Money OnLine

What do you mean, not original?

Since one of my aim was to earn money online through blogging, I have signed up in different affiliate sites that allows bloggers to meet some companies online who are looking to hire bloggers for review of their products or services.

One of those that I have signed up with is Social Spark, I have been with them since 2008. It was in fact one of those sites that I have signed in during my initial quest to earn through blogging by writing paid posts.

But while it was one of the earliest, two years with them and I still haven’t earned a cent. While I am getting a moderate income from other sites because I do get writing opportunities from them, I have yet to get my first opps from Social Spark.

Often, I get email notifications that I am qualified to take an opportunity and asked me to sign in for it, which I did. But each time I do, I am met with the “Reserve a slot” instead of take this opportunity. Initially, I do click on the “Reserve” button hoping that I will be notified once a slot would become available. Which never really happened, so now when I get those emails, I just ignored them.

But the latest email I received from them, couldn’t just be ignored. It was not an opportunity to earn money, by the way. It was an accusation that my blog does not have original content!

Here’s a screen capture of the said email:

Did you see that? “A majority of this blog content is not original”

What?! You must be kidding me.

The email is referring to my Sugar Coated World, a blog where I post original poetry and personal essays, and social spark has to guts to say they are not original?!

Not surprising really, because that’s what you got when talk with bots and other machine-automated replies — THEY DON’T THINK! They just rely on certain algorithms that are not really reliable, as proven by what they are saying on my blog.

Right now, I am in the process of deleting my account with them and removing all the codes they asked to me embed in my blogs when I signed it.

Honestly, I don’t mind not getting any writing opportunity, I can live with that. But to say my poems are not original is an outright insult!

Deleting my anti-social spark account now.
