Ladies and Gentlemen:

In accordance with Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, IZEA, Inc. hereby requests that the effectiveness of the above-referenced Registration Statement be accelerated so that it will become effective at 9:30 a.m., Eastern time, on Wednesday, May 14, 2014, or as soon as possible thereafter.

In connection with IZEA’s request for acceleration of the effective date of the Registration Statement, IZEA acknowledges:

• should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

• the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve IZEA from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

• IZEA may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Very truly yours,
