pollination far beyond the expectations five years ago.
The rise in social media sites, like digg, stumble upon, reddit and the host of other social media entities out there in the bloggoshere has increased the frequency of instant information. Social media sites like twitter, a cross between book marking and text messaging, allows bloggers to post text messaging information on their blog instantly.
Online advertising is on the rise and bloggers are finding unique ways to pursue a living or generating discretionary income online. So, with the myriad of information to sift through, how does bloggers find advertisers and advertisers find bloggers looking to make additional income.
That is where Social Spark comes in. The company connects publishers and advertisers in the blogging world. Advertisers on Social Spark register to look for bloggers that are willing to do guest post, write articles and publish sponsor post.
Since advertising is directly connected to page views and RSS readership, new blogs need platforms to connect with advertisers. Social Spark provides a great community for upcoming bloggers who have not yet acquired a large following like Problogger, John Chow, or Uberaffiliate and the like; or bloggers who are looking to diversity their income, moving away from their dependency from adsence, the most widely used money making tool used by bloggers
In fact, bloggers are increasingly of the opinion that mono-advertising, like mono-cropping can be devastating. If the one crop becomes susceptible to a particular insect, (in bloggers case the bug is that Google may penalizing a blog when the blogger is list expecting) then no other source of income remains. Everything would be going good, sometimes fantastically well, then baam! Your site is drop by Google. That’s a boomer!
