What I like and don’t like about Social Spark

Posted by Holly on May 8, 2008 under stuff, website review

I have been using SocialSpark for a little over a month now and at first it was cool. We could check things out and actually take opps. Now I’m lucky if I manage to find one that is one I’m willing to wait over a week to do. I think the problem is more that SocialSpark is new and everyone is so excited about it that they jump into it and don’t look back. For me the dynamic pricing is probably the most frustrating part of it. If you reserve an opp at $5 that morning it could be 11 or 15 by that afternoon, just because there are no slots left for it so no one can take it. The other problem with this pricing is that an opp that is $15 when you wait for a slot, may only be worth $5 when you do it. Now if you have never done paid blogging before you may not get why this is an issue. Some advertisers want a lot put into a post and sometimes all of that work is not worth $5 to a blogger, but it may be worth that $15 that the blogger first saw.

My other issue is with sponsorships, Right now I’m waiting on two, one of them is no longer available in the marketplace, but it says I’m still waiting. I guess it would just have been nice to know in the first place that I had to wait for it instead of thinking I had it and it would start up the next day.

Other then that I love social spark I love being able to check out the profiles of people on the network who I may not have known write the blog I read. Some are just fun to read what they have going on. I love how some people have things done like this profile for Mummifiedx5. I think her heading says it all.

The other fun part about socialspark is that you have access to so many blogs, you can find some great blogs to read and learn about the people who write them. They also have a way to sort them by category so you can look for blogs that have to do with travel, sports or music if that is what you want to read about.
