As i blogger, i strongly believe in declaring #gifts and #ads because they are key to building the authenticity.

For starters, a gift is something you receive with no expectation of anything other than maybe “thank you,” An editorial sample is a tool that editors and writers use to write authentic original content. if I accept a sample I feel bound to write about it. In all the years I’ve been doing this, I’ve only balked a couple of times on something that I really couldn’t make work. In these rare cases I was honest but also gave the PR person or company the choice whether they wanted me to publish an honest and fair review, or simply not write about it. Lastly, I never feel “guilty” as this author does about accepting samples. My reputation, my effort, my time, my bandwidth and my influence someone else is getting for free. I do accept sponsored posts in which case no samples are required, but then my outlet is getting paid to post.
