Thanks everyone. I sent an email their way, offering them a sponsored post, but I didn't include a price on it.

I believe debtconsolidationcare is part of CareOne.

The only thing I would recommend is not putting dollars in the first response email - rather something like "I'd be happy to provide rates, if you would like."

The difference? It causes them to engage and interact.

Great idea. This will probably save you a lot of hassle.

Do you follow this even for advertisers who contact you and are upfront about their intentions, or do you just give your prices immediately in that case? I'm still new to this side of things.

Hi Jeff!

I think this is a public forum so people are probably wary of putting prices in here. Shoot me an email at frugalconfessions [at] hotmail.com and I'll help you out.

I've put a guest post from that site before. I asked them if they would pay for a sponsored posting, and they said no. Eventually, I removed the link from the article body and placed it in the intro line, and gave it to them for free.

should I make her an offer, or allow her to set the price first?

Realistically, how much should I ask for?

Yep, ask for a little bit of money. I hosted some ads from them, and they'll offer you something. It's not a ton of money though.

I agree with everyone here...ask him to do it as a sponsored post!

Definitely ask for money.

Shoot high, debt consolidation people are used to getting turned away. If they decline, reply that you're concerned about them being in a "bad neighborhood" in Google and that the price is justified. Nothing like a minor slap on the cheek to get them thinking twice.

I had them advertise on my site two years ago. Ask for a fee. They want free PR.
