Okay, so be prepared for a huge post
today. I have so much to tell you and as I am writing this I have absolutely no
idea if anyone is even going to read it!
So, let's start with advertising. I
have started offering advertising on this blog, you can find it under a tab on
top of the page. Rates are from 5-25$, but I am totally open to exchanging blog
buttons & guest posts as well, so do let me know if you'd like to do that.
Besides advertising, I've also gotten a
few other opportunities with this blog. Sometimes I earn a bit of money – this is
really not a huge amount, it's usually less than 40$ per month. This happens
with guest posts, sponsored reviews, etc. I know this is a touchy subject, but
I will be very open about it. So, I could easily spend those 40$ every month on
skincare, makeup, clothes and other stuff. But as I look around myself, I just
have so much STUFF. It's enough to last a lifetime! So basically I have decided
to allocate 40$ (or equivalent to 30€) from the money I make blogging each month for ... GIVEAWAYS!
There will not be one huge giveaway,
because I have bad experience with that. Instead, there will be a giveaway
every week, where I will be giving away one of my favorite products – primer,
blusher, lipstick ... I will also contact some sponsors to see if they are
interested in joining, because there will surely be some months where I do not
get any money for blogging, and I want to have a giveaway for you every week.
The giveaways will start on March 16th
and go on until the end of July. As I explained – if I have enough funds or
sponsors, there will definitely be a giveaway every week. If not, I will skip a
week or so and post another giveaway when I earn a bit of money.
I also wanted to mention that these
giveaways will be both international and Slovenian, depending on the type of
product – for example, I cannot send a nail polish overseas, so that will only
have to be local. But loads of other products will be up for grabs!
Okay, what exactly will you be winning?
A fellow blogger, Becka (http://www.beckasbeautyblog.com/) has this
really cool project called 'Have you discovered ...' It involves one post per
week where you talk about your favorite products, like concealer, foundation,
eye shadow ... I will be joining in on this project & the giveaways will be
of my favorite items! For example (spoilers!) we will have a Maybelline Color
Tattoo Eyeshadow, an Essie nail polish, MAC highlighter ... So lots of things
you might like. Here is the schedule of the posts & giveaways.

Whew, so that's a lot
of stuff! Enter as many or as little as you want, and you can win some of my
favorite products.
Just one more thing –
this whole project depends on the funds I receive for blogging. Advertising is
included, so when you purchase an advertising package, you're basically
supplying the money for the giveaway! How nice is that? And I would also like
to ask you to refrain from negative comments on sponsored posts (I rarely get
them, which I'm incredibly grateful for), because all of this comes back to
you, my readers.
Lastly, I want to
thank each and every one of you. You've made my life amazing and so much
better, and I love you all. Let the games begin!
that is so generous of you! I think your readers will appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely - I hope so x
DeleteYay congratulations!! This is such a big deal! xx
ReplyDeleteEeek thank you Melissa! <3
DeleteDržim pesti za čim več sponzorjev in oglaševalcev!
ReplyDeletePri nas gredo tudi vsi prihodki v vzdrževanje in giveawaye ... pa še vedno konkretno vsoto primaknem iz svojega žepa. :))))))
Hvala hvala hvala! <3 Verjamem, da jo bom tudi jaz. :)
DeleteThe giveaways are such a nice idea! I've been meaning to do a giveaway for a while and I'm not sure whether to bundle everything together in one big giveaway or spread it out into smaller ones. I do like the idea of the smaller giveaways because it gives a chance for more people to win something!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely do a few more rather than a big one! :) x
DeleteSuch a generous idea, too kind!

A fabulous idea my friend. I have to get a pretty button made so I can advertise on your site for awhile ;)
ReplyDeleteI love it when bloggers are open about their actions and whatnot, thank you for the clarity! And how generous of you too! <3
