How would you like to connect with new people, promote your blog, and make some extra dough at the same time? There is such a place online where you can do it, thanks to IZEA. It is a new service called SocialSpark, and personally I believe it is a one-of-a-kind service ever provided online.

Because of its uniqueness, I have to admit that when I first tried SocialSpark, I was expecting it to function somewhat very close to how its sister site, PayPerPost, would. I was invited to register with SocialSpark when it went into alpha, and my first reaction was of shock! I was confused as to how I was suppose to use the services. There are so many options that you can use, and so many new features added. I can invite friends, promote their blogs (for FREE!), and accept sponsorships, all in the same web site? It looked too good to be true!

Once SocialSpark went live and I continued to explore its features, I started to get the advantages of using SocialSpark. Would you believe me if I say that SocialSpark actually helped me improve on my blogging? As I have mentioned, one of the uniqueness of SocialSpark is the Spark section, which is a place where you can select and promote web sites of other community members for free, and in exchange helps to increase your reputation among the SocialSpark community. I use Spark for one other thing — the blogs featured in the list as a way to research for topics that I am interested in blogging about, so it’s usually not only about reviewing a web site. So, if you’re not sure what to blog about, just register with SocialSpark and head over to the Spark opportunities for some fresh ideas on what to discuss about in your blog.
