Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Unaudited Interim Financial Information The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 , the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are unaudited but include all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such dates and our results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), does not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 19, 2015. Nature of Business IZEA, Inc. (the "Company") was founded in February 2006 under the name PayPerPost, Inc. and became a public company incorporated in the state of Nevada in May 2011. The Company is headquartered in Orlando, Florida with additional offices in Chicago and Los Angeles. The Company is a leading company in the social sponsorship space, creating the first social sponsorship marketplace in 2006 with the launch of our first platform, PayPerPost.com . Social sponsorship is when a company compensates a social media publisher or influencer such as a blogger or tweeter ("creators") to share sponsored content with their social network audience. This sponsored content is shared within the body of a content stream, a practice also referred to as “native advertising” and "sponsored content.” On January 30, 2015, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Ebyline, Inc. (“Ebyline”), pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 27, 2015, by and among IZEA, Ebyline and the stockholders of Ebyline (see Note 2). Based in Los Angeles, California, Ebyline operates an online marketplace that enables publishers to access a network of over 12,000 content creators ranging from writers to illustrators in 73 countries. Over 2,000 fully vetted individuals in the Ebyline network have professional journalism credentials with backgrounds at well-known media outlets. Ebyline’s proprietary workflow is utilized by leading media organizations to obtain the content they need from professional content creators. In addition to publishers, Ebyline is leveraged by brands to produce custom branded content for use on their owned and operated sites, as well as third party content marketing and native advertising efforts. The Company currently operates the Ebyline online marketplace along with its own online marketplace that connects brands with creators at IZEA.com as well as other white label marketplaces. IZEA.com and all white label sites are powered by the IZEA Exchange (“ IZEAx ”), a platform that handles content workflow, creator search and targeting, bidding, analytics and payment processing. IZEAx is designed to provide a unified ecosystem that enables the creation of multiple types of content including blog posts, status updates, videos and photos through a wide variety of social channels including blogs, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr, among others. Prior to the launch of IZEAx, the Company had independent technology platforms including PayPerPost.com , SocialSpark.com and SponsoredTweets.com , all of which were transitioned to the IZEAx system by the end of 2014. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IZEA, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, IZEA Innovations, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ebyline, Inc. (together, the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with IZEA considered the accounting acquirer of Ebyline. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the underlying Ebyline tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair market values with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that are preliminary, based on work performed to date. IZEA anticipates that all the information needed to identify and measure values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be obtained and finalized during the one -year measurement period following the acquisition date. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the unaudited consolidated financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Uncollectibility of accounts receivable is not significant since most customers are bound by contract and are required to fund the Company for all the costs of an “opportunity,” defined as an order created by an advertiser for a creator to write about the advertiser’s product. If a portion of the account balance is deemed uncollectible, the Company will either write-off the amount owed or provide a reserve based on the uncollectible portion of the account. Management determines the collectibility of accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. The Company has a reserve of $31,000 for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2015 . The Company did not have a reserve for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2014 . Management believes that this estimate is reasonable, but there can be no assurance that the estimate will not change as a result of a change in economic conditions or business conditions within the industry, the individual customers or the Company. Any adjustments to this account are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as a general and administrative expense. Bad debt expense was less than 1% of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 . Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are typically limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk. The Company also controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable. At September 30, 2015 , the Company had one customer which accounted for 12% of total accounts receivable in the aggregate. At December 31, 2014 , the Company had two customers which accounted for 29% of total accounts receivable in the aggregate. The Company had one customer that accounted for 14% of its revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and no customers that accounted for more than 10% of its revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2014 . The Company had one customer that accounted for 14% of its revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and one customer that accounted for 10% of its revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . Property and Equipment Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Computer Equipment 3 years Software Costs 3 years Office Equipment 3 - 10 years Furniture and Fixtures 5 - 10 years Leasehold Improvements 5 years Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, related costs and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed and any gain or loss is recognized in net income or loss. Depreciation expense recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $53,337 and $24,903 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Depreciation expense recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $149,873 and $65,683 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Software Development Costs In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software and ASC 985-730, Computer Software Research and Development , research phase costs related to internal use software should be expensed as incurred and development phase costs including direct materials and services, payroll and benefits and interest costs may be capitalized. The Company amortizes software development costs equally over 5 years upon initial launch of the software. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $ 117,000 in 2015 and for the next three years and then $33,000 thereafter. Amortization expense on software development costs recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $28,966 and $47,406 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Amortization expense on software development costs recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $85,854 and $94,812 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Intangible Assets The Company acquired intangible assets through its acquisition of Ebyline on January 30, 2015. The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangible assets over a period of 12 to 60 months. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other , goodwill resulting from business combinations is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently, if certain indicators are present. In the event that management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the Company will record a charge for the amount of impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made. Revenue Recognition The Company derives its revenue from three sources: revenue from an advertiser when it pays for a social media publisher or influencer such as a blogger or tweeter ("creators") to share sponsored content with their social network audience ("Sponsored Revenue"), revenue when a publisher or company purchases custom branded content for use on its owned and operated sites, as well as third party content marketing and native advertising efforts ("Content Revenue") and revenue derived from various service and license fees charged to users of our platforms ("Service Fee Revenue"). Sponsored revenue is recognized and considered earned after an advertiser's sponsored content is posted through IZEAx and shared through a creator's social network for a requisite period of time. The requisite period ranges from 3 days for a tweet to 30 days for a blog, video or other form of content. Management fees related to Sponsored Revenue from advertising campaigns managed by the Company are recognized ratably over the term of the campaign which may range from a few days to months. Content Revenue is recognized when the content is delivered to and accepted by the customer. Service fees charged to customers are primarily related to subscription fees for different levels of service within a platform, licensing fees for white-label use of IZEAx , early cash-out fees if a creator wishes to take proceeds earned for services from their account when the account balance is below certain minimum balance thresholds and inactivity fees for dormant accounts. Service fees are recognized immediately when the service is performed or at the time an account becomes dormant or is cashed out. Self-service advertisers must prepay for services by placing a deposit in their account with the Company. The deposits are typically paid by the advertiser via credit card. Advertisers who use the Company to manage their social advertising campaigns or content requests may prepay for services or request credit terms. Payments received or billings in advance of services are recorded as unearned revenue until earned as described above. All of the Company's revenue is generated through the rendering of services and is recognized under the general guidelines of SAB Topic 13 A.1 which states that revenue will be recognized when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers its revenue as generally realized or realizable and earned once (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the advertiser or customer is fixed (required to be paid at a set amount that is not subject to refund or adjustment) and determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company records revenue on the gross amount earned since it generally is the primary obligor in the arrangement, it takes on credit risk, it establishes the pricing and determines the service specifications. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are charged to expense as they are incurred, including payments to contact creators to promote the Company. Advertising expense charged to operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $199,000 and $347,000 , respectively. Advertising expense charged to operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $411,000 and $635,000 , respectively. Advertising costs are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Deferred Rent The Company’s operating leases for its office facilities contain rent abatements and predetermined fixed increases of the base rental rate during the lease term. The Company accounts for rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company records the difference between the straight-line expense versus the actual amounts paid under the lease as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Income Taxes The Company has not recorded federal income tax expense due to the generation of net operating losses. Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet approach which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company incurs minimal state franchise taxes in two states which is included in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. The Company identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is a less than more-likely-than-not probability of the position being upheld when reviewed by the relevant taxing authority. Such positions are deemed to be unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding liability is established on the balance sheet. The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company’s tax years, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally remain open for three years from the date of filing. Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative financial instruments are defined as financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying factor (e.g., interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets. The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, how the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how the derivative instruments and related hedging items affect the financial statements. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible debt and equity instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 to be accounted for separately from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect certain market assumptions. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: • Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. • Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. • Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The Company does not have any Level 1 or 2 financial assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities measured at fair value consisted of a warrant liability (see Note 4) and its acquisition cost liability (see Note 2) as of September 30, 2015 . Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the warrants include the estimated term and risk-adjusted interest rates. In developing our credit risk assumption used in the fair value of warrants, consideration was made of publicly available bond rates and US Treasury Yields. However, since the Company does not have a formal credit-standing, management estimated its standing among various reported levels and grades for use in the model. During all periods, management estimated that the Company's standing was in the speculative to high-risk grades (BB- to CCC in the Standard and Poor's Rating). Significant increases or decreases in the estimated remaining period to exercise or the risk-adjusted interest rate could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, unearned revenue and accrued expenses. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s capital lease obligations approximate their carrying value based upon current rates available to the Company. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation cost related to stock options granted under the May 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and August 2011 B Equity Incentive Plan (together, the "2011 Equity Incentive Plans") (see Note 6) is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The Company estimates the fair value of its common stock using the closing stock price of its common stock as quoted in the OTCQB marketplace on the date of the option award. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the volatility of comparable peer companies that are publicly traded and have had a longer trading history than itself. The Company determines the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and post-vesting forfeitures. The Company uses the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company used the following assumptions for options granted under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 : Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2011 Equity Incentive Plans Assumptions September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, Expected term 6 years 5 years 6 years 5 years Weighted average volatility 53.81% 40.37% 56.62% 40.83% Weighted average risk free interest rate 1.78% 1.75% 1.58% 1.71% Expected dividends — — — — The Company estimates forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and this estimate of forfeitures is adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment, which is recognized in the period of change, and a revised amount of unamortized compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. Average expected forfeiture rates were 15.37% and 3.79% during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Average expected forfeiture rates were 12.37% and 7.29% during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC 505, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. The fair value of equity instruments issued to consultants that vest immediately is expensed when issued. The fair value of equity instruments issued to consultants that have future vesting and are subject to forfeiture if performance does not occur is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Fair values for the unvested portion of issued instruments are adjusted each reporting period. The change in fair value is recorded to additional paid-in capital. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable. Segment Information The Company does not identify separate operating segments for management reporting purposes. The results of consolidated operations are the basis on which management evaluates operations and makes business decisions. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain items have been reclassified in the 2014 financial statements to conform to the 2015 presentation. The Company has reclassified wages and other expenses related to its sales and marketing personnel out of general and administrative expense and into sales and marketing expense. Recent Accounting Pronouncements There are new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") which are not yet effective. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or operating results. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2017.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]	EBYLINE ACQUISITION Purchase Price On January 30, 2015, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Ebyline, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 27, 2015, by and among IZEA, Ebyline and the stockholders of Ebyline for a maximum purchase price to be paid over the next three years of $8,850,000 . The total consideration is made up of four components: (a) a cash payment of $1,200,000 paid at closing; (b) an issuance of IZEA Common Stock valued at $250,000 paid on July 30, 2015; (c) a cash or stock payment of up to an additional $1,900,000 ( subject to proportional reduction in the event Ebyline’s final 2014 revenue was below $8,000,000 ). Ebyline's final gross revenue for 2014 was $7,903,429 . As such, the total amount owed is $1,877,064 to be paid in two equal installments of $938,532 on January 30, 2016 and January 30, 2017; and (d) total contingent performance payments up to $5,500,000 based on Ebyline meeting certain revenue targets. The performance payments are to be made only if Ebyline achieves at least 90% of Content Revenue targets of $17,000,000 in 2015, $27,000,000 in 2016 and $32,000,000 in 2017. If Ebyline achieves at least 90% , but less than 100% of the Content Revenue targets, the performance payments owed of $1,800,000 , $1,800,000 and $1,900,000 for each of the three years ending December 31, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, will be subject to adjustment. Anything below 90% of the Content Revenue targets will not be eligible for any performance payment. The performance payments are also subject to a 17% reduction in the event that either of the two executive employees retained during the acquisition were no longer employed at the end of the measurement year. Performance payments are due no later than 90 days after the measuring period and may be paid in cash or common stock, at the Company's option. Consideration Payable The fair value of the total estimated future consideration to be paid is as follows: Estimated Gross Purchase Consideration Initial Present and Fair Value Remaining Present and Fair Value 1/30/2015 1/30/2015 9/30/2015 Cash paid at closing $ 1,200,000 $ 1,200,000 $ — Present value of the guaranteed purchase price (a) 2,127,064 1,982,639 1,800,596 Fair value of contingent performance payments (b) 2,210,000 1,834,300 100,000 Acquisition costs to be paid by Ebyline shareholders (c) (89,700 ) Total estimated consideration $ 5,537,064 $ 5,016,939 $ 1,810,896 Current portion of acquisition costs payable 833,227 Long term portion of acquisition costs payable 977,669 Total acquisition costs payable $ 1,810,896 (a) The guaranteed purchase price consideration, as detailed above, was discounted to present value using our current borrowing rate of prime plus 2% (5.25%) . Interest expense imputed on the acquisition costs payable in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $28,651 and $43,789 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 . Per the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 636,294 shares of its common stock valued at $250,000 to satisfy a portion of the guaranteed purchase price payment obligation on July 30, 2015. (b) The fair value of the $5,500,000 of contingent performance payments described above was calculated using a Monte-Carlo simulation to simulate revenue over the next three years. Since the contingent consideration has an option like structure, a risk-neutral framework is considered appropriate for the valuation. The Company started with a risk-adjusted measure of forecasted revenue (using a risk-adjusted discount rate of 8.5% ) and assumed it will follow geometric brownian motion to simulate the revenue at future dates. Once the initial revenue was estimated based off of projections made during the acquisition, payout was calculated for each year and present valued to incorporate the credit risk associated with these payments. The Company's initial value conclusion was based on the average payment from 100,000 simulation trials. The volatility used for the simulation was 35% . The Monte Carlo simulation resulted in a calculated fair value of contingent performance payments of $2,210,000 on January 30, 2015 . Because the contingent performance payments are subject to a 17% reduction related to the continued employment of certain key employees, ASC 805-10-55-25 indicates that a portion of these payments be treated as potential compensation to be accrued over the term rather than allocated to the purchase price. Therefore, the Company reduced its overall purchase price consideration by $357,700 and recorded the initial present value of the contingent performance payments at $1,834,300 . During the three months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company reassessed the expected revenues to be produced from Content Revenues over the next three years. The revised Content Revenue estimates are below 90% of the required Content Revenues targets. The Monte Carlo simulation as of September 30, 2015 with these revised projections resulted in a revised calculated fair value of contingent performance payments of $100,000 . The gain as a result of the decrease in the estimated fair value of contingent performance payments of $1,734,300 is recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expense in the Company's statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 . (c) According to the stock purchase agreement, certain acquisition costs paid by Ebyline during the acquisition process are to be paid by the selling shareholders. These costs will be deducted from the guaranteed payment on January 30, 2016. Purchase Price Allocation The preliminary allocation of the purchase price as of January 30, 2015 is summarized as follows: Initial Purchase Price Allocation Current assets $ 738,279 Property and equipment 27,194 Identifiable intangible assets 2,370,000 Goodwill 2,468,289 Security deposits 18,553 Current liabilities (605,376 ) Total estimated consideration $ 5,016,939 Intangible Assets and Goodwill The identifiable intangible assets in the purchase price allocation consist of the following assets: Accumulated Amortization Net Book Value Useful Life (in years) Identifiable Intangible Asset Initial Value 9/30/2015 9/30/2015 Content provider network $ 30,000 20,000 10,000 1 Ebyline trade name 40,000 26,666 13,334 1 Workflow customers 210,000 70,000 140,000 2 Developed technology 300,000 40,000 260,000 5 Virtual Newsroom customers 1,790,000 238,667 1,551,333 5 Total identifiable intangible assets $ 2,370,000 $ 395,333 $ 1,974,667 The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangible assets over a weighted average period of 4 years. Amortization expense on the identifiable intangible assets costs recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $148,250 and $395,333 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The estimated amortization expense for future years is as follows: 2015 $ 543,583 2016 528,834 2017 426,750 2018 418,000 2019 418,000 Thereafter 34,833 Total $ 2,370,000 The Company has recorded $2,468,289 in goodwill from the Ebyline acquisition as of September 30, 2015 . This amount represents the excess of the purchase consideration of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. There are many synergies between the business operations of Ebyline and IZEA including a database of creators that can provide content and advertising and synergies between our online marketplaces that appeal to customers on both sides. The Ebyline operations contributed revenue of $2,173,617 and gross profit of $243,525 in the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 . The Ebyline operations contributed revenue of $5,704,622 and gross profit of $624,919 in the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 .

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTES PAYABLE Bridge Bank Credit Agreement On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into a secured credit facility agreement with Bridge Bank, N.A. of San Jose, California, and expanded this facility with an agreement on April 13, 2015. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company may submit requests for funding up to 80% of its eligible accounts receivable up to a maximum credit limit of $5 million . This agreement is secured by the Company's accounts receivable and substantially all of the Company's other assets. The agreement renews annually and requires the Company to pay an annual facility fee of $20,000 ( 0.4% of the credit limit) and an annual due diligence fee of $1,000 . Interest accrues on the advances at the rate of prime plus 2% per annum. The default rate of interest is prime plus 7% . If the agreement is terminated prior to May 1, 2016, the Company will be required to pay a termination fee of .70% of the credit limit divided by 80% . As of September 30, 2015 , the Company had no advances outstanding under this agreement. The Company incurred $50,510 in costs related to this loan acquisition in prior years and an additional $23,184 in costs related to the loan expansion in April 2015. These costs are capitalized in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as loan acquisition costs within other current assets and are amortized to interest expense over one year . The Company amortized $5,796 and $1,375 of these costs through interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company amortized $6,796 and $7,217 of these costs through interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company evaluates its convertible debt, warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with paragraph 810-10-05-4 and 815-40-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the Statement of Operations as other income or expense. Upon registration of the shares, changes in price-based anti-dilution adjustments, conversion or exercise, as applicable, of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the date of the occurrence of the event and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities will be classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument is expected within 12 months after the balance sheet date. Warrant Liability 2014 Activity: On February 21, 2014, the Company issued five -year warrants to purchase 17,142,864 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share and five -year warrants to purchase 17,142,864 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreements entered into in connection with a private placement of its shares in February 2014 (the "2014 Private Placement"). As part of the 2014 Private Placement, the Company also issued a five -year warrant to purchase up to 750,511 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share and a five -year warrant to purchase up to 750,511 shares of the Company' common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share to the placement agent. The Company determined that these warrants (the “2014 Warrants”) required classification as a liability due to certain registration rights and listing requirements that required the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC for purposes of registering the resale of the shares underlying the 2014 Warrants. The 2014 Warrants also required classification as a liability due to provisions for potential exercise price adjustments. The Company determined that the fair value of the 2014 Warrants on their issuance date on February 21, 2014 was $12,382,216 . These shares are currently registered with the SEC pursuant to the Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-195081) filed by the Company on April 30, 2015, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 4, 2015. Although the shares underlying the 2014 Warrants are currently registered, they still required liability classification due to the provisions for potential exercise price adjustments. From July 20, 2015 through August 14, 2015, the Company offered a 26% discount on the warrant exercise prices to investors holding the 2014 Warrants. If and to the extent a holder did not exercise its 2014 Warrants at the reduced exercise prices during this time period, the exercise prices of any unexercised 2014 Warrants remain at their original exercise prices of $0.35 and $0.50 per share for the series A and series B 2014 Warrants, respectively. In exchange for the reduction in the warrant exercise price, the investors holding a majority of the 2014 Warrants agreed to amend the 2014 Warrants to remove the price-based anti-dilution adjustment provisions contained in the 2014 Warrants. The removal of these provisions from the 2014 Warrants eliminated the provision that required liability classification of the 2014 Warrants and quarterly non-cash adjustments reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivative liability on the Company’s financial statements. Except for the temporarily reduced exercise prices and elimination of the anti-dilution adjustment provisions in the 2014 Warrants, the terms of the 2014 Warrants remain unchanged. As a result of the amendment in the 2014 Warrants terms, the 2014 Warrants no longer require liability classification after August 14, 2015. At the close of the offer period on August 14, 2015, investors exchanged and converted 27,856,294 shares underlying the 2014 Warrants at the 26% discount for total proceeds of $8,760,805 . The amendment of the 2014 Warrants to reduce the exercise price required the Company to treat the adjustment as an exchange whereby it computed the fair value of the 2014 Warrants immediately prior to the price reduction and the fair value of the 2014 Warrants after the price reduction. The $1,197,821 change in the fair value of the 2014 Warrants as a result of the price reduction was treated as a loss on exchange and recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 . As a result of the above transactions, the fair value of $5,348,408 on the 27,856,294 exercised 2014 Warrants and the fair value of $1,181,638 on the 7,930,456 remaining unexercised 2014 Warrants as of August 14, 2015 was moved to equity as of August 14, 2015. 2013 Activity: From August 15, 2013 through September 23, 2013, the Company issued five-year warrants to purchase 7,118,236 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share and five-year warrants to purchase 7,118,236 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements entered into in connection with a private placement of its shares (the "2013 Private Placement"). The Company determined that these warrants (the “2013 Warrants”) required classification as a liability due to certain registration rights in the agreements that required the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC for purposes of registering the resale of the shares underlying the 2013 Warrants. The Company determined that the fair value of these warrants on their issuance date was $2,344,899 . The Company originally filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-191743) with the SEC on October 16, 2013, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 8, 2013 for the registration of the resale of 174,732 shares underlying the 2013 Warrants. The Company subsequently filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-197482) related to the resale of the remaining shares underlying the 2013 Warrants on July 17, 2014, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 29, 2014. As a result of the registration, the 2013 Warrants no longer require liability classification and their fair value of $3,166,482 was reclassified to equity in July 2014. 2012 Activity: The Company determined that 110,000 warrant shares issued in its September 2012 public offering still require classification as a liability due to certain registration rights and listing requirements in the agreements. The fair value and outstanding derivative warrant liability related to these warrant shares as of September 30, 2015 was $10,780 . 2011 Activity: The Company determined that 13,554 warrant shares remaining from its May 2011 Stock Offering and 250 warrant shares issued in July 2011 for a customer list acquisition still require classification as a liability due to certain registration rights and listing requirements in the agreements. The fair value and outstanding derivative warrant liability related to these warrant shares as of September 30, 2015 was $0 . During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company recorded a gain of $115,904 and $2,250,344 , respectively, due to the change in the fair value of its warrant liability. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company recorded a loss of $2,139,540 and a gain of $5,625,555 , respectively, due to the change in the fair value of its warrant liability. The following table summarizes the Company's activity and fair value calculations of its derivative warrants for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015 : Linked Common Shares to Derivative Warrants Warrant Liability Balance, December 31, 2013 14,360,276 $ 1,832,945 Issuance of warrants to investors in 2014 Private Placement 35,786,750 12,382,216 Reclassification of fair value of 2013 Private Placement warrants to equity (14,236,472 ) (3,166,482 ) Change in fair value of derivatives — (7,845,214 ) Balance, December 31, 2014 35,910,554 $ 3,203,465 Exercise of warrants for common stock (27,856,294 ) (5,348,408 ) Loss on exchange of warrants — 1,197,821 Reclassification of fair value of 2014 Private Placement warrants to equity (7,930,456 ) (1,181,638 ) Change in fair value of derivatives — 2,139,540 Balance, September 30, 2015 123,804 $ 10,780 The Company's warrants were valued on the applicable dates using a Binomial Lattice Option Valuation Technique (“Binomial”). Significant inputs into this technique as of December 31, 2014 , August 14, 2015 and September 30, 2015 were as follows: Binomial Assumptions December 31, August 14, September 30, Fair market value of asset (1) $0.28 $0.42 $0.42 Exercise price $0.35-$1.25 $0.25-$0.50 $1.25 Term (2) 2.7 - 4.2 years 3.5 years 1.9 years Implied expected life (3) 2.7 - 4.2 years 3.5 years 1.9 years Volatility range of inputs (4) 42%--71% 41%--50% 95.72% Equivalent volatility (3) 48%--54% 47.00% 96.00% Risk-free interest rate range of inputs (5) 1.10%--1.38% 1.08% $0.01 Equivalent risk-free interest rate (3) 1.10%--1.38% 1.08% $0.01 (1) The fair market value of the asset was determined by using the Company's closing stock price as reflected in the over-the-counter market. (2) The term is the contractual remaining term, allocated among twelve equal intervals for purposes of calculating other inputs, such as volatility and risk-free rate. (3) The implied expected life, and equivalent volatility and risk-free interest rate amounts are derived from the binomial. (4) The Company does not have a market trading history upon which to base its forward-looking volatility. Accordingly, the Company selected peer companies that provided a reasonable basis upon which to calculate volatility for each of the intervals described in (2), above. (5) The risk-free rates used for inputs represent the yields on zero coupon U.S. Government Securities with periods to maturity consistent with the intervals described in (2), above.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]	COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is, however, subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may harm the Company's business. Other than as described below, the Company is currently not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that it believes would or could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its operations or financial position. On October 17, 2012, Blue Calypso, Inc. filed a complaint against the Company alleging that the Company infringes their patents related to peer-to-peer advertising between mobile communication devices. On July 19, 2013, Blue Calypso’s case against the Company was consolidated, along with other patent infringement cases against Groupon, Inc., Yelp, Inc. and Foursquare Labs, Inc., into Blue Calypso, Inc. v. Groupon et al for all pretrial purposes, including discovery and claim construction. On August 17, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Blue Calypso ending all outstanding litigation between the two companies. Under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay Blue Calypso a settlement amount of $390,506, representing a royalty fee of 4.125% of revenue from the Company's legacy platforms: SocialSpark, Sponsored Tweets, and WeReward. This royalty fee was assessed on those legacy platforms from their inception until the time they were all discontinued by the end of 2014. Blue Calypso has dismissed with prejudice all pending litigation against the Company and has granted the Company a worldwide covenant not to sue covering the IZEAx and Ebyline platforms or any reasonable iteration thereof. The Company developed the IZEAx and Ebyline platforms in a manner such that it believes they do not infringe Blue Calypso's current patents. The Company paid $200,000 upon execution of the agreement and is paying the balance in equal quarterly installments of $47,626.50 over 24 months beginning in November 2015. The Company recorded the entire amount of the settlement in general and administrative expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The remaining balance owed of $190,506 is recorded in accrued expenses as of September 30, 2015 .

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Authorized Shares The Company has 200,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share. On July 29, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an up to 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The reverse stock split was subsequently approved on August 6, 2015 by written consent of the holders of a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock in lieu of a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders. The Company has filed a notification of the reverse stock split with FINRA Operations, but to date the reverse split has not yet been effectuated. The Company anticipates filing a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada, with an effective date of the reverse stock split in the near future. As the reverse stock split has not occurred as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, no adjustment to share information is reflected in the financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Warrant Transactions Warrant Issuances: On January 22, 2015, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of its common stock to an investor relations consultant. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.51 per share and expires on January 22, 2020. The fair value of the warrant upon issuance was $7,700 and the Company received $100 as compensation for the warrant. The fair value of the warrant issuance was recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital in the Company's consolidated balance sheet and the net $7,600 compensation expense was recorded in general and administrative expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . On June 30, 2015, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of its common stock to an investor relations consultant. The warrant has an exercise price of $0.51 per share and expires on June 30, 2020. The fair value of the warrant upon issuance was $44,250 . The fair value of the warrant issuance was recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital in the Company's consolidated balance sheet and compensation expense in general and administrative expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . Warrant Exercises: From July 20, 2015 through August 14, 2015, the Company offered a 25% discount on the warrant exercise prices to investors holding the series A and series B warrants to purchase common stock issued in its August - September 2013 private placement (the “2013 Warrants”) and a 26% discount on the warrant exercise prices to investors holding series A and series B warrants to purchase common stock issued in its February 2014 private placement (the “2014 Warrants” and together with the 2013 Warrants, the "Warrants"). If and to the extent a holder did not exercise its Warrants at the reduced exercise prices during this time period, the exercise prices of any unexercised Warrants remain at their original exercise prices of $0.25 and $0.50 per share for the series A and series B 2013 Warrants, respectively, and $0.35 and $0.50 per share for the series A and series B 2014 Warrants, respectively. The warrant exercise offer was made pursuant to the terms of Warrant Amendment and Exercise Agreements, dated July 20, 2015, entered into with holders owning more than 70% of the Company's outstanding 2013 and 2014 Warrants. In exchange for the reduction in the warrant exercise price, the investors holding a majority of the 2014 Warrants agreed to amend the 2014 Warrants to remove the price-based anti-dilution adjustment provisions contained in the 2014 Warrants. The removal of these provisions from the 2014 Warrants eliminated the provision that required liability classification of the 2014 Warrants and quarterly non-cash adjustments reflecting changes in the fair value of the derivative liability on the Company’s financial statements. Except for the temporarily reduced exercise prices and elimination of the anti-dilution adjustment provisions in the 2014 Warrants, the terms of the 2013 Warrants and 2014 Warrants remain unchanged. As a result of the amendment in the 2014 Warrants terms, the 2014 Warrants no longer require liability classification after August 14, 2015 (See Note 4). At the close of the offer period on August 14, 2015, investors exchanged and converted 27,856,294 shares underlying the 2014 Warrants at the 26% discount for total proceeds of $8,760,805 and 15,974,508 shares of the 2013 Warrants at the 25% discount for total proceeds of $4,100,252 . This resulted in the issuance of a total of 43,830,802 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $0.293 per share for total proceeds of $12,861,057 less $3,972 in transaction costs. The exercise prices of any Warrants not exercised during the Warrant conversion offer period have reverted back to their original exercise prices. The amendment of the Warrants to reduce the exercise price required the Company to treat the adjustment as an exchange whereby it computed the fair value of the Warrants immediately prior to the price reduction and the fair value of the Warrants after the price reduction. The $1,197,821 and the $647,989 change in the fair value of the 2014 and 2013 Warrants, respectively, as a result of the price reduction, was treated as a $1,845,810 loss on exchange and recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 . As a result of the above transactions, the fair value of $5,348,408 on the 27,856,294 exercised 2014 Warrants and the fair value of $1,181,638 on the 7,930,456 remaining unexercised 2014 Warrants as of August 14, 2015 was moved to equity as of August 14, 2015. This reclassification plus the $647,989 loss on exchange of the 2013 Warrants already classified as equity reflects the $7,178,035 total change recorded in the Company's consolidated statement of stockholders' equity. The resale of the common stock underlying the 2013 and 2014 Warrants is covered by IZEA’s Registration Statements on Form S-1 (Registration Nos. 333-191743, 333-195081 and 333-197482), which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company has outstanding warrants to purchase a total of 10,461,863 shares of common stock outstanding with an average exercise price of $0.46 per share. Stock Options In May 2011, the Board of Directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan of IZEA, Inc. (the “May 2011 Plan”). The May 2011 Plan allows the Company to grant options to purchase up to 20,000,000 shares as an incentive for its employees and consultants. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company had 5,207,283 shares of common stock available for future grants under the May 2011 Plan. On August 22, 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 B Equity Incentive Plan (the “August 2011 Plan”) reserving for issuance an aggregate of 87,500 shares of common stock under the August 2011 Plan. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company had no shares of common stock available for future grants under the August 2011 Plan. Under both the May 2011 Plan and the August 2011 Plan (together, the "2011 Equity Incentive Plans"), the Board of Directors determines the exercise price to be paid for the shares, the period within which each option may be exercised, and the terms and conditions of each option. The exercise price of the incentive and non-qualified stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. If an individual owns stock representing more than 10% of the outstanding shares, the price of each share of an incentive stock option must be equal to or exceed 110% of fair market value. Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors at the time of grant, the right to purchase shares covered by any options under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plans typically vest over the requisite service period as follows: 25% of options shall vest one year from the date of grant and the remaining options shall vest monthly, in equal increments over the following three years . The term of the options is up to ten years . The Company issues new shares to the optionee for any stock awards or options exercised pursuant to its equity incentive plans. A summary of option activity under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plans for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is presented below: Options Outstanding Common Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Weighted Average Remaining Life (Years) Outstanding at December 31, 2013 7,750,478 $ 0.51 8.1 Granted 4,358,831 $ 0.38 Exercised (1,250 ) $ 0.24 Forfeited (194,285 ) $ 0.85 Outstanding at December 31, 2014 11,913,774 $ 0.46 6.5 Granted 3,751,022 $ 0.36 Exercised — $ — Forfeited (787,063 ) $ 0.35 Outstanding at September 30, 2015 14,877,733 $ 0.44 6.7 Exercisable at September 30, 2015 6,614,375 $ 0.53 6.3 During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , no options were exercised. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 , options were exercised into 1,250 shares of common stock for cash proceeds of $300 . The intrinsic value of these options was $295 . There is no aggregate intrinsic value on the outstanding or exercisable options as of September 30, 2015 since the weighted average exercise price per share exceeded the fair value of $0.42 on such date. A summary of the nonvested stock option activity under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plans for the year ended December 31, 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is presented below: Nonvested Options Common Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Weighted Average Remaining Years to Vest Nonvested at December 31, 2013 5,809,363 $ 0.24 3.3 Granted 4,358,831 0.38 Vested (2,566,848 ) 0.23 Forfeited (159,508 ) 0.21 Nonvested at December 31, 2014 7,441,838 $ 0.20 3.0 Granted 3,751,022 0.19 Vested (2,164,147 ) 0.22 Forfeited (765,355 ) 0.17 Nonvested at September 30, 2015 8,263,358 $ 0.19 2.8 Stock-based compensation cost related to stock options granted under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plans is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions stated in Note 1. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized on awards outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $188,458 and $142,252 , respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense recognized on awards outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $511,202 and $389,002 , respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded as a general and administrative expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Future compensation related to nonvested awards expected to vest of $1,400,936 is estimated to be recognized over the weighted-average vesting period of approximately three years . Employee Stock Purchase Plan On April 16, 2014, stockholders holding a majority of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock, upon previous recommendation and approval of the Board of Directors, adopted the IZEA, Inc. 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and reserved 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance thereunder. Any employee regularly employed by our company for 90 days or more on a full-time or part-time basis ( 20 hours or more per week on a regular schedule) is eligible to participate in the ESPP. The ESPP operates in successive six month offering periods commencing at the beginning of each fiscal year half. Each eligible employee who has elected to participate may purchase up to 10% of their annual compensation in common stock not to exceed $21,250 annually or 20,000 shares per offering period. The purchase price will be the lower of (i) 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or (ii) 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the last trading day of the offering period. The ESPP will continue until January 1, 2024, unless otherwise terminated by the Board. As of September 30, 2015 , employees paid $29,765 to purchase 125,046 shares at the end of the offering periods. As of September 30, 2015 , the Company had 1,367,351 remaining shares of common stock available for future grants under the ESPP.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive securities that could be exercised or converted into common shares during each period presented less the amount of shares that could be repurchased using the proceeds from the exercises.

Summary of Significant Accoun15

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IZEA, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, IZEA Innovations, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ebyline, Inc. (together, the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with IZEA considered the accounting acquirer of Ebyline. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the underlying Ebyline tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair market values with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that are preliminary, based on work performed to date. IZEA anticipates that all the information needed to identify and measure values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be obtained and finalized during the one -year measurement period following the acquisition date. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur, and these differences could have a material impact on the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. Uncollectibility of accounts receivable is not significant since most customers are bound by contract and are required to fund the Company for all the costs of an “opportunity,” defined as an order created by an advertiser for a creator to write about the advertiser’s product. If a portion of the account balance is deemed uncollectible, the Company will either write-off the amount owed or provide a reserve based on the uncollectible portion of the account. Management determines the collectibility of accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. The Company has a reserve of $31,000 for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2015 . The Company did not have a reserve for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2014 . Management believes that this estimate is reasonable, but there can be no assurance that the estimate will not change as a result of a change in economic conditions or business conditions within the industry, the individual customers or the Company. Any adjustments to this account are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as a general and administrative expense. Bad debt expense was less than 1% of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 .
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are typically limited because a large number of geographically diverse customers make up the Company’s customer base, thus spreading the trade credit risk. The Company also controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable. At September 30, 2015 , the Company had one customer which accounted for 12% of total accounts receivable in the aggregate. At December 31, 2014 , the Company had two customers which accounted for 29% of total accounts receivable in the aggregate. The Company had one customer that accounted for 14% of its revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and no customers that accounted for more than 10% of its revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2014 . The Company had one customer that accounted for 14% of its revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and one customer that accounted for 10% of its revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 .
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property and Equipment Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Computer Equipment 3 years Software Costs 3 years Office Equipment 3 - 10 years Furniture and Fixtures 5 - 10 years Leasehold Improvements 5 years Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, related costs and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed and any gain or loss is recognized in net income or loss. Depreciation expense recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $53,337 and $24,903 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Depreciation expense recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $149,873 and $65,683 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.
Software Development Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Software Development Costs In accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal Use Software and ASC 985-730, Computer Software Research and Development , research phase costs related to internal use software should be expensed as incurred and development phase costs including direct materials and services, payroll and benefits and interest costs may be capitalized. The Company amortizes software development costs equally over 5 years upon initial launch of the software. Amortization expense is expected to be approximately $ 117,000 in 2015 and for the next three years and then $33,000 thereafter. Amortization expense on software development costs recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $28,966 and $47,406 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Amortization expense on software development costs recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations was $85,854 and $94,812 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.
Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Intangible Assets The Company acquired intangible assets through its acquisition of Ebyline on January 30, 2015. The Company is amortizing the identifiable intangible assets over a period of 12 to 60 months.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and intangible assets. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other , goodwill resulting from business combinations is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently, if certain indicators are present. In the event that management determines that the value of goodwill has become impaired, the Company will record a charge for the amount of impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition The Company derives its revenue from three sources: revenue from an advertiser when it pays for a social media publisher or influencer such as a blogger or tweeter ("creators") to share sponsored content with their social network audience ("Sponsored Revenue"), revenue when a publisher or company purchases custom branded content for use on its owned and operated sites, as well as third party content marketing and native advertising efforts ("Content Revenue") and revenue derived from various service and license fees charged to users of our platforms ("Service Fee Revenue"). Sponsored revenue is recognized and considered earned after an advertiser's sponsored content is posted through IZEAx and shared through a creator's social network for a requisite period of time. The requisite period ranges from 3 days for a tweet to 30 days for a blog, video or other form of content. Management fees related to Sponsored Revenue from advertising campaigns managed by the Company are recognized ratably over the term of the campaign which may range from a few days to months. Content Revenue is recognized when the content is delivered to and accepted by the customer. Service fees charged to customers are primarily related to subscription fees for different levels of service within a platform, licensing fees for white-label use of IZEAx , early cash-out fees if a creator wishes to take proceeds earned for services from their account when the account balance is below certain minimum balance thresholds and inactivity fees for dormant accounts. Service fees are recognized immediately when the service is performed or at the time an account becomes dormant or is cashed out. Self-service advertisers must prepay for services by placing a deposit in their account with the Company. The deposits are typically paid by the advertiser via credit card. Advertisers who use the Company to manage their social advertising campaigns or content requests may prepay for services or request credit terms. Payments received or billings in advance of services are recorded as unearned revenue until earned as described above. All of the Company's revenue is generated through the rendering of services and is recognized under the general guidelines of SAB Topic 13 A.1 which states that revenue will be recognized when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers its revenue as generally realized or realizable and earned once (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) services have been rendered, (iii) the price to the advertiser or customer is fixed (required to be paid at a set amount that is not subject to refund or adjustment) and determinable, and (iv) collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company records revenue on the gross amount earned since it generally is the primary obligor in the arrangement, it takes on credit risk, it establishes the pricing and determines the service specifications.
Advertising Cost, Policy, Expensed Advertising Cost [Policy Text Block]	Advertising Costs Advertising costs are charged to expense as they are incurred, including payments to contact creators to promote the Company. Advertising expense charged to operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $199,000 and $347,000 , respectively. Advertising expense charged to operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $411,000 and $635,000 , respectively. Advertising costs are included in sales and marketing expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Deferred Rent The Company’s operating leases for its office facilities contain rent abatements and predetermined fixed increases of the base rental rate during the lease term. The Company accounts for rental expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company records the difference between the straight-line expense versus the actual amounts paid under the lease as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes The Company has not recorded federal income tax expense due to the generation of net operating losses. Deferred income taxes are accounted for using the balance sheet approach which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company incurs minimal state franchise taxes in two states which is included in general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations. The Company identifies and evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, and recognizes the impact of uncertain tax positions for which there is a less than more-likely-than-not probability of the position being upheld when reviewed by the relevant taxing authority. Such positions are deemed to be unrecognized tax benefits and a corresponding liability is established on the balance sheet. The Company has not recognized a liability for uncertain tax positions. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company’s tax years, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally remain open for three years from the date of filing.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Derivative Financial Instruments Derivative financial instruments are defined as financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying factor (e.g., interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets. The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), which requires additional disclosures about the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, how the derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and how the derivative instruments and related hedging items affect the financial statements. The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. Terms of convertible debt and equity instruments are reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required under ASC 815 to be accounted for separately from the host contract, and recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of derivative liabilities, if any, is required to be revalued at each reporting date, with corresponding changes in fair value recorded in current period operating results. Pursuant to ASC 815, an evaluation of specifically identified conditions is made to determine whether the fair value of warrants issued is required to be classified as equity or as a derivative liability.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The valuation techniques are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect certain market assumptions. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: • Level 1 – Valuation based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. • Level 2 – Valuation based on quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. • Level 3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring management’s best estimate of what market participants would use as fair value. Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The Company does not have any Level 1 or 2 financial assets or liabilities. The Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities measured at fair value consisted of a warrant liability (see Note 4) and its acquisition cost liability (see Note 2) as of September 30, 2015 . Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the warrants include the estimated term and risk-adjusted interest rates. In developing our credit risk assumption used in the fair value of warrants, consideration was made of publicly available bond rates and US Treasury Yields. However, since the Company does not have a formal credit-standing, management estimated its standing among various reported levels and grades for use in the model. During all periods, management estimated that the Company's standing was in the speculative to high-risk grades (BB- to CCC in the Standard and Poor's Rating). Significant increases or decreases in the estimated remaining period to exercise or the risk-adjusted interest rate could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, unearned revenue and accrued expenses. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s capital lease obligations approximate their carrying value based upon current rates available to the Company.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation cost related to stock options granted under the May 2011 Equity Incentive Plan and August 2011 B Equity Incentive Plan (together, the "2011 Equity Incentive Plans") (see Note 6) is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The Company estimates the fair value of its common stock using the closing stock price of its common stock as quoted in the OTCQB marketplace on the date of the option award. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of grant based on the volatility of comparable peer companies that are publicly traded and have had a longer trading history than itself. The Company determines the expected life based on historical experience with similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and post-vesting forfeitures. The Company uses the risk-free interest rate on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term approximately equal to the expected life of the award. The Company has never paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company used the following assumptions for options granted under the 2011 Equity Incentive Plans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 : Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2011 Equity Incentive Plans Assumptions September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, Expected term 6 years 5 years 6 years 5 years Weighted average volatility 53.81% 40.37% 56.62% 40.83% Weighted average risk free interest rate 1.78% 1.75% 1.58% 1.71% Expected dividends — — — — The Company estimates forfeitures when recognizing compensation expense and this estimate of forfeitures is adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures are recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment, which is recognized in the period of change, and a revised amount of unamortized compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. Average expected forfeiture rates were 15.37% and 3.79% during the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Average expected forfeiture rates were 12.37% and 7.29% during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.
Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation [Policy Text Block]	Non-Employee Stock-Based Compensation The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of ASC 505, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.” The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. The fair value of equity instruments issued to consultants that vest immediately is expensed when issued. The fair value of equity instruments issued to consultants that have future vesting and are subject to forfeiture if performance does not occur is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Fair values for the unvested portion of issued instruments are adjusted each reporting period. The change in fair value is recorded to additional paid-in capital. Stock-based compensation related to non-employees is accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or the fair value of the services, whichever is more readily determinable.
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Segment Information The Company does not identify separate operating segments for management reporting purposes. The results of consolidated operations are the basis on which management evaluates operations and makes business decisions.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Reclassifications Certain items have been reclassified in the 2014 financial statements to conform to the 2015 presentation. The Company has reclassified wages and other expenses related to its sales and marketing personnel out of general and administrative expense and into sales and marketing expense.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recent Accounting Pronouncements There are new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") which are not yet effective. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position or operating results. In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2017.

[1]	The fair value of the $5,500,000 of contingent performance payments described above was calculated using a Monte-Carlo simulation to simulate revenue over the next three years. Since the contingent consideration has an option like structure, a risk-neutral framework is considered appropriate for the valuation. The Company started with a risk-adjusted measure of forecasted revenue (using a risk-adjusted discount rate of 8.5%) and assumed it will follow geometric brownian motion to simulate the revenue at future dates. Once the initial revenue was estimated based off of projections made during the acquisition, payout was calculated for each year and present valued to incorporate the credit risk associated with these payments. The Company's initial value conclusion was based on the average payment from 100,000 simulation trials. The volatility used for the simulation was 35%. The Monte Carlo simulation resulted in a calculated fair value of contingent performance payments of $2,210,000 on January 30, 2015.
