So, you're browsing SocialSpark, you come across an Opp you like, but Oh!  It's full for today.  What do you do?
Well, here is what some of you have been doing: requesting a slot via the comments section.  As seen below:

While this is certainly an innovative way of requesting a slot; it won't work.  Remember that the comments section is used to express comments about the Opp/Advertiser itself- not request a slot.  Advertisers LOVE to see bloggers expressing how eager they are to participate in their campaign, but let's go over the right way to snag a spot on some of the most highly requested Opportunities.
1.  After you've found an Opp you'd like to take, click on the Opp to be taken to it's Profile page.
2. Click on the 'Request a Slot,' from the orange Tools menu, on the top right of the profile.

3. After you have requested a slot, you will see a 'Request Sent' in your Message Center, which means the Advertiser will decide whether or not you are a good fit for this campaign.
4. When you are approved for a slot, you will receive a 'Reservation Created' notice in your Message Center, which means that you now have a slot!  You can then proceed to submit your post, as usual.  You have 12 hours to submit the post, from the time the email is sent.

Now, let's look at examples of other topics that should not be in the comments section.  Post approval status, payment questions, account issues, and general 'waiting for a slot!' or 'give me a slot!' topics do not belong in the comments sections.  For questions or issues regarding approval status, payments, or account issues, you must submit a ticket through the Help tab, from your SS account.

Here are some things you can leave for advertisers: comments about the product in general, comments about the Opp itself, constructive criticism about the product.

Hope this helps and happy blogging!
