This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of IZEA for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.
I haven’t always been a blogger, but I have always been pretty vocal about my opinion. My childhood doorways were usually decorated with handmade “No Smoking” signs and other awareness posters. I was that girl who collected money for UNICEF instead of asking for Halloween candy. Blogging seemed like a natural extension of my desire to connect with other people through the fabulous worldwide web. When I learned about the opportunity to monetize my blog, joining IZEA was a no-brainer. You can sign up with IZEA, too!
Brands that care about what YOU think are featured on IZEA. They value the opinions and shopping power of the men and women who browse the web. To get in on the action, consider the fact that IZEA reaches audiences on blogs, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. How can you get involved?
Joining IZEA is free but you also have some paid options. I pay $1 per month and it’s totally worth it. I get unlimited bids and have complete freedom over the work in which I choose to participate. IZEA’s platform makes it simple to bid and pitch. The user interface is very easy to use, too. The content can be created right on the site, then uploaded to my blog when it’s approved. Suggested phrases and required hashtags are located right on the dashboard. IZEA also understands the limitations that bloggers face regarding nofollow links and disclosure. I never feel like I have to compromise between ethics and monetization. I love that they’re so easy to work with!
I keep all of my IZEA leads in a notebook so that I know when my payment will come through (usually 30 days after the content is published). IZEA allows me to cash out at $50, and the money is put right into my Paypal account. This year the extra cash I earned from IZEA made it possible for me to purchase the XBox360 my kids wanted for Christmas. I couldn’t have splurged without IZEA. I’m so grateful to my readers for supporting me on Savings in Seconds, and to IZEA for making it simple to share the great brands I love!
If you think this would be a good fit for your blog, Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube readers, sign up with IZEA and start earning today!
We currently work with IZEA too and absolutely love it! It has such a user friendly interface!
I’m on IZEA but haven’t yet been selected for an opportunity … your post reminded me to go login now and see if there’s any new ones, though :).
I really have enjoyed opps from Izea through the years and their new platform is rather wonderful. Glad you are spreading the word about them 🙂
WE’ve been IZEA members for a year now, and haven’t gotten a single opp either, even though our traffic has increased 700% since signing up!

I’ve been with Izea since before they were Izea. I’m hoping to get some more opps in 2015, I haven’t gotten any under the new platform.
I know I am a member and am working on getting back in to figure things out. They have changed so much since I last used them.
I’ve heard of it, but don’t think I ever signed up. I need to though, sounds like it’s a great resource for sure.
I’ve gotten a few sponsored tweets and one blog post out of them. Not a bad platform! I’m hoping to get more opps with them in 2015, after I rebrand my blog.
I have never heard of Izea. I will have to check this out for my self.
