Disclosures

Posted on 25. Mar, 2010 by Brian Reid in Uncategorized

It has become very hip, in the light of some recent bureaucratic rules and the explosion of mommyblogging conferences, for bloggers to put up a post disclosing how they interact with various commercial entities. So I thought I’d share where rebeldad.com stands on this important issue: I really don’t give a crap about commercial entities.

I have not ever reviewed an item I received for free (or as a result of a pitch by a public relations professional). I don’t expect to do so in the future. I make that pretty clear to PR pros who contact me. They still, occasionally, send stuff to me. And most of that stuff sits on a shelf under I go through a neat-freak phase. And then it goes to Goodwill.

Right now, this blog has no advertising. This is not because I’m against advertising. I just decided that the modest ad revenue I was collecting each month wasn’t worth the space it took up on the blog. So when I redesigned the blog I got rid of it, for aesthetic reasons. Maybe it’ll come back. But I doubt it.

My goal here isn’t to make a million dollars or become some sort of thought leader on the subject of crap you can consume. My goal is to change the world (even if just a tiny bit) by encouraging dads to become more involved in their families and giving aid and comfort to the dads already doing that. If you have a product that will assist in that, by all means, let me know, and I’ll shout it to the world. (With disclosure, of course.)
