I started using Crystal's service in June and my revenue from private advertising immediately shot up.  I can't speak highly enough about her.  I had been handling my own advertising requests but trying to follow up on everything was just eating up too much of my time.  Crystal does an amazing job of keeping everything organized and outsourcing to her was one of the best things I've done. 

Crystal is incredible at following up. I would recommend based on that aspect alone.

I have just started using her and it has already paid off.  I would recommend her. 

Exactly! She is.

I just got back from out of town, so thank you all so much for the great references!  I really appreciate it!

For anybody else who is interested, it is a simple service.  We set up a separate gmail account, you forward the initial contact letters you receive, I reply and work out the deals, and then you post.  Once you are Paypal'd the total amount, you send over my commission, so I only get paid after you do.  At the end of successful deals, I send the advertiser a complete list of my clients so they can work more deals right off the bat if they'd like.  Once they've worked through the blogs they like from that list, I ask if they'd like to do a deal with the Yakezie.

Again, thank you all for the great references and the words of support!  It's nice to be working with you Tony!

Sounds good. Crystal does have a lot of advertising experience, hence it seems like she's really good at setting the prices right. I actually got a complain from a fellow Yakezie member saying that my ad rates were too low. But Crystal's fixed all that for me now.

It was not a complaint – it was a heads up that as a PR2 you were underselling yourself.  Hey, if you don't want advice – I'll step aside and let you figure it out solo.
