Stuff that occurs to me

All of my 'how to' posts are tagged here. The most popular posts are about blocking and private accounts on Twitter, also the science communication jobs list. None of the science or medical information I might post to this blog should be taken as medical advice (I'm not medically trained).

Think of this blog as a sort of nursery for my half-baked ideas hence 'stuff that occurs to me'.

Science in London: The 2018/19 scientific society talks in London blog post

Wednesday 15 July 2020

This is an ancient blog yet I still get requests to post other people's content ;)

It's definitely calmed down a lot since the heyday of people sending me requests seemingly very frequently but I'm surprised it still happens. I'd have thought I'd have spoken to everyone by now ;)

I don't pay for posts nor accept payment for them; I don't do affiliate link or marketing and I won't mention your company (or link to it) because you've asked.

On 2 July I was emailed by someone offering me an 'interesting proposition' (ie getting a post on my site) - I said 'no' so was quite surprised to receive an identical email today (below) with 'Paid Posting' as its new subject line.

Of course it's up to you if you want to promote other people's stuff on your site (this is how influencers make money I suppose) but it's not for me, and I'd already said so.

So here's me posting the request here as an example. To others ;)

(Note that I'm in the UK and if I were to accept payment for an advertorial type of post I'd be breaking the Advertising Standards Authority's regulations on sponsored adverts - this is why you see things like #ad and #spon on social media posts).

Hi!

I am interested in posting on your blog brodiesnotes.blogspot.com I need to know 5 things in advance before I include your site in my offer:

1. Final and flat best rates per post.
2. Type of links (dofollow or nofollow).
3. Do you add disclosures/sponsored tags or you can avoid this?
4. Apart from regular clients sometimes I have gambling/adult or marijuana-related clients. Do you also allow links from such niches and at what rate?
5. Do you offer an Instagram brand mention? If yes, what is the price for post mention and story?

Payments are sorted in 7+ business days after posting via PayPal unless else is pre-agreed.

If you run other sites in any niche and language feel free to share with the above info.

I receive 3000+ orders monthly from different clients in all niches. The volume of orders does not depend personally on me; you will receive an order for your site in case any client selects your site for their campaign. I hope you can understand.

Looking forward to working with you!

Cheers!

Comment policy: I enthusiastically welcome corrections and I entertain polite disagreement ;) Because of the nature of this blog it attracts a LOT - 5 a day at the moment - of spam comments (I write about spam practices,misleading marketing and unevidenced quackery) and so I'm more likely to post a pasted version of your comment, removing any hyperlinks.

Comments written in ALL CAPS LOCK will be deleted and I won't publish any pro-homeopathy comments, that ship has sailed I'm afraid (it's nonsense).
