Are You Earning from Your Technology Blog?
If you had been an avid follower of this blog, I had been writing some sponsored reviews in this blog every now and then. I am not limited to a single paid review site though, but one of the places where I get my technology-related sponsored reviews is at SocialSpark – and they got plenty of them in different flavors: blog posts, sponsorship, affiliates and CPCs.
One of the new changes that I like in SocialSpark is their CPC campaigns. I noticed that each click pays more than what I normally earn in Google Adsense. In addition to that, I am not limited to displaying CPCs only in my blogs – I got both Facebook and Twitter, and SocialSpark provides the necessary links for me to display those ads in two Social Networks.
I’ve tried posting out technology-related CPC links right here in this blog, and in Twitter and Facebook too. So far, I’ve earned more from both this blog and Twitter, but not much on Facebook. I guess it is because I’m not too actively involved in Facebook (but I am not simply posting out sponsored links either). However the earnings I got from promoting tech-related products or services are not really that much – I still need to learn and figure out how to get the most out from CPC clicks.
If you are a blogger who loves to write about technology as well as earn money from blogs, then be sure to head out to SocialSpark – they already got plenty of technology-related opportunities up for grabs.

Like Calvin I am not getting opps in SS lately. And I often forget to log into SS. I received an email from SS last night informing me that my blog qualified for some opps but I forgot to log in immediately so when I checked it a few moments ago the slots were already filled and I have to wait for a slot again.
SS and PPP were my big earners but the biggest earners now are SR and B.

I think CPC work well on SEO traffic – if these are placed well on one’s blog. I still don’t know how to maximize earning from it. So far, I’ve been using it in Twitter and I got $1.44.. it should be higher but I was thinking about the magpie ads that I got there. Hmm.. maybe I should lessen magpie ads and get more of this stuff in Twitter..

Sorry. But I can’t understand what you’ve explained. I have a very little knowledge about Google’s system. Sorry about that.

I have yet to give social spark a try (again). I already have an account with them but I cannot get an opportunity because of a certain code that I cannot paste on a certain part of my blog. Do you have a post like this here? Maybe you can have it as your next post. Another how-to would be nice.

Hi Gem, I may have to spend a lot of time digging in the information you are sharing, I am interested in knowing, but for now, I am doing at very slow pace, doing one things at a time, and I just moved out of Today and started my new blog at blogger, for now, that is the biggest step I made. I did not know we can also add CPC on FB, it is nice to know. Have not investigated that yet. But then, I will just have to learn one thing at a time so I can do them, hopefully, effectively.

I’ll have to try SocialSpark. I’ve used other similar “get paid to review” sites before and so far, so good. People who think earning online is for lazy people is wrong–this is fun but hard work!
