Who’s in Your Fav9?

2 Comments

I’ve now gone through and sent friend requests to every single blogger on SocialSpark. My goal was to become more social and that is certainly the case. While SocialSpark has been a great place for me to earn more money through the CPC opps, the affiliates, blog sponsorships and also sponsored conversations it is also a place to make friends and connections.

There are quite a few ways to make connections with other bloggers. You can add them as friends and if you like their work then you can also prop them. However, for those bloggers that truly are a cut above you can add them to your Fav 9. The Fav 9 is a place where you can tell all of SocialSpark that these are people that everyone should check out.

So how do you add someone to your Fav 9? It is very simple. When you are on a blogger, or advertiser’s profile look for the “tools” box. On that box there is a heart. Click the heart to make someone part of your Fav 9.

Your Fav 9 is displayed on your public profile page. This is a look at my Fav 9.

These are some of the bloggers who are on my IZEA Insiders Crew. They have claimed blogs and are really making things happen on SocialSpark. I encourage you to take a look at each of them and see what you can learn from them.

So, who is in your Fav 9?

I am an IZEA Insider and my crew is called the “I’m Not A Famous Blogger” Crew and I want YOU to join me. Here are simple instructions on how exactly you can join my IZEA Insider Crew on SocialSpark.

Don’t Be Anonymous

As an IZEA Insider I spend a lot of time looking at the SocialSpark profiles of bloggers. I’ve gone through about 10,000 of the 24,000+ profiles on the system. Do you know what drives me nuts? Anonymity. Look at this image. Can you tell one blogger from another? No.

The whole point of SocialSpark is to connect bloggers with advertisers. Who do you think an Advertiser is going to choose for their campaign, a blogger with no information on their profile or a blogger who took the time to promote themselves. Your profile on SocialSpark is the first thing that an advertiser is going to see. Make it memorable.

Who is going to get the opp?

So how do you make your profile memorable? You edit your profile and add actual information. To access your profile follow this path.

Click Account – > Manage Blogger Account – > Profile

Okay, now you are in your profile. Time to fill out the essentials. Let’s start with question #1. Your display name. For the love of all that is holy and sacred in the world do not display a crappy name. You could put your actual name, your blog name or the name you are known for all over the web. Don’t display names like gmstr1, FuNkIeblger1 and stuff like that. Advertisers are going to look at those names and pass on you so fast. Put your best foot forward and give them a good display name.

The next most important field is the Headline. This should be your blog elevator pitch in 125 characters. Boil down your blog or yourself to the essentials… who are you and what you blog about. Say it here, short and sweet.

Then there is the About You section. Here you have 1150 characters to spell out exactly why you are the right blogger for advertisers to choose for opportunities. Showcase what you have to offer an advertiser and you will get noticed.

The next tab is the Avatar tab. I will talk more about this in the next installment of SocialSpark Saturdays.
