Excellent post- and it gives us all something to think about.

I, for one, am seriously thinking about who I want to approach (and when I say approach I really mean beg.)

I am restricting myself to companies whose products I have on my shelf, or in my belly.

Again, wonderful post.

Absol-freakin-lutely! It’s like, every time I catch one of my girls pimping herself to any ol’ john who comes along with a fat Amex card (ifyouknowwhatimeanandithinkyoudo), Hon, have standards! I mean, sure, it all looks good NOW, but what happens in a few years when your hair’s turning gray and those crow’s feet start appearing and the boobs are starting to sag, and you find yourself waiting for your 3 o’clock who doesn’t show because of some lame-ass excuse like “it’s Valentine’s Day” and he’s spending it with his wife, blah blah blah, TRUST ME – GET THE BOOB JOB. Totes worth it in the end.

Wait – what were we talking about? Oh hell just pour me another, I am SO ready for Blogher ’10 (Jack Daniels does do sponsorships, right?).

I love that you wrote this … there are many bloggers who wish to be taken seriously and then go forth and act unprofessionally – there is a disconnect and since the blogging world is open to anyone we see a lot of interesting behaviors.

GREAT post.

Now I know exactly what I’m going to do for Blog Her 2011. For a long time, I wondered if the fact that I didn’t jump on everything was looking as picky. Instead, I see now that I was being focused about who I was willing to represent.

Plus, I’m not interested in having Blog Her 2011 just given to me. I’d rather save up and pay most of my own way (although a little sponsorship would be nice, and the company that I’m thinking of? I’d kill to represent because I’m a huge fan)

Totally tweetable. And I thought I was the only one struck by the number of tweets asking for random sponsorships. As a community, we supposedly hate when the PR folks go for a quickie rather than a relationship, so it makes no sense for a blogger to shout out to the world asking for a sponsor for this or that. Relationships are a two-way street.
