Sverve

I was trying to increase my blogging income and looking at other bloggers income reports realized I wasn't taking advantage of sponsorships. Sponsorships seem to be a leading source of income for several bloggers with the more profitable campaigns paying up to $350.

 

I have recently joined Sverve after seeing the badge on one of the blogs I follow. Sverve is a little different than some other sponsorships sites as they are also a social networking site.

You are given a sverve score (between 0 and 100) based on three factors: 

- social media influence

- blog influence

- and sverve influence

 

 

The higher your total score, the more campaigns you will be eligible to participate in. 

Your Social Media Influence is based on your social following for Twitter, Google+, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram, and scores are weighed by the significance of each platform. Twitter and Facebook are given a higher significance in determining your score.

Your Blog Influence is based on your Alexa score, unique visitors, page views, Google Page Rank and how many backlink (sites linking you) you have.

Your Sverve score is based on how many endorsements you have especially for your top 3 categories.

 

 

You can try to gain more followers by following and endorsing people and hoping they follow back, and I always click through the Sverve badge when I see it on a blog and follow them hoping we might have similar images and they will follow me back. 

And you can share tips to get more exposure, Similar to a Facebook post where you add a message, link and image and they are displayed on the dashboard. I have clicked trough and liked a few so you can potentially get more blog views from this. 

 

I also love the dashboard it shows all your social media stats and Alexa rank in one easy to read place and updates them as they change (all except for your Pinterest followers which you have to do manually)

 

You should check the campaigns often and they vary in price from about $10 to up to $350 depending on what it is. But they will tell you what is required and you can choose to apply if you want. I find it takes a long time to hear back after you apply and they rarely post a closing date so you don't know when to expect a reply by. 

I do love the Twitter campaigns though! I have been involved in two so far and they paid 10 or 12 cents per tweet. And you can tweet once every 24 hours until the campaign is over (generally about 4 days or so) That may not be a ton of money but, it only takes a few seconds if you are already in Sverve - and every little bit helps makeup a bloggers income.

Please use my link if you plan to join Sverve, it's free to sign-up and I do earn a small commission for every new referral.

If you are looking for more Sverve followers please add your Sverve account to the link-up and endorse atleast the three links above yours. Also it would be great if you could follow and endorse everyone who does the same for you so we can all increase our Sverve scores. Thanks!
