Blogging With Money On Mind Is Not Much Fun

Soumyadip shares how he deals with people who send him offers for writing sponsored posts on his blog:

There’s no harm in making money, after all we all need a good life to live and that often costs some dough. With monetary benefits attached to a task the performance usually turns to be better (the Indian cricket team might be treated as an exception to the rule). But sponsored posts are different.

Fantasies apart, blogging with money on mind is not much fun. Blogging for me is unbridled - I wish to let it remain that way as long as possible.

Whenever I get offers for sponsored posts, I give them a counter offer. That they let me know of topics and ideas that would interest me and I would post about them for free. But it seems that they don’t like their work done for free. Strange, isn’t it? Link.
