I just like being there! It’s not so much because I can make money accepting jobs to write blog posts, though that is certainly a huge perk. I swear, I think it’s because of the color scheme! There’s something about that shade of yellow that makes me happy and makes me want to hang around. And then I notice how nicely the red goes with the yellow…and then the blackish gray color pulls it all together. It dawns on me that this color scheme is perfect for SocialSpark! The red and yellow are flame colors while the gray is ashes!! It also dawns on me that I have probably had way too many Mountain Dews this evening….
Seriously, when I received my invite to check out SocialSpark, I was very excited. After visiting every nook and cranny at the site, I’ve decided that it really is a neat place! Not only is the color scheme nice, but the site is very easy to navigate which is a big deal to me. If I am at a site that is just a smidge bit difficult, or cumbersome to navigate, I won’t stick around. SocialSpark did not let me down.
There are several things I like about SocialSpark. I love the profiles and all of the info they contain. It is super easy to read about other bloggers and even easier to add them as friends and visit their blogs. Here are two screenshots from my account. The first one is my personal profile. See the red and yellow? Nice, huh? If you read my profile, you’ll find out my interests, education, how many props I’ve been given plus much more. Over in the sidebar, you can see a screenshot and a link to my blog. There is also a section for my most recent post.

Here’s the bottom part of my Profile Screen. This is where you can see all of my friends( Jenn and I just became friends!) and read comments that they have left for me. See my comment section? See how it is empty? Sad…

Another thing I like about SocialSpark is the statistics that are available to both bloggers and advertisers. Here’s a screenshot of my Stats section. You can view my Real Rank, Alexa, Page Views and Visitors. One quick glance tells me what I might need to start focusing on more…traffic!

Not only is SocialSpark easy to use, but I also have the opportunity to communicate with the advertiser and share with them why I could write a great post for them. For example, I sign into my account and see that there is an opp for nasogastric tubes and I also notice that my blog does not qualify because the advertiser is looking for medical related blogs. Even though my blog is not medical related, I feel that I would be able to write a great post about this topic because I had a son who had a nasogastric tube that I was responsible for taking care of and replacing when he pulled it out. I can ask the advertiser for a slot on this job based on this information. Of course, the advertiser can give me the job or not, but I like that I can at least communicate in situations like this.
Now, I’ve shared only a small bit of info about SocialSpark so you’ll definitely want to head on over there and check things out for yourself. Again, I have been really pleased with my SocialSpark experience and I look forward to making new friends, discovering new blogs, and, of course, making some more money!
