Blogging Has Its Privileges

Yes thats supposed to be Membership, as in the Amex card slogan but for my purposes it’s really blogging that has gotten me things not a credit card. I am really amazed at how much fun I have been having and how much loot I have been acquiring just from the simple thing I love to do.

I mean it all started out innocently enough last November with my first few posts, I thought “Hey this is kind of fun.” and after a few months I even started to make a nice little bit of money from doing my little ads and reviews, so of course that was really exciting. Lately I have been getting a lot of free samples and e-mails asking me if I will do some reviews for more samples. Hell yes! I love getting samples it’s like little mini-Christmas’.

For example I did a post for Maxxed Energy Pops (energy suckers!) and they loved it but at the time I was unable to get their product locally, so I let them know this and they sent me out an entire case, but then just last week they e-mailed me again saying they were sorry for the delay but they now had the t-shirts and samples in stock again, within days I received another case and an awesome black Maxxed t-shirt!

Then there was a little post I did for Renuzit Tri-scents and a contest they were having where entrants made a video about how the Tri-scents helped transform part of their home and the winner would get a 10,000 dollar makeover from Tanya Meme, all I had to do was talk about the video I liked and embed it in my post. Well the other day they e-mailed me for my address and a couple days later I received my very own Renuzit Tri-scent. Sweet!

Alright these may not seem like the most extravagant things in the world to some people but to me free is awesome because it’s just a few more dollars I didn’t need to spend so I can use it elsewhere, and like I said I have been contacted by a couple different companies now to do more sample reviews, so there will be more to come, and more free stuff to talk about.
