So, you have signed up for Social Spark and you are anxious to get started. But…you are filled with questions. What do I do first? Where do I start?
Well, fear not Social Sparkers; I am here to save the day!
The very first thing you should do is create your own blogger profile. Take your mouse and hover over the “account” button. A scroll down menu will appear, and you will click on “create a blogger account” or “manage blogger account”.
You will now be guided through the process of completing your profile. You will add your blogger “basics” information (name, about you, etc). Be sure to fill everything out in this section or else you will not be able to save and move on (meaning the dreaded error message will appear, wha wha).
Next, you will be asked to either create or upload your own avatar. Once you have completed this, click “save and continue”. (Take a look at my super awesome Goonies avatar!!!)
And then, you will be asked to complete a section about your “interests”. Which includes your favorite types of music, movies, sports, recreational activities and other interests. In this section you can also add all of your interest tags, but be sure to separate them all with a coma!
Now, you have come to the section called “send me stuff”. This is an awesome opportunity for you to pick up some free swag from us and our advertisers. You will be asked to fill in your address (which can be kept private, and it will NOT be seen in your profile). Then you will be asked about your height, weight, sizes, etc. This information will allow you to receive product samples from advertisers as well as goodies from the Izea team! (Again, we will not show this information publicly on your profile)
Finally, you will complete the “lifestyle” section of your profile. Here you will be asked questions about your status, children, education and occupation. Once you have completed this section click “save and continue”.
And…drum roll please….
Congratulations…you now have your blogger profile set up and the fun can begin!!!
P.S….Don’t forget to click on “manage blogger profile” and “edit profile” if you want to change any of your information. Don’t press the “back” button on your browser or you will have to start over
