For those of you who arrive here at Blackgirlinmaine the old fashioned way by actually coming onto the web page, you may have noticed it’s looking a little different here in BGIM land.
.
After much hemming and hawing, ads have arrived but have no fear, no one owns BGIM and unlike my brief and short lived stint with a major blog publishing network that shall go unnamed, ads that appear on BGIM are here because I personally think they are cool as hell.
.
I admit taking ads is a scary thing but after 3 years of blogging, while it’s a fun hobby the truth is it needs to at least pay for itself. In the past I have tried online begging but frankly no one digs on it including me, I feel sleazy and you well… you feel pressured. That said, I am keeping the tip jar up but considering it’s only netted a handful of donations, I suspect tip jars also don’t speak to readers. I mean no I don’t need the cash to eat but it would be helpful in making it to a few blogging conferences in 2012 as well as pay for the upkeep of this fine space. Or maybe help recreate the emergency fund that was blown to smithereens this summer.
.
You will notice that I have become a blogger with Eden’s Fantasys, hey, I like sex and toys are fun! That said this blog is attached to my very real name and as someone who heads a small faith based agency I do need to be cautious about what I write but from time to time I may review items from them, nothing too raunchy but nice rated R stuff.
.
I also have a great ad from June the Homemaker, she is a great gal that does videos so you can learn all that stuff your Mama never taught you…please check her out! Lastly I am running an ad from Red Poppy Design, her designs are not only great but affordable, if you need a website please look her up. I have a few other ads that will be rolling out in the near future, that will be pretty awesome.

If you are a regular reader and like what you read here, can I ask that you show some love to my advertisers? I’d appreciate it and I am sure the folks advertising would appreciate it as well.
By the way if you are interested in advertising on BGIM, details can be found here.
