AD CONTENT ACCEPTED
As the Publisher of SlingWords, I accept selected book and/or writing-publishing related advertisements at budget-friendly rates because I know Authors are struggling to make ends meet in this competitive world.
I also am a Participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to products on Amazon.
Advertisements accepted for publication are based on the editorial content of this blog, and the interests of its readers.
As Publisher, I reserve the right to refuse any advertisement. Any advertisement that includes, but is not limited to, defamatory content, adult content, adult language, information pertaining to legal or illegal drug use, or denigrating to any group of people based on religion, ethnicity, or sexual orientation will NOT be accepted so please don't waste your time or mine.
In addition to accepting ads for books and other products and services of interest to readers and writers, I accept ad clients who offer other useful products or services that, in my opinion, offer a solid benefit to consumers. After all, I'm a consumer too, a discerning one at that, so if I find something that I think is excellent, I am open to ads for that product or service.

3. Sidebar Of-Interest Ad
This can be an ad for anything that is of interest to readers or authors, i.e. format, proofreading, editing, cover art, professional reviews, etc. This type of ad can also be to promote a blog, authors' group, or event. Includes 1 contact link and a short post to be published the day the ad appears. (See #1 above for details about blog posts.) Price range $3.00-10.00/week depending on the purpose of the ad. For an author's start-up blog, $3.00/week. For services ad, please contact me to discuss how I can help you.
4. Guest Post Disguised as Ad
I accept Guest Posts with no more than 3 outbound links that offer something that meets the readership's needs. To see what I mean, check out the list of topics under Something To Talk About in the right sidebar, i.e., writing, publishing, reading, health, cooking, pop culture interests, and more.
All Guest Posts must be organic and interesting to the readership—no hard sell, no SEO stuffing, and must be formatted according to the blog style. Once published, Posts remain available in The Archives of the blog unless the sponsor requests their removal. The price for a Guest Post starts at $20.00. For more information, contact me.
