Free Samples, Giveways & Coupons

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. I most commonly do product reviews and giveaways. I always do a review with my giveaway. If you want me to host just a giveaway, this will be considered an advertisement and there will be an advertising fee.

Also, if there are any freebies that I didn't post or missed, I'm always happy to have an email letting me know so I can get it posted. I'm always happy to link back to you in my post!

Link exchanges are also welcome. Add my link to your page and i'll add yours under my supported sites page!

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. If you like my site, then please feel free to email me! I accept paypal as payment and I post your advertisement within 24 hours of a cleared payment.

If you're looking to have me do a product review, just email me with the product (or send your web link if you want me to choose what I'd like to review) and then mail me the product. I'll add a link to your site permanently under my sponsors section and your blog posting will also be permanent and you can use it as you wish. You're giving me a product in exchange for spreading good advertisement about you.

All my posts are fed through email newsletter, myspace, facebook and twitter! So that helps expand the exposure to your business.

Q. If you were a customer, what do you wish you knew about your trade? Any inside secrets to share?

A. There's really no inside secrets to share. Except maybe don't over load your readers with spam and affiliate links. I use affiliate links, a lot, but I put them in between non-affiliate linked posts as well. I don't want my site to turn into a spam site and I loose my readers. Most people understand having ads though and making a few dollars and usually don't mind, just don't bombard them with it.

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. Everything is pretty straight forward and explained. If you like what you see, then let's work together! Also, if you're interested in more than one advertising option, I am always willing to negotiate prices, throw a (reasonable) price at me with what you're looking for and we can negotiate and work things out from there.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. I am a real person, not an automated bot on the computer making posts. Posts will vary from the time they're posted to what the subject matter is on the post (keeping it free, coupons, deals or a paid advertisement).

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. It's fun! I don't get paid for what I do with the exception of affiliate links or sponsors, but I still enjoying having new readers and sharing my finds with others of similar interests. I especially love reviewing new products, sharing my opinions and spreading the word about my wonderful experience I had with the company I worked with.

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Generally I get asked how to enter the giveaways. When you go on the website, on the right column you will see a section called "giveaways". Click the link to the giveaway posting which you're interested in (enter them all if you'd like!) and read the review. At the end of the review is the giveaway section. In that section it tells you the mandatory entry then it tells you other ways you can earn entries once the mandatory entry is complete. Generally you just have to follow my site on google friend connect then visit the sponsor.

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. I really don't have any favorite stories to share at this time. Every event is different. Whether its a new post or new review, it's different. I don't have a favorite though as of yet. Although it does make me feel really good when a post I make helps someone or makes their day. It's always nice to know I've effected someone in a good way.

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. That I am a real person and postings really do take a lot of time. They are very simple to do, sometimes a bit of work, but still time consuming. I wish I could have everything done with the snap of my fingers but unfortunately I can't so I just ask to please be patient when emailing me. I do respond rather quickly, but in the event I don't please remember I do work and have a family outside of this blogging world.

Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. I'm proud of all my reviews I do. I enjoy doing them, especially if it's a really nice product. If it's a friendly company, friendly service, quick shipping and a great product, there is definitely a great review ahead!

Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?

A. Not at this time. I keep up with other blogs and web sites of similar interest to try and keep up since that's what my field is about, blogging. I try to use other ideas and make them into my own sort of thing and just keep up to date in that fashion.

Q. What are the latest developments in your field? Are there any exciting things coming in the next few years or decade that will change your line of business?

A. As of right now the only thing that seems to change is that I work with more companies as far as product reviews go and the look of my site improves as an idea comes along.

Q. If you were advising someone who wanted to get into your profession, what would you suggest?

A. Don't expect to start off big. Start off simple and work your way around. Follow many other sites similar to the area you are looking to create and pick and choose ideas to eventually make something unique to you.

Q. Write your own question and answer it.

A. What is your Hobbies & Interests?

I enjoy scrapbooking, photography, traveling, ANYTHING Twilight & shopping, but the #1 thing I enjoy are doing these giveaways & product reviews along with the freebies in my blog! You could say it's become a hobby of mine! I've been addicted to the computer & internet since I was in grade school so I guess I found the perfect thing for my free time!

Q. Write your own question and answer it.

A. Are you PR friendly (product reviews)?
