A new social marketing network has begun to rival all others!
It connects bloggers like myself (and possibly you) with advertisers who prefer to use the blogosphere as a way to promote visitor numbers to their sites - with the possibility of earning some money for doing what you already enjoy!! They are already paying people (like me now) to go an investigate this new site and see what it’s all about - to get the word out.
What’s it all about?
It’s actually a great place to meet other bloggers in your subject area, and those who are writing about some of the most unusual things!!! I went inside the site for a look myself and found a growing community of both bloggers and advertisers already in there …..
I went in as a visitor first, to see how everything was set up, and how the information I entered was going to be displayed, and found some great blogs - and there is so much information on offer from each profile. And it’s really a bonus to be able to view all this without having to set up an account as well, as it encourages you to go in and have a look around before plunging in to something new.
I searched for ‘Travel’ and browsed a few people already there, and found one I particularly liked - she was called ‘green me’ which I liked straight off, and her photograph was very welcoming - and a quick browse of her interests and subject tags were a good match for mine.
She is apparently very well liked here - with 455 friends after only being a member of the site for less than 8 weeks! She has also got a high number of ‘props’ - I’m not 100% sure what they are, but the symbol is a ‘thumbs up’ so it must be good news!!!
Also - just off to the right of the page is a link to her blog itself as well as a link straight to her latest blog post. So rather than clicking through a number of pages like some other sites have you do, to get a look at what she has to offer - you go there in one click.
It’s a bit confusing with the rankings on the site, as there are different scores for your profile and each of your blogs, so there’s going to be a lot of ‘ranking jargon’ to work my way through to get to grips with how it all works - but I really like the way it can introduce others to your current blog posts, so after filling in my profile details (yes, I became a member) - I can’t wait to start earning some more money……….
