Disclosure Policy - (Ads and Pay per Posts)
This blog accepts advertising as well as pay for posts. This is a personal blog written solely by Marianne Case. For information please contact marianne DOT case AT comcast DOT net.
Although I accept advertisements and may write posts that are sponsored by a company, I will not compromise my beliefs and post about anything that does not seem to be a valid, legitimate, safe, and ok, thing. I pledge to thoroughly check out any advertisers and not spam my readers with crap or morally bad stuff. I am not going to post about Payday loans or fly by night Rx drugs or anything cheesy like that. I am going to scout through the pay per post lists and find legitimate companies that want to get the word out about their services by paying bloggers a small sum to link to their sites and write about them. By disclosing the information I hope to avoid any conflict of interest and be able to maintain my good name and reputation.
I do also have my own financial interests linked on this blog - the Sci Fi Jungle Blog and Sci Fi Jungle T-Shirt and Gift Shop on CafePress. Thank you for your support!
I am a member of the Creative Team for Kim Hill of CG Essentials. I make scrapbook layouts using Kim's wonderful designs, and she gives me stuff for free. How cool is that? I also take any opportunity I can get to promote Kim's work on Forums such as Digi Shop Talk.
Why have I monetized my blog? My blog has been costing me typepad fees for a while now, and I feel like it is time it gave me something back. While I do not want the blog to look like the Vegas strip, I am hoping that I can balance on the fine line between Legitimate Commerce and Tackiness. I consider myself an Internet advertising copywriter.
I also have a Day Job. I work for a fantastic company. I am an email administrator specializing in all types of collaborative computing. I don't talk about my work here, though, so lets leave them out of it if you don't mind. I don't want anyone Googling that place and finding this blog since this blog has nothing to do with what I do there. Ok? Thanks. Did I mention I love my job?
