New community - Social Spark.

Social Spark is new star.Social Spark is new star.

I’m trying new community - SocialSpark. Social Spark is here and can help you monetize your blog, build community and drive traffic.I will try to figure it out soon.I know you can make friends, you can find some blog job opportunities there or you can advertise yourself! There is a community place and there is a marketplace where you can look for job proposition from various companies and self-made bloggers.

There are the three main types of marketplace opportunities: Sponsored Post, Blog Sponsorship and Spark.

“In the Sponsored Post Opportunity, a Blogger will create a unique sponsored post on his/her blog based on the guidance the Advertiser provides. The Advertiser can choose to have each Blogger include an image, video or press release along with the Blogger's own text.

Blog sponsorships are a means by which the Advertisers to utilize SocialSpark's unique technology to create a 'welcome mat' and persistent sponsorship banner on blogs. Sponsorships can consist of text, images or video. The advertiser pays per day that a select blog runs the Blog Sponsorship.

Spark: Sparks are free Opportunities that serve as ideas for blog posts. Sparks are utilized primarily by Bloggers, but may also be used by Advertisers. They offer no tracking or segmentation options.” (Explanation given by Social Spark)”

To qualify your blog must be at least 90 days old, with at least 20 pre-existing posts written in the last 90 days. Should be in English or Spanish. I’m helping spreading the word. If you are a bloggers who are looking for a way to earn some money from their blog, this for you!The ways you can make money on here range quite a bit. Some advertisers offers you peanuts , others are pretty generous. So it really depends on us bloggers.

As my blog is about interior design, I tried to find some jobs who want me to write about interior design but I could find only 2 job opportunities. I didn’t take them because they didn’t fit my blog.

There are many reviews about Social Spark website. Some love it, some hate it. I wonder what I’m going to say!?!

How to Choose Flooring for Your House?

How to choose flooring for you house? My article from Articles Base.

First you have to decide what you want to use: carpet, wood, laminate, natural stone porcelain, vinyl or a mix of these products.Nowadays there are so many choices available, so when it's time to make the final decision people are confused. I suggest you not to hurry.Take your time. If you go to carpet or tile showroom ask them for sample. Some companies do small samples like 10x 10 cm.Some can give you real size sample. So when you have a sample, bring it home and live with it for one or two weeks.This will give you a chance to understand what you want in the long term.

1. Decide which product(s) it is going to be.

2. Choose the size.

3. Pick the colour or at least a colour scheme.

4. What type of finish you want?

5. Is it going high traffic area or low traffic. By traffic I mean how often people are going to be in this area. Bare feet or with shoes? Any pets?

6. Know the measurements required. It could meters, feet,yards - really it can be any metricsystem. Sales person would be able to convert it for you.

7. Have you decided on your budget?

My suggestion is when buying flooring or any other product is to talk to sales people. They are there to help you and give advice. Even if you are not buying from them, talk to them. As well when doing research, use any opportunity you can. This could be your friends, colleagues, sales advisors, books or Internet.
