Revised 12 October 2007

I’m a working writer. I’m also into froufrou hair salons, designer coffee, hand-blended perfumes, and shiny geeky toys.

While I do get paid a decent amount to write stuff for other people, my blog has always been for me. I started it because I’m not into morning pages. I like feedback. It’s better than chocolate.

In July, 2007, I decided to try blogging for bucks. Why? Because if I’m going to be writing ANYWAY, then my words should help keep the net fees paid, and if they keep me in pink dye, caramel macchiatos, BPAL, and pink mp3 players, hey, bonus. Therefore, some posts on this blog may be sponsored product reviews, while others may include paid links. I find this to be far less intrusive than sticking links in my sidebar, as well as less bandwidth intensive. Also, I can control which products appear on my site. With link ad, you can’t always. .

So, yes, sometimes I get paid to write stuff. Any product endorsement or review is based on real-life experience either with the site, or the technology, and, where required, those blog posts are marked as such.

The links are not marked. Why? Because they’re just links, not whole reviews.

If you want the list of who I write for, and an overview of my experiences with them, I’m happy to provide it.
If you have questions or comments, feel free to email me: Melissa AT MissMeliss DOT com.

That is all.
