Earn With Your Blog: SocialSpark

A lot of people are looking to earn some extra money online. Bloggers and website owners are continuously looking for, and writing about the best ways to make money online. Today I just want to look at one way in which small-time Bloggers can make money with their blogs online: Socialspark. 

Ins and outs of earning with your blog

In two days I'll be receiving $50.00 from SocialSpark, with another $30.00 in my account to be withdrawn at a later date. So far I've written 5 posts for SocialSpark on 3 different blogs. I went away on holiday just before another 2 posts were due, so I've missed out on about $20.00 worth of earnings from that particular site.
Now there are lots of other ways to make money online. As most of us know, making money with your blog tends to be about writing lots of posts for a small amount of money. Some pay-per-post sites will even offer as little as 0.50c to write a post of a hundred words. I won't even consider taking these, but the fact that they're still on offer means that someone is. Other sites will offer highly rated blogs as much as $10.00 for one link in their post - but your blog is not yet highly-rated.
Note: I haven't been paid for this post. I've written it to help my readers and share some inside knowledge about Socialspark - one of the best ways to make money online for small-time and new bloggers.

Disadvantages of blogging with Socialspark

There are advantages of making money online. However, hard you work, and however much money you make with your blog, there will always be little, nagging things about how you go about doing so. There are a few disadvantages of blogging with socialspark. And even though they do not outweigh the advantages in the least, I thought I should mention them to you to give you the complete picture of this site.
1. You have to wait 30 days after your post has been approved before you get the payment. Keep in mind that your advertiser may take days to approve your post.
2. You have to wait until your balance has accumulated to at least $50.00 before you request payment. If you did request payment before the balance is at least $50.00, you have to pay a 'penalty' of $2.00.
3. You write all your posts on the Socialspark site. Therefore, the format your text is eventually published in may not be up to your usual standard. Paragraphs and lines are not always where you think they'd be.
