It’s time for a little blogging for profit news from around the ‘net. Things have been rather quiet around here. It’s a new year now and that often means launch time.
Triberr Opens to the Public – If you have been waiting for Triberr to come out of beta for the last year, you are in luck. Monday they opened it to everyone. You will no longer need an invite.
Do you really want in? I can’t say. I have been in there for some time. Today’s Triberr is far different than Triberr Version I. It is no longer fully automated. You will need to go in and approve your tribe members’ posts daily. (Or every few days in my case. That seems to be how long it is taking my tribe members’ posts to show up in my stream right now. Perhaps the lag is due to the launch.)
My advice is to stick with a small tribe of similar blogs. You have to keep your followers in mind here. They followed you because they like the topic you blog about. If you are a recipe blogger and suddenly start tweeting out automotive tips all day long, you may not have many followers left. My second tip is do not even think about getting in there if you plan to use it as a one-way street. Out of all of the tribes I have been in there, only one still remains. There are always a few that plug in their feed and never show back up to promote other tribe members. No one likes a user.
Business2Blogger Affiliate Program – As a blogger you likely have to turn advertisers away from time to time. Maybe they aren’t a good fit for your blog. Maybe you are overwhelmed with what you have going already. Maybe you have hit your personal monthly limit. Regardless, you no longer have to send them away empty-handed. And you can still earn a little bit of cash in the process. Business2Blogger opened their affiliate program this week, and they will pay you 25% of the referred sale. Sign up through ShareASale.
New Emails from SocialSpark – I do love SocialSpark, and they have become a much bigger portion of my monthly blogging for profit plan with their ever-expanding income avenues recently. Their system did leave a bit to be desired though. Previously they sent out an email daily saying, “You have 86 leads available.” I had no idea what those leads were or how much they paid without heading over to the site. The previous emails also only listed sponsored post opportunities and not new “deals.” That’s no longer the case! Details and the pay for new sponsored posts and deals are now being spelled out in the daily emails. This will make our lives much easier. If you are not yet a member of SocialSpark, register your blogs here.
I’m happy to see some new things going on around here. I’ve been a little bored. What excited blogging news have you come across lately?

wow that is really great Angie. I use Triberr and Social spark and find a lot of benefit from both systems. Appreciate you introducing me to the new business to bloggers network.

I don’t promote a lot from that network, but I do make payout regularly.

SocialSpark is too slow in getting leads for bloggers and the blogger2blogger thing is a better fit for us small time folks like myself. I really like how they re-configured the whole dashboard/interface. Much cleaner.
Triberr…blecchhh! Beta was a dog, and having to de-clutter my stream with other’s posts was a nightmare. Can’t see this one gaining too much traction.

I love B2B’s new job board, and I do think it could give a lot of bloggers a much less stressful way to get into review blogging. I love this setup as opposed to some of the more “insider” groups out there.
I don’t know how to feel about Triberr yet, Tony. And I have been in there for months! lol It will be interesting to see how things move forward now that it is open to the public.

Angie,
LOL. I come here, you are talking about Tiberr and Eddie and I are in the same tribe. He is awesome at SEO. And always willing to help me, although, I have not reached out to him, he did offer. Hey Eddie!
I liked Triberr better when it was automated but I know they had no control over that function. I stayed because I believe in my tribes and I believe in Dino.
I have shied away from much advertising on my blog like the type at Share A Sale but I may have to check that out. Do you have a more detailed post about Share A Sale?

I still use Triberr. I have one little group that is still going strong, but we are tiny in comparison to some of the others I have been in. It works for us. I am 100% confident in tweeting what they put out there. I hope they feel the same.
I don’t think I do have one on ShareASale, Allie. I will work on one though.

Thanks for the great ideas! I looked into Triberr but the concept is somehow lost on me with bones and all lol. I will try to spend some more time on it and see how it goes. I have heard some people really love it and I hope I do too! I’ll have to wait to look into social spark as I hear they want your blog to be at least three months old and I haven’t launched mine yet. Def something on my list though
