No risk, no reward…
What’s crazy is PPP got so much backlash initially, but now many of those same haters turned out to be some of IZEA’s strong supporters. Good analogy about the cars and lack of safety devices initially…everyone learns through adversity & that’s how industries grow.
Continued success to you & the whole izea fam.
Have a good launch!
Hope to see you guys again soon
I’m sorry but, bloggers on their high horses need to realize they are effing BLOGGERS! You have been laughed at and ridiculed for years for busting your asses composing articles and making nothing for it. You even openly snicker about being “poor bloggers”.
Well, it’s time to RECON-IZE! Social Media has finally exploded to new heights you never could have imagined back in your younger but equally geeky years perfecting cheat codes on ‘Oregon Trail’. Now you can earn LEGITIMATE MONEY doing what you are ALREADY doing!
It’s interesting how you also have no problem taking money from advertisers for your blog… then why the hell wouldn’t you want make even more substantial money to review and inform your readers about a new product, company promotion, travel destination, or whatever it may be?
What is so wrong about getting paid to send out a single tweet (fully disclosed) letting your followers/ readers know of a product or service YOU BELIEVE IN!? Isn’t that what you spend all day talking about anyway? What you like, what you don’t like, what you so proudly label #failwhale…
You aren’t tweeting or blogging about anything you, yourself don’t have some degree of interest in. As a matter of fact, most paid blogging opportunities through Social Spark encourage honest and blunt reactions from their consumers/bloggers. You are paid quite generously based on your reach and influence.
You are paid for your opinion. It doesn’t mean you become a useless, sell-out, spam nazi!
I’m seriously baffled. it’s called INNOVATION! whew. deep breath…
You tell em Ted!
