Thank you for your interest in Reluctant Entertainer! To inquire about partnering/advertising on RE, or any other questions that you have, please contact me at: reluctant entertainer at yahoo (dot) com

Reluctant Entertainer was created in 2006 and helps people learn how to entertain and practice hospitality – without fear!

Reluctant Entertainer brings imperfect living and passion into lives through gardening, canning, cooking, baking, creating, decorating, entertaining, and encouraging others to open their doors to love and connection, through simple ideas, recipes, and plenty of inspiration.

For items and activities that value my mission, I am happy to provide ad space on my blog. If you feel like your product is a good fit, please email me.

My site is updated on a regular basis with stimulating, interesting posts including real life photography. I also contribute to other on-line magazines and columns, bringing in new readers on a steady basis.

ADVERTISING INFORMATION

If you would like a larger ad space than the 125 x 125, contact me and we can discuss the options.

For all advertising rates I offer 30, 60, and 90 day ad runs at affordable rates, plus rates for linkage ads.

I AM COMPENSATED FOR SOME POSTS ON RE WHERE I TALK ABOUT CERTAIN SITES OR PRODUCTS (NOT ALWAYS THOUGH). I OFTEN TURN DOWN OFFERS WHERE I AM ASKED TO PROMOTE SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE IN OR I DO NOT THINK FITS IN WITH MY BLOG AND MY VALUES. I WILL NEVER BLOG ABOUT SOMETHING THAT I WOULDN’T BE INTERESTED IN MYSELF. I HAVE AN ON-GOING PAID RELATIONSHIP WITH BUSH’S BEANS.
