Money, Links, Advertising and Giveaways

Hi all, this is the page to address some of the business questions related to food blogging.

Let’s get right to the list.

Adding links to your content: This seems to be a biggie right now. NO. It won’t happen. Please don’t ask. If you need to ask, it is an “unnatural link” and you are probable spammy any ways.

Sponsored Posts:
I do not do sponsored posts since I don’t want to. This is about helping people learn to cook, not sell your product, so no sponsored posts.

Samples:
Send samples if you wish but since I don’t publish my address, you will need to contact me first. Also, do not expect your product to appear on the blog since it probably will not.

Giveaways:
If you want to do a giveaway with a nice product I like with a value over $80, we can talk.

If I’m not familiar with or use the product, I will need a duplicate to evaluate to do the write-up. If I don’t like the product, I will not do the giveaway. If I use the product already, I’m good and don’t need the freebie.

For this, you get front page exposure on my blog during the giveaway and a short write-up. I will choose the winner by a random method. You will be responsible for the shipping of the product to the winner.

I currently have 1.4 million plus page views per month. So this is cheaper than normal ad rates. At this time, this is still free although many bloggers are starting to charge.

Direct advertising. No thanks. All ads are by my ad network.

Ad Networks; I’m well set for now (1/2018). I will just trash your email since I get 3-4 inquiries per day. I tried responding politely but it is getting to be too much, and some of you take that as encouragement.

Guest Bloggers: I do not have guest bloggers. It’s my hobby, get your own toy.

Exchange Links: I will not exchange links. The links I provide are ones I use. Post some comments and I may check your blog out.
