I was one of the lucky individuals chosen to participate in alpha testing for SocialSpark.com, and now that SocialSpark.com is in beta testing, it's obvious to me that it's really picking up steam!
SocialSpark.com is a unique way for bloggers and advertisers to get to know each other, sort of a social-networking community. Unlike other paid-blogging sites, SocialSpark.com bloggers and advertisers have the chance to interact directly with each other. I'm a blogger, of course, and I'm impressed with the number and kinds of advertisers SocialSpark.com has attracted.
That said, here's a few ideas as to the kinds of advertisers I'd like to see join SocialSpark.com as well. In no particular order:
1.) Local advertisers. Many bloggers have a "national" audience, but we also draw a sizable readership from our local community. Small businesses could really benefit from this kind of advertising -- it's very cost effective, and as SocialSpark.com requires honesty in its posts, readers can rest assured that if I rave about my local pizza place, I mean it. That means you, Pomodori Roast Beef & Pizzeria!
2.) Pet care stuff. I spend an inordinate amount of time talking about my cats on this blog. One of said felines would eat nothing but Whiskas Temptations Treats if I let her. I would love, love, love to blog about that. Alternately, given my newfound dedication to frugality, I'd love to blog about special deals at places like PetSmart and Petco.
3.) Public service stuff. Many states spend a significant amount of money advertising various programs and public education stuff. Bloggers would be a great way to extend these messages to an even wider audience. I just did a post about water safety, sponsored by the state of Arizona. I think that's a great idea, and I'd love to do more of it.
Those are just a few ideas. Readers? What kind of brands or subjects would you like to see me blog about?
