When I thought my Blog was ripe enough to submit in PayPerPost I made my first big move in my Blog life and that was to submit my weblog to Payperpost for approval in their marketplace. But as newbie blogger the format and concept of my weblog make it a reason for them disapprove my weblog in their marketplace. What I mean is the structure of my Permalink which they want it to be in a chronological archive. But to change that, Google PR will penalize me for a not found URL (404 Error). SO I said to myself forget it.
But as days goes by another social network had been introduced by Izea the same people behind the success of PayPerPost. To make story short, I’m one of the thousand bloggers who received email from them to try out the new “SocialSpark .com” The Social Marketing Network by Izea. Even though I don’t make it in PPP I still give it a try since I feel important for them to send me the invitation to try SocialSpark. So I signed up and submit my blog and wait for a day to know if my blog is approve or not. But unfortunately it was declined…again and again.

So I said to myself this aren’t right, there is really something wrong in my blog that I need to correct or to improve as I believe that people in SocialSpark known what they doing. So after three months of learning and improving base on their comments, finally I made it to be approved and now I’m officially SocialSparker. Sparky is OK, Cool Eh!

If you wonder why I never give up like my experience in PPP, simple it was a blogging community, it’s a social network where I can find and meet more bloggers and at the same time I can also get a chance to socialize and added exposure of my blog to other potential advertiser. And since SocialSpark is a community the best thing is that by this way, you can make a new friendship, have a chance to interact and find potential partners to work with, and because you can vote by “Prop” or “drop” to your fellow blogger and even to advertiser. Basically, a “prop” is a positive vote, and “drop” is a negative vote, which is the new way of giving someone your vote of confidence or high rating. You have also the choice in many areas, to offer a “prop” or “drop” to other members, opportunities, blog, etc. With this system because you can easily search members by filtering their information, as number of props and drops, views and friends, which could let you to determine who is an active blogger, and who is not.

Another good thing at SocialSpark is their code of ethics, a 100% disclosure, 100% Transparency, 100% opinion which is fair for bloggers and for advertisers But the real stuff for me is the 100% Search Engine Friendly that will benefit the bloggers instead of been penalize by Google PageRank for a paid link that really hate by Google as how they see it and that will result of a zero PageRank of your weblog. As a newbie in blogging and SocialSpark I think I said enough and for newbie like me if you quite a bit intimidated to SocialSpark, no harm in trying, nothing to lose and learn from your mistakes and understand their comments and from then the success is yet to come.

I was planning to buy an LCD TV but I still need to work it out to get my wife approval about this. I know I’m the one who’s going to pay it anyway but that was marriage is all about, man’s decision is not final they need to be approved by the commander-in-chief which is my wife.
So to make story short, what I did was I give her a day off last weekend and let her having a good time with her friends and sisters, she can’t believe it but I said-I will be in-charge with all the house chores and even taking care of my two years old son, I know it was insane, but I need to work it out and it’s not really that simple to get a yes answer from my wife (sure you know that when you are just courting your wife then). I know she already have an idea why I’m doing this but she just try to act she knows nothing since this is what she like to have a day off in house chores on the weekend, right?.
So weekends come, her sister pick her up and left. Now it was only I and my son, then I open the TV let my son watch a couple of show and I start cleaning up. Then that was the only time I notice what type of vacuum do we have, it was an old huge, heavy upright vacuum that my wife friends given to us. I can’t imagine how much power this machine consume every time were using it, I know it was loud but what the … So I decided better not to use it, instead I pick up the broom and pan and do it manually, I think it will be more efficient and easy that using the old, heavy vacuum only it was more time consuming and my back will surely bother me after that. Now I’m in trouble..
After a few hours of cleaning I immediately surf the internet and try to find a better alternative vacuum to replace the old vacuum. Since I already know “Dirt Devil” brand I Google it as a keyword and try to find out what’s the latest product they have. When the result show, what caught my interest is their new Dirt Devil AccuCharge Stick Vac and Hand Vac which is look so lightweight and man, imagine a 70% less energy consumption - this baby is the first cordless cleaning technology to earn Energy Star approval. Absolutely this will really save me more money compare to my old power sucker vacuum, I can’t believe how’s my wife thought by not buying a new vacuum will save her some extra money, and since this cordless and lightweight, means faster cleaning tim and more time for loving. Now I can tell her that we really need to buy a new vacuum (oh no, my LCD TV is in danger). But that’s OK I don’t think it’s not a problem this is not an expensive gadget, and surely I will never say no if my wife ask me to do the cleaning again. The Dirt Devil AccuCharge will do the job, less effort for me but efficient, surely I will get my wife approval with this one. Enough for now I need to put my son for a shower.
