I can't believe i have goodluck today! My blog in SocialSpark,a social Marketing Network that connects advertisers and bloggers through an online advertising marketplace was approved! I was delighted! Now, i would not keep on chasing and fishing some opportunities in many other sites. It was so time-consuming and not practical at all! But since i am approved in SocialSpark, this means more opportunities for me to grab, and means, more bucks would go to my savings!
But what is this new social marketing network? How does it work? This is how it works fundamentally, Advertisers are able to target blogs based on conversational topics and make cash sponsorship offers to the bloggers who publish them. Bloggers can make money by either placing display advertisements on their blog or by writing sponsored content. The sponsorships offered through the SocialSpark marketplace allow advertisers to build buzz, generate traffic and maximize social media exposure.
This would mean advertisers and bloggers are on the equal playing field. For the bloggers like me, the advantages would be : 1.) Standing out in the crowd - we create profiles and tag ourselves so advertisers can find and engage us. 2.)Shake Your Money Maker - we get paid to write sponsored blog content on a per post basis, or have advertisers pay per day to sponsor your blog. 3.) Engage the masses - promote ourselves, our blogs and the individual pieces of contents we create. And 4.) Create a Universe - make new friends, discover new blogs and interact with other users. If you are an advertisers, you can : 1.) Handpick Your Bloggers - create a profile and tag yourself so bloggers can find and engage you. 2.) Establish your Army - Create Street Teams of online advocates that can be activated at any time. 3.)
Sponsor Blogs - Have bloggers create sponsored blog posts or run display advertising about your company. and 4.) Assess Your Success - Track your social media spend unlike ever before.
This is really great news for both bloggers and advertisers. So, signed up now. I f you are a blogger, keep on trying to be approved and don't lose hope if you'll not be approved right away. I had been submitting and resubmitting my blog, until they got tired and finally approved my blog! hehehehe! So, guys, try SocialSpark. I am so sure we will gonna like it and be hooked to it!

Officially Three
You got it right, i had been officially blogging for 3 months now! Made some few paid posts which i considered as fillings (just like a sandwich!). Not too bad actually to earn a little bit. I still got no Page rank(PR)and still envious to some who have! But i am soo happy for them, especially for those gracious ones who still added me even if i still hadn't got a rank. But who knows? Someday?... And to those who are selfish enough to add the others who got no PRs? You will gonna lose yours one day! hehehehe. How wicked of me!!!!
The truth is: i am enjoying blogging. In a quiet place like Aberdeenshire where i hadn't even known even one neighbor for 5 weeks that i am here, blogging is a great outlet, or outbursts, whatever! I made really few great, interesting pals in blogging. These people are very special people who i might never got the chance to meet in the real world... but thanks to blogging and thanks that i am doing blog hopping!!!!
Somehow i hadn't still graduated from being a neophyte. There are just too many things to learn and everyday i am just bombarded with the avalanche of information and somehow i can't manage to understand some of them! Each day there is new style, new trend, new code, new widget, etc.. .etc...Hence, for an old-fashioned person like me who is not really technologically savvy, somehow, i am culturally shock! There are just too many things to do here that are deemed unimaginable!
By the way, before i will end this post i wanna thank my Scottish friend, Jennifer Giles for visiting me,uhmmm, 3 weeks ago at our house. She was my first house guest. I was delighted to have her even just for few hours. Jennifer was our closest neighbor in Kemaman, Terengganu,Malaysia and how small is the world, we see each other again here in Scotland!
She brought me some lovely,lovely tulips... and i love tulips... I even wanted to go to Netherlands, the so-called land of the tulips to see and have photos with thousands of blooming, gregarious, well-manicured tulips and to see lots of windmills and other amazing things.
Here are some photos of me and lovely flowers and my beautiful friend Jennifer with the kids--- BabyCam, Prisco and Gaby (Jennifer and Kevin's daughter. Gezzz, look at her, she was still a baby when i saw her in Malaysia. Wow! Now, she's so independent and very active really!)...

Five Star Blogs
Maintaining one very good quality blog entails lots of passion, lots of workmanship, lots of creativity, lots of perseverance and lots of hardwork. How much more for maintaining four very goood quality blogs?
David got four fabulous blogs that are all must-see by fellow bloggers. I fell inlove with his photographs, the way he made the title for each post, the way how his photographs can be a story on each own, and the way he puts his words. They are just enthralling. I am still amazed how he did those!!!! In simple sense, just very pretty!
Take a look at these blogs....(Ah, how i wish they are mine!)....
1. Virginia Breeze
2. A Photo Link With Love
3. Shoot The Virginia Breeze
4. Newslink Briefs
The pictures alone will take your breath away. I was in awe when i visited these sites. It's like i am brought in a heavenly place. His news blog is just tempting with a tinge of humor and delight. I had really an enjoyable time during my visit! Thanks a lot, David for sharing your treasured photographs to the world. Thanks for sharing your talent to us. Your places in the blogosphere are just fabulous and are all with Five Star Ratings. More power to you! What a very good job!!!!
To you my beloved friends, try to see these blogs yourself. As i said, how i wish, they were mine!!!

SocialSpark Sparkling as a Sun!
Everyone is excited upon hearing that a new site is offering new and exciting opportunities to bloggers like me. Yes,SocialSpark is shining, sparkling as a radiant sun beckoning a new day to many bloggers in the blogosphere. This is another offering from Izea and everyone are invited to join.
If you love to blog, if you love to write and get paid doing it SocialSpark is your place to be. You can write about websites, products, services, and/or companies and earn cash for providing your honest opinion and valuable feedback to the advertisers. And because this is a social website as well, you can actually make friends while earning money. Very cool, actually!
I joined myself under the profile name as Priscocam although i would admit that i have lots of exploring to be done in this new site. I am so thrilled upon learning that it is becoming so popular now. What an impact! I picked up Priscocam because that is me and that i enjoyed blogging and that SocialSpark i believe will offer me unique and distinct opportunities i had not found in other sites. Oh well, i know my profile is somehow new and i had not put my photo yet, but slowly, slowly, dear friends. I will soon sort it out. How about you? Had you made your profile already? If you haven't already done so, go ahead and create a profile. Join me now!
