Forms of Advertising:

The following forms of advertising are available on The Brink of Something Else. For more information, including prices, please contact me, or download my media kit.

Text links and banner ads may run for any length of time in the right sidebar or site footer. Text links may comprise up to two sentences of short description.

Text links on professional sponsored posts may be placed on the post of your choice, new or existing. Anchor text is chosen by the advertiser, and you may also provide sponsored post content, but this must appeal to my audience and I reserve final editorial approval. Minimum word count is 500.

Post sponsorship entails a 2-3 sentence advertisement after the post of your choice, with link anchor text of your choice. One link only.

Reviews of gear, books or travel services will reflect my honest opinion based on experience. These posts will be from 400 to 1,000 words, will be permanent on the site with links and actively promoted through social networking.

Press trips are considered and accepted on a case-by-case basis. All resulting articles will, of course, reflect my honest opinion.

I do not accept advertising offers from online gaming sites,
or those which are irrelevant to my readership.
