I love blogging. I really do. I get to share my thoughts with you and get some great responses in return. The thing is, blogging doesn't pay, normally. Sure I could accept payments to review products, but that's not my style. I prefer to give you my independent opinion, good, bad or in between, and not feel beholden to anyone in the process. I have, in the past reviewed products that have been sent to me as gifts and given you my opinions on those. In fact, I've reviewed things I've bought myself just to share my experiences with you. And at the bottom of every such post I make sure to let you all know exactly what's going on. This post is doing the same thing.
I've decided to try to make a little bit of money off my blog. In the next few days, for example, you'll see that I'll have a blog sponsor for the next 6 months. In addition, I've created affiliate links with a few companies. When I give you "The Details" in my outfit posts, I'll also be linking to similar or the same items that you can click through to and purchase. If you chose to do so, I will get a small commission on these sales in return. Linked items labeled as “similar” are as close as possible to what I’m actually wearing. If whatever I have on is still available for sale, I will always link directly to it, even if I can’t create an affiliate link that will earn me income. I also have ads in the column to the right that will earn money for the blog with each impression or click through.
I hope that you know that I'm not selling out or trying to push purchases on you. I'll still be the same chick figuring out how to get from law school to be a lawyer and sharing my journey with you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask by email or in the comments. It is my goal to always be open with you.
