Why I Detest SocialSpark

Social Spark is the latest offering from IZEA and I detest it. Here is why. First, the website has issues. You do a search for 'open' and 'qualified' opportunities, select one and then go back and guess what? Yep, it lost your criteria and you have to start again - and thats just one annoying issue with that site.

Next, you don't get paid until you have earned $20. So you make 4-5 posts waiting 30-days after each posting before you can get a nickel out of them. That's just not fair.

Third, often they want you to add a disclosure banner but for certain sites that disclosure banner doesn't work and as a result, their automated check rejects your post. They claim to be working on the problem but I have three posts stuck in that hell that have been up over a month and no sign of payment.

Even worse, you can't use any other advertising in those posts so if you have google ads auto inserted into posts - forget it.

Frankly, SocialSpark sucks and is a big disappointment.
