My Single Mom Life

There will be new ads here at some point this week.
These will be much different than the blog ads or the text ads in the sidebar.
These will be called advertorials so I'm assuming from that description that these will be posts of some kind.
I know people hate ads on blogs. They think the blogger has sold out.
Whatever I say.
I need that money that they are offering and if it helps me pay some of my bills, then I'm taking it.
They will be in their own category and you are free to pass over them just as you would anything that I write. Click the x, browse away from the page etc.
I don't know why people get so up in arms over blog ads. It helps pay for hosting and a slew of other bills in my case.
I've asked for help a few times and people have always helped me. I've seen other blogers ask for help and people send it. I've seen bloggers ask for donations to buy cars, ipods and a whole slew of other things. Think of this as help but without having to donate it yourself.
These will hopefully pay more than the current text ads I have on here if they are going to be actual posts.
If it's less money, I may say no, that for taking up a full post, I should be compensated better but if it pays what I hope it does, then fine, I'll post them.
I think advertising is ok on blogs. It helps pay for hosting for most people who have them.
With the money from my current ads, I am able to pay hosting and my monthly ISP bill. If these new ads pay what I hope they will, I can pay for my hosting, my ISP and probably a little extra on the water, elec and phone bill every month. How can I say no to that?
I can't.
I'm not getting rich making jewelery and I'm not getting paid in cash from amazon. I get gift certs from them so I can buy presents for the boys at birthdays and xmas. Some of the ads I have on here are for friends sites or my own groups that I belong to.
If and when Leslie gets her soap shop back up and running, I am going to post a link to her shop because her soaps are simply wonderful and I think if you like home made soaps, you should buy from her. I love her Jasmine/grapefruit soap and her pain cream is great too. I hear she makes bath bombs and at some point, I'm gonna get a few of those to try out.
I believe that if you have a blogging friend with a product you love, you should link to it or advertise it if you have that ability.
I try to spread it around.
I link to peoples ebay shops etc.
Ads are good. They help people. Not just the company that has the ad but the person running the ad who may need the money which I do.
Long rant huh?
Well I felt like I had to explain myself because I don't want any hate mail for having these upcoming ads on here which I know I'll get anyway.
I haven't sold out. I only endorse products that I believe in and those are ads I have placed or links to people that are trying to make some money on ebay. But when a company offers me a nice chunk of change to run an ad and I need that money, you can bet your ass I'm gonna take it.
And that's not selling out. That's smart.
