What About Social Spark
I was invited to join SocialSpark when it was in beta. It’s a sponsored post site with a community spirit run by IZEA. It sounded like all the good things from PayPerPost with some great improvements in disclosure and using nofollow tags so pagerank didn’t get obliterated.

When Begging Fails
About a month ago I added one of those scratch back tip jar thingies to the blog and since then I’ve had exactly zero takers. I know what the problem was in the beginning… I set the minimum tip to $5 because that’s what it said the minimum was on the setup screen. After realizing […]
