I got to know about SocialSpark while browsing through a fellow blogger's blog. The name did not catch my attention initially but I was very interested to know how and what is offered in this earn-money-online website. The website markets itself as a blog marketing network that connects advertisers with bloggers through an online marketplace. I made a quick link into the website and I was greeted by an attractive layout in magenta.
Signing up was easy (Sign up for SocialSpark); by registering a username, password, email address & blog url, and claiming the blog. Don't forget to check the terms & condition, and code of ethics too (Code of Ethics). The blog vetting process was rather quick, and mine was approved within 24 hours. I had an unpleasant experience in another website where my blog only got approved after one week.
What differentiates SocialSpark and the other money making website that I am familiar with and subscribe to is the content on its front page. SocialSpark works well in attracting newbies to check further into its website by placing the opportunities and openings on the front page itself. This is the right approach because they show to people what they can offer, rather than wanting people to sign up first and show them later. The front page doesn't only show the summary of the opportunities, it also displays prominent banner ads that show the contest that some advertisers carry. They currently run the contest for Victorinox.
There are many ways they let bloggers make money;
1) Writing reviews of products and services
2) Posting display ads and text links
3) Cost per Click and Affiliate programs
4) Driving traffic to an Advertiser's site through Twitter, Facebook or other social media property
As a start to make new bloggers on board get familiar with SocialSpark, they creatively let bloggers earn their first bucks (USD5.00) by sharing their viewpoints about SocialSpark. I think this effort is commendable and it is a clever investment. It certainly gave me a boost to continue taking up opportunities to add on top of the USD5.00 earned.
So far, I only found one setback. I am not qualified for many opportunities. It may be due to the product not found in my home country, or my page rank doesn't meet to the requirement. But I will work hard to improve on this because SocialSpark's advertisers are a generous lot.
It takes two to tango, and SocialSpark is the dance floor for the advertisers and bloggers to tango.

Congratulations! I've been a member of Socialspark for a little over a year and have earned quite a bit of money. They are revamping the site so be on the lookout for more improvements.
Because your blog isn't located in the U.S. you can lose out on a lot of opportunities, unfortunately; but keep blogging, keep promoting yourself, keep connecting with other people and you will eventually qualify for more posts. Good luck! :)
yo yo, thanks for the words of encouragement! will work hard on this and hope the opportunities come knocking real soon.
