Blog Advertizing

This entry was posted on May 29, 2008

I received an email today from someone called Elmer, offering me blog sponsorship. I’m all for being paid to do something I love, but being sponsored to blog? That’s not something I’d be interested in, to be honest. I can’t help but feel it would give off the wrong “vibe” to my blog.

When I see sponsored blog posts on other blogs, I feel like the sponsorship affects the way the blogger writes; it has an influence on them, and that’s not an influence I like seeing. I want to read 100% honest blog posts, not an opinion that can be swayed by something so trivial as money.

So, whilst it was nice to hear from you, Elmer, I’m afraid I’m going to have to refuse your offer, and not just because your website is weird and you can’t spell “advertising”. The same goes for anyone else who wants to sponsor me to blog. Feel free to give me money (I wouldn’t say no to that!) but don’t try and “sponsor” me to say what you want me to say.
