Be your most authentic self

It could have been last week or a couple of days ago when I thought about how I wanted to change Pink on the Cheek for the better.
( I am horrible about time and math which I think are same thing since it’s numbers.)
But I digress…I wanted to give my sponsors more exposure on the blog since my favorite thing about blogging is promoting others, sharing my stories with you and basically just socializing and having fun.
So I updated my advertising section and I also raised prices because I thought, if I do more for you guys, I should be paid a wee bit more. I thought the price was fair with what I was providing. As I read over my blog, I even said something like “I know that advertising can be expensive”, and as I read those words over again…I thought…I think these prices are not me. Because when I am looking to sponsor a blog…sometimes they ask for something like $40 and to me that is expensive. I even have seen a blogger ask for $200 and to me that is ridiculous!!
On my spiel I wanted to share that I am kicking it back old school with the prices and made a change. 
Sponsoring can be expensive and since the economy is rough on everyone, I brought back the free ads. So for every medium size ad, if you use the promo code PINK you will get it for FREE. 
Now if you would like to swap on these ads, that would be cool too since I am a broke girl and LOVE free advertisement, but if not… take the promo code, share it with your friends, use it every month if you want to, the world is your oyster with that ad space.
Next would be the rest of the ads. They all have come down in price. No more promo codes on that one because that would be confusing for me. All the rest of the prices are under $12!
I feel much better about this and I am so glad I can have the chance to help you grow your business.
On a side note, starting September 1st, I am starting the “Pin it, Did it” link-up. I will love more co-hosts if you want to join. Basically I will give you a prompt at the beginning of the month, say “make a crock pot meal” and then you head to pinterest, find a crock pot meal you love and then make it and of course blog about it. At the end of the month you will link up with how your experience went!
What do you think? Yay! Nay?

email me at pinkonthecheek@gmail.com for questions about co-hosting with me!

    I love the pin link up idea! I was participating in one once before but it went away :( So I have a few pins that I have done that I can link up haha :D
    I think I am very interested in your medium ad space :D haha!

    So excited for the pinning link up! It’s going to be great to have the motivation to get lots of my pins actually made. I hear you about the blog ads. Some of the prices out there are just ridiculous.. it’s like when you buy a magazine and really, really want the clothes on the pages.. and then you see that the shirt is $400 and the pants are $350. Ridiculous! Thanks for sharing your feelings today about that!

    OH EM GEE!! I love the Pinning Link Up idea – I think that’s great! And i love that it’s 1x a month – instead of 1x a week. Thats exhausting, and a lot of work – and then I can’t read what everyone else did because I always fall behind, blah, blah, blah.

    I’m so in.
    I’d love to cohost – whatcha need me to do?!

    I think this is great! I want us all to support each other as much as possible, so this makes perfect sense! I have been offering sponsorship as part of my “Perception Is Everything” series, so a) it’s free and b) I get to sponsor creativity ;) Kudos ;)
