I am in a constant struggle with money and literally cannot afford to turn down sponsored posts. I don't get many offers but when I do I will always say yes if the money is right, I just see it as a 'blogger perk'. Nine times out of ten the money actually goes back into my blog because I will buy something to blog about! x<br /><br /><a href="http://asliceofmylifewales.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Leanne - A Slice of My Life</a>Leanne Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00545285544079995566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383632655567727486.post-22135234189922884332013-10-29T15:28:24.098+00:002013-10-29T15:28:24.098+00:00If someone waves £100 infront of my nose, I'd ...If someone waves £100 infront of my nose, I'd probably post about dog biscuits.

It's your blog you can do with it what you want, I wish bloggers would embrace all bloggers whatever they write and whatever the reasons for starting their blog.. maybe it's jealousy?Mellissa Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14774290943178155079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383632655567727486.post-17744412956778140582013-10-27T17:33:48.635+00:002013-10-27T17:33:48.635+00:00HERE HERE.

I have featured a few sponsored posts recently for pretty much the same reason, I'm off to NYC next month and I want to save as much money for the trip as possible.<br />tbh if a post is clearly sponsored I don't normally read them and choose to comment on other posts on the same blog instead, but I know this and also know that people probs don't read mine!<br /><br />Who cares if you post once sponsored post about cat food or nappies or whatever, just go past it!!<br /><br />xEloisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763488432988687413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383632655567727486.post-89014960869344292022013-10-27T15:04:26.550+00:002013-10-27T15:04:26.550+00:00I completely agree with you here - it's your b...I completely agree with you here - it's your blog and you can write whatever the f*** you like! If people don't want to read the sponsored posts, they can skip over them. I never understand why people feel they can dictate to other bloggers what they can and can't put on their own blogs - bore off! xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918108546841034343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383632655567727486.post-68770166442405828552013-10-27T01:02:10.226+00:002013-10-27T01:02:10.226+00:00how come i always miss the drama on twitter?! i re...how come i always miss the drama on twitter?! i really don't see anything wrong with sponsored posts, especially if what you're promoting fits in with your blog/is something you'd recommend anyway...at the end of the day it's like you said, if you don't like it don't read it xthe ineffable soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037586341197359287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383632655567727486.post-30704291656454550122013-10-26T23:19:43.769+01:002013-10-26T23:19:43.769+01:00I read some of this 'drama' on twitter and...I read some of this 'drama' on twitter and it made me laugh a little. Sponsored posts have never bothered me and I can only ever see it as a good thing for a blogger, especially if it is supporting them financially. I'm fed up of seeing people saying sponsored posts are a 'sell out' etc. because like you say its your blog you can write/post whatever you want and £50 sounds good in return for a blog post!<br /><br />Hannah<br />x<br />www.daintyandivory.blogspot.com Hannah.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10951651360262853604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2383632655567727486.post-37880243787520194172013-10-26T22:45:05.702+01:002013-10-26T22:45:05.702+01:00Ah the good old sponsored post debate.

Like you mentioned you don't have to read them and most of the time I never do. The one thing that does annoy me about them is when they aren't disclosed that they are sponsored and everything about the post screams that it is.
