From IZEA comes a great new get paid to blog social networking site called SocialSpark. I recently singed up (linked through PPP which is also from the great people at IZEA) and couldn't be more enamored with it. It's free to get involved with only a few minimum requirements for your blog before you can get started. If your blog is more than 90 days old with 20+ posts your pretty much qualified. If your blog isn't qualified right away don't fret you can still build up your network by adding friends, giving props and scoping opportunity's. All your information including your blog link and thumbnail will appear on your profile whether your qualified yet or not. I've been through my share of paid to blog sites in the past and none of them compared in quality to Social Spark.
Not only do they have a great concept here but they have excellent Customer Service (better known as Customer Love). You don't get the standard "Please allow up to 48 hours for a reply" that turns out to really be 72+ and even then you only get half an answer. They list the hours of operation for Customer Love -understandable and necessary if you want an answer from a real person. If you can't find the answer to your question within the well organized FAQ (which you most likely will) then you need to submit a ticket. I recently submitted a ticket myself and received a reply within a few hours. I don't think i have ever received such a prompt response to an issue aside from calling an 800 number (even then it can still take an hour)
Let me also mention their code of ethics (you can read more about them here):
>100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure - by keeping your readers aware and informed that you are getting paid for certain content you maintain trust.
>100% Transparency - all participants and participation is viewable by the public to keep everyone honest.
>100% Real Opinions - social spark encourages real opinions because in the end posts irrelevant to the topic will only hurt you.
>100% Search Engine Friendly - sponsored links carry the "no-follow" attribute as to not affect search engine rankings.
SocialSpark's bottom line is to provide an opportunity for bloggers to make a little money doing what they do best (blog) and maintain an honest open relationship with every one involved. It's a great opportunity and you have nothing to lose so check it out.
Come on Social Spark, light my fire
