Blogging has become such a wonderful outlet for me. I’ve met so many wonderful people, gotten a bazillion great ideas and been challenged to think about so many things from a different perspective. I have also really enjoyed making my own small contribution to the conversation, especially as it relates to products and services that make sense for parents.
Since I am no longer bringing home a salary, one of my goals is to work on my blog and take it to the next level, whatever the heck that means. I also need to start discovering ways to earn a little bit of money as a blogger, especially since it does take up quite a bit of my time.
One way I just discovered is through a site called SocialSpark. I signed up last week and wrote my first sponsored post (it was the Hampton Inn post). My initial thoughts are that it was pretty easy to sign up, and that there are a handful of post opportunities available that I would be interested in writing about. When it comes to writing sponsored posts, I think you need to be very careful to stay true to yourself. At least that’s my goal. I’m not going to write about a company I know absolutely nothing about and tell you how great it is just so that I can earn $15. In the case of Hampton Inn, they honestly are my very favorite chain hotel, so it was fun to write about them. I’m not sure that SocialSpark is going to help me bring in more than maybe $30-$40/month, but that’s because I will be very selective about what I write about. And that $30-$40 will go a long way on our super tight budget, so I’m very glad to have found it!
If you are looking for legit ways to make money online and you are a blogger, I’d suggest checking out SocialSpark.
