The conference I went to last week was put together by Izea, the people behind the pay to blog company SocialSpark.

I blogged about the conference over on Always, Alli but I wanted to give some props to SocialSpark as a way for Mommy Bloggers like me to earn extra bits of cash. I will never tell you to quit your day job to become a full time blogger by using SocialSpark, but it is nice to be able to build up a paypal account for the extra things you might like. Movies, shoes, camera equipment, trips to Orlando without the family- stuff like that.

It isn’t instant money (it takes 30 days to be paid and then you have to have $20 in your account in order to cash out) and some days there are no opportunities available to take, but I would suggest signing up so you at least have the option to use SocialSpark. And here is some information to chew on: the more quality Mommy Bloggers in the SocialSpark system there are, the better the chances are for Izea to get the advertisers we want to blog about. I would love to blog (and be paid) about companies like Little Tykes, Baby Bjorn, Lego, Leapfrog, Matchbox, and Cranium… but they aren’t in the SocialSpark system of advertisers. If Izea approached them and showed how interested Mommy Bloggers are in writing about them, then possibly the deal could be closed.

Being consistently active in SocialSpark hasn’t been my forte lately, but after attending Izeafest, I seem to be refreshed in my blogging state of mind. Hopefully I’ll be benefiting from SS more and more and then I won’t stress about buying maternity cloths in the cooler months.

I’d be happy to respond to comments about SocialSpark if you leave me a comment.
