Disclosure, Paid Posts, Reviews, Consulting and Giveaways
To be completely transparent and upfront, I accept paid reviews and do paid posts for PR firms, companies, and individuals. I’ll happily accept free products and services that are considered earth friendly and that my “green” readers would love to hear about. I am a Shaklee Distributor, I sell Safe Solutions™ products and I’m an active Zonta club member, if this is a conflict with your company or you, please do not contact me.
If you want to know what other green moms, like me, might think of your product, website, organization or company I do offer paid consulting per job or hour.
Why Green & Clean Mom do you do this?
1) I believe my time is valuable and I work hard to promote my blog and write for moms who are trying to be some shade of green. I believe I should be compensated for my time and hard work.
2) Green & Clean Mom is my blog and if I want to do paid posts, reviews and accept free products I can, so long as I tell you about it and fully disclose this. If you’d rather not read my blog because of this, that makes me sad but I’ll get over it.
3) Working from home with two kids and affording organic milk is expensive and our economy sucks so extra money helps. Paid posts and reviews equal money.
4) Magazines and other forms of media are paid for their services so why shouldn’t I be?
Paid Posting and Reviews Policy for Green & Clean Mom:
1) All paid posts and reviews will be labeled as a sponsored review or post. My readers must know that I was compensated. If you do not like this, please don’t contact me I won’t negotiate this.
2) If you send me a product and I agreed to review it, I will also say it was a sponsored review or post.
3) If you send me a free product and there was no agreement for a review and I decide to mention your product or review it, I will link to you and thank you for sending me the product. I make no guarantees!
4) If you email me and I give you my address for a product this does not mean I will review your product.
5) I do not return any products I receive.
6) If I do not feel your product, company, organization or group is honest, eco-savvy or friendly and something my green mom readers would like to know about, I reserve the right to not accept your product and will not do a review or post on my site. Sorry Clorox.
7) A paid post or review does not mean I will sprinkle kind words into the blogosphere. Oh, no…I will give my honest opinion because my readers trust that I will do this. If you want me to lie, please don’t contact me.
8) Payments must be received and are non-refundable. Payments mean you agree to the above policy.
Thank you to, The Write Spot who inspired me to do this. You rock!
Why would you want to hire Green and Clean Mom?
I have a green nitch of moms that read my blog regularly with more than 260 subscribers and climbing. A nitch of moms that trust me and that I value. I am particular with my reviews, giveaways and posts. I am continually promoting my blog, participating in online social forums (over 6) and blogs, all of which promotes your company, product, organization or service. Word of mouth advertising is powerful and regardless of how many people read my blog there is a nitch and if 5 readers tell 5 readers that tell 5 more readers the one post I write becomes very, very powerful. Oh, and it stays in the search engines and is continually read so that is another big plus. I have a degree in education and I’m a certified teacher, two classes shy of my masters (blogging came up).
I have over 277 average daily visits and some days this number is higher than 500!
Over 2850 daily page views per weeks, on average.
My google ranking is: 3 but this goes UP and down for some odd reason and my blog is less than one year old! Not too shabby and this is with blogger and not SEO coding or help!
Alexia Ranking is: 19711,15663,594
Other sites that link to this site: 80,298
If you decide to hire me I will send you an invoice via pay pal and guarantee you a minimum of one 200 word post within 7 business days, unless otherwise determined, after the non-refundable payment has been received. Email me at sommer at greenandcleanmom dot org for information on my rates. All posts and reviews have inbound text links to your site.
If you would rather not pay me but want to send me a product that you “think” I will write about feel free to email. I, however, will not guarantee I will post or review your product and I am not obligated to do so. If you're a PR firm and you're sending me a press release please note you might want to consider hiring me for a post to generate more buzz for your client.
Want me to do a giveaway? Please contact me via email. I love giving stuff to my readers! They deserve it. I, however, will need to try it out myself...unless I've already researched it. I actively promote my contests.
I am not accepting banner or button ads right now because I am with blogger but this will change when I move to wordpress. Want to sponsor my big move to wordpress and my updated site? Contact me via email.
