Thanks for the list–that is a great idea. I am surprised you don’t have Swag Bucks listed under rewards programs. It is one of my favorite programs since you can earn rewards without spending any money! Here is more information about it http://www.swapsavers.com/forum/topics/swag-bucks-code-22609

Thanks so much for writing this! My blog is brand new and I'm trying to learn all I can about blogging so I can share what I've learned about beating the recession through shopping with others. I'll be following this for sure! I've learned so much already from your websites! Thanks! Christina @ Recession Proof Shopping´s last blog post..Friday's Frugal Find

Great advice! I always sign up for the programs before I recommend them to "test" them out. It's always fun when I was going to recommend something anyway and then come to find out there's an ad for it as well! Rachel @ Surviving The Stores´s last blog post..Update on Pace Salsa Coupon

Great advice! Thank you! I also agree about only posting things that I feel comfortable with- I have family and friends that go to my site and I wouldn't want them to be scammed! Thanks again, as always, I enjoy your site! Melissa´s last blog post..Fry's Week of 3/25 - 3/31

That is such great advice, Tara! We try to be very selective about affiliate marketing and only really use it when it is truly useful. In the beginning, I wasn't as selective, but I learned with time that it was good to do my research & homework. Wonderful tips!

Thanks so much for your insights! This is a hobby of mine and a way to show my kids that giving is just as important as receiving, and I would hate when they get older to be "tricked" into something on my site just because I had a link to it! It isn't worth the extra money, but I do like sharing the good deals! Beth´s last blog post..My first Giveaway - $125 Lodis Ballet Wallet! Let's make it great!

Andrea and Kim, I absolutely agree, and that’s why I felt it was important to point out in my post. Losing my readers’ trust is not worth earning a few bucks on an affiliate promotion.

Kim, I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I’ll be continuing the series. Thanks for letting me know you’re interested in tips on posting giveaways. I’ll make sure to include that information!

I am thankful that you mentioned that Andrea. I was on a blog just yesterday that mentioned doing reviews for extra cash and when I went into the site it asked me how much I could spend. I asked the site manager or anyone reading the blog if anyone had any experience with this company and the manager just posted my response and there hasn’t been anything sense. I think it really matters in this atmosphere that you trust the companies that you are posting information on and that you don’t just do it because there is a monetary gain.

Tara, all great things to consider!! I am with you 100% on selectivity. If I don't sign up for something myself, I don't feel comfortable sharing that with my readers. Andrea @ Mommy Snacks´s last blog post..Walgreens Snack: Week of October 26

I have been waiting all week for this post. I would be new to this type of blogging but so many Mom’s have helped me get started and being a social worker at heart I thought this would be a good way for me to continue helping others while I am home with my boys. I can’t wait to see what you have to say about getting started. I am also wondering how the ‘reviews/giveaways’ work.
