30 Day Challenge With Sponsored Tweets PRO – Start
Posted in News | Posted on 
07-28-2011 | 1 Comment
So, I decided to try out about a week ago the Sponsored Tweets PRO membership to really see if it makes any difference in gaining more paid to tweet opportunities.
With the system, apparently my membership would put me closer to the advertiser and not so far down as the ‘low man on the totem pole.’ This idea for experimenting came about as I combed the Sponsored Tweets support forum and the majority of the comments about it was just disappointing.
While I get a free 30 day trial on the system, I am going to be gathering comments from other PRO users, reveal if I actually got a decent opportunity or two, and share my final thoughts.
I am glad Izea is making money on their properties, but I think with so many users in the program, the advertising programs they offer, and more, the system, seems to have deviated off its original path and only become useful to those with large follower accounts. These larger follower counts do not necessarily have a great “true” reach – meaning they might have 80,000 followers, but maybe a reach that is 5 to 10 percent of that number.
It makes me wonder if even the Klout system, also an Izea property, is as accurate as it should be or perhaps another faulty system.
So, follow me on my journey.

Izea, known for its properties such as SponsoredTweets, PayPerPost, and others, recently acquired Be-A-Magpie.com. Basically “Magpie” is a paid to tweet services, just like Izea’s property, Sponsored Tweets.
While I see this is great for Izea, is it really going to be good news for Sponsored Tweet publishers who are already complaining about the lack of decent opportunities available to them. On top of that, with the recent introduction of Sponsored Tweets PRO program, will there be more opportunities.
As an early on signup with Sponsored Tweets, I had hopes. In the beginning, I got decent opportunities and it has dwindled down Read More →
Blogging Ain’t Perfect: Language Barriers
Posted in Blogging | Posted on 07-23-2011 | 7 Comments
I love reading blogs all the time. There are so many people with different experiences and different reasons for wanting to blog. This includes bloggers with language barriers to overcome. This article will cover my series- Blogging Ain’t Perfect. I hope to address the language barrier issue.
I am not perfect when it comes to writing and English is my first language. It is not uncommon that I might have a grammar issue from time to time. In fact, every so often I get an email with a correction. I normally am happy to correct the issue and even grateful to Read More →
Popularity And Being Influential Are Not Always The Same

Popularity and being influential are not always the same thing. While it is often great to be popular, or be influential, or both, they are not always a hand in hand type of deal.
For example, you can influence a small group of people or a large group of people. Being popular normally means you are liked by many. Some people who are influential may not be popular with others.
While popularity is great, being influential is a lot more important. You are the person people learn from and become better. (Of course, you can also be negatively influential, but I like Read More →
