I have thought long and hard about whether or not to do this. It is actually a pretty big decision. A lot of people start out blogging as a hobby or a release and then offers come in and it becomes this huge deal. Then there are people who accept all this money and sponsorship and their blog becomes one giant commercial. Where every post is not about them or the things they like but the things they are paid to say they like. You lose their voice and instead find yourself bored and turned off. I feel that way about some of the blogs I read and I want to stress that will never be me. There are also those people who donate the money from ads (which is something I will most likely do in the future) or people who are absolutely against it. I'm of the pro-choice attitude where in this case "choice" is the equivalent to "do-whatever-you-like-I-won't-judge-much" attitude.
If you skate on over to the new sponsorship page there is your usual mumbo jumbo stating how I will present anything sent to me in a post, that I'm only going to pick items I like, giveaways and sponsor posts will only be available to those who purchase "Large" Ads and that I have rule over everything. I mean, I'm really putting my foot down.
"I'm pleased to be able to offer sponsorship through my blog. All profit from ad sales will be directly cycled back into the website. Sales from ads will allow me to do things such as purchase more make up, a better camera (no more horrible cellphone pictures right?), things for giveaways, ad's from other websites, ect. As the website grows so do the possibilities..."
To kick things off I am offering a contest that will start today, Oct 2nd and run through Oct 9th. I will be giving away 5 ad spaces!
