I’m sure you’ve noticed the advertisements on this blog. We’ve got a Google ad at the top of each post and an Amazon widget on the sidebar, which should be more relevant going forward. I do hope that these ads don’t detract from your experience on our blog. Many a good site has been ruined by overzealous monitization. That being said, Lindsey and I are hoping to make a little money off of this blog to go towards paying our wedding. In addition to the ads we’ll be adding an occaisional sponsored post soon. These posts will be clearly designated as sponsored. If the idea of a sponsored post doesn’t sit well with you, then please ignore it. However, I’m only going to post about wedding related things on this blog. There will be no posts about lawn mowers or sexual disfunction pills on this blog. This site is about planning a wedding, getting maried, and starting a life with your partner. It will stay that way. I promise.
I’m also going to add an Amazon store page to the site. Should be pretty cool. That store will be on its own page and have its own vibe. If you are a regular reader of this site, and like shopping at Amazon, start your search at that store when it is up!
If you guys know of any other wedding blogs that have monitized in a good way, please let me know. I love to see good examples of profitable blogs that are still in the spirit of an honest, meaningful conversation.
One thing I can promise you is that Lindsey and I aren’t going to sell out our wedding for sponsors. I apologize ahead of time if this offends anyone, but I feel having an actual wedding sponsored is pretty tacky. If you’ve done a sponsored wedding yourself, or have been to one, and it was pulled off properly, please share the story.
