Blogging For Bucks... The Condom Conundrum... and FrankeeZee... 😎❗

There's been an insane heatwave suffocating most of North America for the last month, have you noticed? I've taken, to enjoy walks in my favourite lakeside park — BEFORE, that red-lava scullion rises in the east. Yesterday, I invited FrankeeZee (*my buddy from another sex site *) to join me; he happily obliged.

A cool breeze had begun to brush the waves when we took a break from our jaunt and sat down on a bench. I shut my eyes and inhaled deep breaths of refreshing air as it caressed and soothed my soul. FrankeeZee clumsily plunked himself down, bumped my elbow, then yanked the laptop out of his knapsack — and began to type.

"Oh, for fuck's sake Frankee, give it a rest. Can't you enjoy the moment without writing your stupid blog?"

"Paul, I have an obligation to my SPONSOR, " he replied, smiling.

"Your blog is sponsored? Who would do THAT and why?"

"Paul, I told you about the purge we had last month or were you paying attention?" Frankee rolled his eyes at me and continued.

"Our website unveiled a more user-friendly version of our blog pages. Half the bloggers fucked off, but the rest of us found sponsors. We had to, or we wouldn't exist.

I looked at FrankeeZee and blinked, "OK, so who sponsors you?"

"I found a major beer conglomerate looking for a top blogger, and we worked out a deal. Ever heard of Bud Light?"

My eyes widened. "Bud Light is your sponsor?"

"No, for fuck's sake. 'Banja Luka Brewery' in Bosnia — is Bud's number one competitor — and THEY hooked up with me. What do you think about THAT?"

I didn't know what to say; I was momentarily speechless.

FrankeeZee's fingers clicked the tiny keys as he raised his head and squinted at me. "Ya know Paul; it's too bad you're such a shitty blogger and a pussy."

"Really, and why is that?"

I heard 'Trojan' is looking to support a Top-Ten blogger. But I don't see your name on that 'list' , and you don't use condoms, do you? You don't even fuck anymore, right?"

I glared at Frankee. Friends, what are they good for, if not for their brutal honesty?

Hmmm... I thought for a second. What IF the Bobs — over at A F F headquarters — wanted to turn 'Blog Land' into a moneymaker? What IF they obliged ALL bloggers to pay for the privilege of blogging?

I've used Trojan rubbers; I'll give them a call. Ya never know — just saying.

The sun's crimson rays peeked above the distant horizon. I slipped on my sunglasses and realized — its beauty was ephemeral — we'd all soon start to burn. FrankeeZee nudged my arm.

"Hey Paul, how do spell purgatory?"

................

A view from the pier as the sun fired up.

If bloggers had to pay or get sponsorship to blog, then these pages would disappear.

Then again, that's how the pros do it. 🙂❗

If your — blog, hobby, pastime, passion, life — could be sponsored, what LOGO would you wear? ðŸĪ”

Well, for me, it would be Honda. I can only imagine how stress free life would be. 😁

I guess getting a job would be another option. ðŸĪ”😂

Hi Paul, I can see that you too are friend, for he said some harsh words. To be paid for blogs, to me it's not about money, or to get an audience, it's something I like to share. I'm sure there might be a few that not impressed. I not sure what LOGO, I would have, maybe a smiling face with the words HA HA over the face. I guess, If I had to blog everyday, I'm sure that could be stressful? PS Dude, your a hell of a blogger.

Have you ever tried to get a recipe from one of those blogs where the author goes on for pages and pages about eating cookies at her grandmother’s house and giving special tips for the preparation until you just want to scream WHAT IS THE RECIPE??

I can see it now.... bloggers insanely stretching out the length of their diatribes in order to be able to squeeze more ads on the page. I can’t imagine that my readers really want to read any more about knitting than I am already posting. But who knows, maybe I could get a yarn sponsorship. I need to branch out into bralettes and knickers.

Ya know, I get what you're saying, but it would be fun to be paid for something that you like to do. 😊 That's a good LOGO. 😊❗

When blogging first began, the lengths varied but averaged — 1,500 to 2,000 words. Then the numbers came down. The average attention span of a reader is about 750 to 1,500 words. So... rambling and fluff — are blog-killers. Content is what readers want.
I think ya got it! 👍
And, all a sponsor wants is readers, views and a minute or two of a reader's time. Useless word counts don't cut it anymore.
You'd be fine! ❗ ❗ 😎
So... who would be YOUR sponsor? ðŸĪ” lol 😂

I would love to have Malabrigo or Madeline Tosh as my sponsor ( very nice yarn companies whose products are is a bit spendy).

How about this for a logo?

There is only one company that could sponsor me ... Kodak! Plus, I have a very, very large supply of photos (of all sorts) that I could picture blog for the rest of my life!

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

My career was spent in the corporate sector in the financial services industry. I have volunteered at the Invictus Games, worked with youth and seniors and as a sighted guide for the blind and partially sighted. I have also worked at conferences, consumer and trade shows and fund-raising galas So, I would seek sponsorship from the service/hospitality industry.

I think my sponsor would be one of those sour candy manufacturers - you know hint of sugar but still sour.

I can't see them going that way on the site as the number of people who blog on this site is relatively small in proportion to the overall site members. They'd end up paying the sponsors.

Sounds like a plan and you have plenty of companies to choose from.
Or, you might get a family of sponsors on board! 👍 😊
Of course, blogging would turn into a full-time job. 😁❗Eee... ya got enough material? ðŸĪ”

Sweet with a touch of sour ; so you've described yourself? lol 😂 Is there a taste test you'd offer? ðŸĪ”

True, about the low numbers of bloggers. And that number seems to be dwindling, isn't it?

Now I'm depressed. My blog is all over the place. The chances of finding a sponsor who could even be bothered to read it are almost nil. Guess I'll just have to start to pay for my obsession for writing things people don't really want to read.... smile....

Well, THAT'S not the effect I wanted to create.😔 By the way, everyone's blog is all over the place. lol 😂

MY question was open to your WHOLE life, including hobbies and the like.
I chose Honda because, for the last thirty years or so, it's the only car I've driven. Not that I'm obsessed or anything; I have a good friend in the industry. 😊❗
Ok, and they ARE fast, at least the models I chose.

I wouldn't worry about satisfying anyone but yourself when it comes to writing stuff. It's a tough crowd. Throw a picture of a vagina in there — that seems to be the rage. 😎
Do people read on this site? ðŸĪ” ❗😏

this is a phenomenal post!
I LOVE IT!!

i am tho in all seriously surprised they haven't made us at least pay for a Gold Membership to blog here.
but i figure i am giving them FREE CONTENT and it's extra clicks.
more clicks, more money....
more time on the site... more money...

tho it seems none of us are paying members, LOL!

um.
i would likely have a restaurant conglomerate sponsor my blog.
i had a lot of real life friends try to encourage me to write a restaurant review blog for pay...
it seems so disingenuous to get PAID for it.

like i was following a famous Korean Food Blogger.
and then i notice she started to get sponsorships.
so like she got sponsored by the Pork Industry.
I AM SERIOUS!
and ya know she was posting pork recipes.

my blogging is my happy space.
tho as you know sometimes the post ain't so happy.
i don't like to publicly diss a restaurant.
so i am super cautious about posting on Yelppers etc, etc. etc.

do you Yelpp in the land of Eh?
there are massive lists of things you have to review on to get preferred status with them.
a good friend did it and she got restaurant discounts.
but i want to enjoy my meal while it is hot.
i don't want to deal with a spreadsheet and a laptop keeping track of all my data.

not sure you noticed i post a bit less on food now - here.
i started to post on a restaurant review page where i am not getting paid.
some on the page clearly are getting paid.
and no one pays attention to those paid posts.
but i have a bit of a following there.
so i don't cross post my food pics anymore.

XO!
plus sometimes i like to talk about a topic besides food.
i can't talk about my love of hard cocks in my food blog that is sponsored!


Paulxx001 replies on 8/29/2021 6:57 pm:

I love your devotion to taste buds. I can sense, almost taste, what you describe. 😋

I have one.

I really love food.
There's this place in the West Island...
Ugh.... never mind. 😔

Paulxx001 replies on 8/29/2021 7:06 pm:

And then I lost interest.

Firstly, have to wave a big "Hi" to FrankeeZee, and you know Paul, I can almost visualize the two of you chatting and enjoying the Great Outdoors, (before the very hot of course)! Getting away from the subject for a mo, how hot does it get in your part of the world? 40%C - Okay, and am not sure what's that in "F" - prob a hundred and something?! Anyway, Mmm ..... interesting thoughts though, cos me thinks something needs to happen to spice things up a bit?! Never thought bout being sponsored before! Will think bout it now! "Big Grin"

..... And always 'hold onto all those sexy thoughts'!
