Who doesn't love food? I sure love food. I'm the person who really isn't picky when it comes to food. Anything that is edible, I eat. American food, Italian food, Indian food, Mexican food, Filipino food, Chinese, Japanese...you name it. But the food that I love the most is seafood. Anything that's seafood pretty much hits the spot for me. Whenever I see any time of seafood, I know that I'm going for that. Writing this makes me think about lobsters and crabs and shrimps and clams. This is making me hungry...! Visit my friend Monikas blog, I'm sure she has something to say about food as well...

In this changing time, more and more moms are getting to spend less and less time from their houses, from their husbands and most of all from their kids. With all the work and all the bills that needed to be paid, not to mention all the house work that needs to be done upon arriving at home...and most important of all, taking care and spend time with your kids and family, who would not want to make some extra cash to spend less hours at work or if you're a Mommy Blogger, here's a way to generate extra income. If you're a full time mom, you can definitely do this. Blog or write about something while your son or daughter is asleep or while waiting for the school bus to come from school to bring your kids home.

There is a social marketing network where advertisers and bloggers are some what more intimate than the other blogging/advertising network. The advertisers can basically target certain blogs that fit their concept or fit their product or can fit something they want advertised. This growing blogging and advertising network is called SocialSpark. I'm sure you've heard of it and maybe saw it while surfing through the web but maybe you didn't have time to take a look and see what it's all about or maybe had it in the back of your mind and would get to it if you had the time but never really did.
Well, here's another opportunity for you to SIGN UP! Don't put it off..! I'm telling you right now, I'm so glad that I signed up! You wont regret taking that bit of time just to sign up. Once you do, who knows maybe you'll get that spark or that light bulb go off just like I did when I found a big potential to earn some extra cash.

I basically had a goal. And the goal was, the money I would make from blogging is the one I would use to purchase plane tickets for vacations..and guess what, I'm getting really close to doing that. Just a few bucks more! Its like the expenses never came from my pocket. I didn't dent the income that I usually have. I didn't cut down on anything or put those plane tickets on a credit card. And that's a great feeling. I won't have that shock or that "Oh yeah" moment when I look at that credit card statement and see that I still have to pay for those tickets....you know what I'm talking about right? I'm sure you do..

I'm sharing this opportunity with you to give you another money making option. And believe me, when everything is getting expensive, like it is now, some extra money just by writing or blogging helps...So join SocialSpark right now..!

Talk about being a newbie on blogging..! If there was a book that was titled Blogging for Dummies, I would be on the cover. Wait a sec,.maybe there is such a book, maybe my face is on there and I didn't know it. Anyway, I've been checking sites or blogs or something that would help me about bloging. I don't know what the heck RSS is for or what it does. I found a blog, that helped me out a little bit and gave some idea as to what I should do to make my blogging better and of course make money from blogging. This blog by "Mr. Javo" has a few healthy tips blogwise like monetize your blogs, make new friendships, visit other blogs and etc. Reading some of his tips gave me a little bit of light, so to speak.

I still need a lot of help with regards to blogging. Please feel free to leave me comments with regards to this. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Billabong is a clothing brand that I would like to be in SocialSpark.com. I have liked their products since I wore one of their board shorts and one of their hoodies. They are a growing company. They have since acquired a few companies in the past few years. Namely, Von Zipper, a sunglasses company, was acquired in early 2001. Element, which is a dominant player in the skateboarding apparel and hard goods market was acquired in July 2002. Kustom and Palmers Surf were acquired in October 2004. Nixon was acquired in January 2006 from founders Andy Laats and Chad DiNenna. Nixon is a dominant player in the board sports watch market. Xcel was acquired in September 2007. The brand, a premium United States-based wetsuit and technical water sport accessories brand established in 1982, is focused on product for the surfing, diving (recreational and military), ocean paddling, sun protection and wake boarding markets and was recently awarded the "Wetsuit of the Year" title by the Surf Industry Manufacturers' Association.

So basically, having them here in SocialSpark.com would really put them in the spotlight because of the international community that it has. They're products are mainly targeted for water sports like scuba diving.. and board riders like surfing, wake boarding, skate boarding just to name a few. Quiksilver, which is a US based company is their main rival here. They sell similar type products that are of high quality. I like Billabong's simple and sort of "care free" styling, making them one of my favorite brands.

I would definitely love to see more sports related companies here at SocialSpark.com. Especially those involved in board sports or water sports. Social Spark will definately help you, meaning those companies who chose to come aboard, "widen" the company and reach more people. Plus your company will get some very honest opinion from bloggers or consumers...wether it be good or bad.

So for those advertisers reading this blog entry, the title says it all. Social spark IS a Growing Advertising community....

When I first registered my blog at SocialSpark, I couldn't believe how many opportunities there are for my blog to make some money. But then I thought, this site could just be one of those who creates opportunities for people only living in the U.S., I soon found out that I was wrong. I immediately found some people who lived in India, Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia just to name a few. I also found out that people here are very friendly and really willing to help each other out..Like Leaving props or a "thumbs up" for the other person to help get more opportunities. Did I mention that I was new to blogging? This community helped me a lot! People here gave me friendly tips and advice.


This community allows you to write or say whatever you want. SocialSpark has no restrictions on how you express your honest thoughts on an advertiser's product because truth in advertising is very important to them. That's one of their code of ethics, 100% Real Opinions. Another great thing in SocialSpark is that each sponsored link will automatically carry the "no-follow" attribute so that it won't affect your search engine rankings and because of that, Bloggers and Advertisers won't be charged with search engine penalties. What are those penalties? You pay! There's none of that here in SocialSpark. That is another one in their code of ethics, 100% Search Engine Friendly.

Give SocialSpark a try. I'm sure you'll love it. I'm sure you'll be excited like I am when it comes to making money in blogging.
