SocialSpark - More Than Just A Social Network

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Because of my current busy schedule with my freelance writing jobs, I had no time to update this humble blog. But just today, I received an email from IZEA. At first I thought it was just one of those spam messages which I often receive after signing up on sites that I found interesting. So, because of my curiosity, I clicked on the image of Social Spark and redirected me to its homepage.

Well, upon seeing the homepage, I thought it is just one of those social network sites which I signed up during the time I worked as a virtual assistant for an Australian client. But, as I get more curious, I clicked the "advertisers" and the "publishers" tabs on the navigation bar. After reading the contents of these tabs, I started to become interested and eager to find out how I can sign up on SocialSpark. So, I clicked on the "publishers" tab and signed up as a blogger.

So, before you sign up, make sure that you have an existing blog. However, there are other options such as Tweeters and Mobilers. So, on the right side (you are facing the monitor of your computer) you will see the form that you need to fill up. Well, I put my username, my email address, my password and the URL of my blog, then I just click create account. After signing up, I just put in some required details in my SocialSpark account, and I start navigating the site.

The site is user-friendly. I mean, it is easy to navigate and learn the different components of the site. The contents are straightforward. It informs the readers or the visitors that they can earn and monetize their blogs and Tweeter accounts. There are a lot of earning opportunities, especially for bloggers like me because there are so many advertisers looking for bloggers who are willing to write something about their site. What I really love about this is the fact that advertisers are willing to pay good amount for a quality review. But of course, you just can't write anything you want unless you have read and understood the site's Code of Ethics.This means that everything that you'll write in your blog is 100% true and transparent. Your post must also be search engine friendly and it must show your genuine opinion about the topic, whether it is a product, a company or a service.

I love the fact that SocialSpark allows me to say or write anything I want. Not to mention the earning potential that I can have just by doing what I love to do - writing!

So, for those bloggers who want to express their real opinions on anything, SocialSpark is for you. You will have tons of things to write about and lots of earning opportunities posted in the marketplace section.

Reasons Why I Prefer Work At Home Jobs

Since 2007, I started working as a part-time web content writer, blogger and a virtual assistant. I must say that I do enjoy working at home because I can work at my own pace. I can choose the projects I want and I don’t mind working in my pajamas.

There are numerous reasons why you should consider working at home instead of working in an eight to five routine in the office. In the corporate world, you have a lot of strict rules to follow in terms of corporate discipline such as attendance and uniform. Another factor that I love about working at home is that I don’t have to race every morning so I won’t get caught in the traffic. Now that I work full time freelance writer, I am able to experience the following benefits:

Financial Reward

There is a lot of work at home jobs available for every skill. For instance, you have good writing skills; why not apply as an academic or web content writer? This will surely bring you good income since all websites need good and quality contents. When you work at home, you will certainly notice that your financial status has improved a lot. Initially, the earnings may not be that much but think about the savings you can get from your travel expenses. As soon as you get more clients, you will definitely get more profit from your writing skills.

Flexible Time

This benefit makes work at home jobs attractive especially to housewives. There are actually many home-based and freelance jobs in the internet. You may choose from data entry jobs, blogging, virtual assistance and filling up of surveys. These jobs will allow you to allocate your time accordingly since they don’t require so much of your time. In my case, being a home-based writer gives me more time with my family, and do things that I enjoy – writing!

No Supervisor

When work at home, you will be your own boss. You designate which task or work at home jobs to accept, and you work at your own pace. There is so much freedom you have if you choose to work at home. Let say, you choose to take a work at home blogging. Here you can select which blog you are comfortable writing about yet no one imposes the task or forced you to do it. Everything will be under your control.

More Options

The best thing about work at home jobs is that you have the freedom to select the type of work you are willing to do, and do it at your convenient time. If you want to work for only four hours a day, or have the weekends off, you are free to do so. There is plenty of work at home jobs available via the internet. In fact, signing-up in Odesk or LimeExchange.com can help you find tens of home-based jobs.

Work at home jobs can be financially rewarding and a stress-free career. The options are endless for you to find your dream job online. A degree is not necessary in finding your desired home-based jobs. All you need to have are: basic knowledge on computer, proper time management and your ability to complete the task without constant supervision.

Earn By Uploading Photos

When I heard this, I was like, WHAT?! How is that possible?

Well, because of my curiosity, I tried it though I was really skeptical about the idea.

But, when I've read some testimonials and saw the payment proofs of some members, I decided to give it a shot. Besides, uploading pictures won't clutter my brain cells, right?

I can't show you my earnings yet, since I just signed-up. But don't worry, as soon as I get my first earning I'll show it.

Let's just wait and see. If you enjoy taking pictures of anything, why not try to make profit from it?

Learn how you can EARN just by UPLOADING PICTURES in the internet.

Useful Project Management and Collaboration Software

I would like to share with you this useful software that my clients and I are using to manage our projects.

Central Desktop is a perfect tool for webmasters and freelance writers because both of you have a synchronized Project Management.

Using this software, you can track the number of hours spent in each task or project. Plus, you can easily monitor the deadlines of every project. This is beneficial to freelance writers because we always have to meet deadlines. If you are a freelance writer, there is one rule you have to keep in mind - MEET DEADLINES.

Using email to send your output is fine, but using Central Desktop is better because you and your client can track the progress of each task.
