IZEA Makes It Easy to Monetize Your Photos and Videos With Staree, Their Brand New Social Media Platform

Rate this post

This post brought to you by IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I've been blogging for several years now and one of the easiest and most reliable ways I've found to make money with my blog is through IZEA, the makers of SocialSpark.com and SponsoredTweets.com.  IZEA believes that bloggers who create great content should be rewarded monetarily and have partnered with thousands of sponsors that make this happen on a daily basis.

Recently, they've launched a brand new platform that allows you to receive compensation for truly spectacular pictures and videos.  It's called Staree and can serve as a new photo and video application which pays you money based on the traffic your particular upload receives.  With Staree, you can post photos and videos via Staree.com or through mobile apps on both the iPhone and Android.

Staree is available to everyone, but you must apply to be part of this program.  The application process is extremely simple and merely involves linking up either your Twitter or Facebook accounts (or both).  Klout scores could also come into play here, so if you aren't already signed up with Klout, you may want to consider doing so.  I applied to Staree, but as of the writing of this post, have not received word as to whether I've been accepted or not.

Staree isn't just for normal folks either.  Even Hollywood celebrities are getting into the act and joining up.  For instance, Kendall Schmidt and Logan Henderson have signed on as official spokesmen for the brand and are using Staree to heighten their social media presence.  They're not the only ones either.  Several hundred celebs signed up during Staree's beta program and will be active on this new platform.

If you'd like to learn more and sign up yourself, make sure to head over to Staree.com and complete the application.  Since I'm not an official member yet, I'm still a little sketchy on the details, but one thing's for sure:  if IZEA's behind it, I'm sure it's going to be stellar!

  • Thank you for this article, Melissa! I discovered two new programs thanks to this article!

  • How do they pay? It matters how friends/followers you have?
    Also, can you promote it elsewhere (Stumbleupon, personal blog)?

    • Actually, I wouldn't recommend Staree anymore, since I still have not been approved to participate (even though that was supposed to occur in just a few days) and don't know if this program is still even active or if it's already gone under.
