However, that's not what my blog is about. Sponsored posts are kept at a minimum (usually 1-2 a month). <br /><br />I, like you, will only endorse something I truly support and feel others could benefit from. I have turned down many offers because I don't like the product or service being offered. <br /><br />Affiliate links usually appear in my sidebar but I have Viglink installed on my site too. <br /><br />If you ever what to see the array of money making options for you, please stop by my blog and look in the blogging page. I have a post on how to make money blogging. You might find something that works well/best with you.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing (and for linking up to the #SHINEbloghop). <br /><br />Wishing you a lovely weekend.<br />xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09231196028453953524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320947111438612027.post-18631830314827299982014-07-31T20:11:57.333-05:002014-07-31T20:11:57.333-05:00Great post.

And I usually love seeing people use affiliate links. I happily click on them even if I'm not interested in buying anything. From one stay at home mama to another- it's freaking awesome to get to bring a little extra $$ from something that you love doing. <br /><br />My thoughts on it are, if celebrities who are multimillionaires can promote products and no one cares, a tiny blog written by a stay at home mama should be able to do the same thing.
