Wild fires start with a simple spark. Whether or not its from a match, a lightning strike, an unattended campfire or a cigarette butt, it takes one little spark to set the world ablaze. Saint Catherine of Siena said that “If you are what you should be, You will set the World ablaze”. Izea, the folks who brought payperpost and paid posting to the forefront of the blogging world, hope you’ll become a prolific blogger with a myriad of topics from their SocialSpark system.

SocialSpark is the next revolution of blogging services. Besides being a ginormous marketing platform for bloggers and advertisers alike, its aiming to become a leader in social networking for blogging and seems to be well on its way.

Anyone looking to monetize their blog, make friends, find new and interesting reads or just develop a growing reader base should take a look at the new marketing trend SocialSpark is creating.

In addition to many “for pay” opportunities ranging from simple posts to full blown video/audio masterpieces, SocialSpark allows almost anyone to reach people by asking for help promoting items, posts, sites for virtually nothing more than a link in return. One of the nice things Spark is working to do is prevent the massive google spank many paid bloggers received last year.

SocialSpark unlike many of its predicessors is Search Engine Friendly. They include the nofollow tags in the links you use (which many engines are looking for these days). They’ve also got a pretty good code of ethics and like PPP pay on a fairly regular basis as well. There has been some negative feed back about some of the options for advertising (such as some embedded flash) but for the most part SocialSpark has been received pretty well.

If you’ve been looking for a good way to make some extra cash on the side (and these days, who hasn’t) don’t look too much further than SocialSpark. You might just set the world ablaze.
