A cautionary tale of getting paid to blog with SocialSpark

Getting paid to blog is a great way to make some extra cash to apply to debt. I have been using SocialSpark on some other blogs to earn some extra money to apply towards debt. SocialSpark is great because the links are all of the “no follow” variety which is supposed to keep you from getting rank spanked by Google.

Today I got notification that I had been paid for my first opp with SocialSpark. I was instructed to log into my account to initiate the PayPal payment. So, I did just that only to discover that it was a cruel joke.

Apparently there is a $20 minimum cash out amount in SocialSpark. So, instead of me getting my $8.25 to apply to debt, they get to hold it hostage until I get up to $20 in my account to cash out. Not cool.

So, not only do you have to wait the normal 30 days before getting “paid” but you also have to wait until you get $20 in your account to cash out and really get paid.
