A Good Ol' Fashioned Blog Button Swap

Let's face it, I'm not the best marketer. I hope they teach me some tricks in my graphic design program, because it really doesn't come naturally to me.

My previous blog's address had been getting decent traffic, but not nearly enough to warrant anyone actually paying to advertise there.

Sad, but true.

I had visions of passive income floating in on it's own accord while I lay back, relaxed, and dreamed up the next great blog post to put up.

Alas... life is not always that simple.

I figured though, with a new blog address should come a fresh start. So how about we go back to basics and have a good ol' fashioned blog button swap? Could be fun!

Here's how it'll work:
  • You subscribe to my blog and I'll subscribe to yours.
  • We'll exchange similarly sized buttons to post on the sidebars of our blogs.
  • Guest posts and other such things are optional since this is a free deal.
Buttons on my blog are first come, first serve! I'll re-up each month, so you'll get a chance for a better one if you don't get what you wanted this month. 

Button sizes I am looking for:
  • 300x200 LARGE button -- 3 available
  • 300x100 MEDIUM button -- 6 available
  • 150x100 SMALL button -- 12 available
Perhaps someday when my traffic is higher, I'll try again to have paid advertisers, but in the meanwhile, I think this is more my blog's speed. 

So... if you are a creative blog or small business who is looking for a swap, don't look any further! Contact me if you have any other questions and let's get swapping! desertrose0601 {at} gmail {dot} com

    That's a great idea. I am in the same boat too. I'd like to promote you in my blog - how about featuring you? and you do me to yours. I don't know how to put the buttons yet, but eager to learn if you do know. Take care. May the NEW YEAR2012 bring you much success. Dita.

Hi, my name is Linda and I am a 25 year old law student living in Manhattan. I blog over at My Passion Is... about my life, scrapbooking, DIY crafts, photography, exploring NYC & more. I am honored to be sharing a post with you today on Jen's blog, so thanks for having me! I recently completed a mini album that I made out of a pasta box so I wanted to share a tutorial with you so you could make your own! What you need: empty pasta box [I used a whole foods penne pasta] scrapbook papers & embellishments a single hole punch sturdy tape [like packaging tape] a paper cutter and/or scissors some sort of binding, either binding rings or ribbon First, you are going to flatten out your pasta box. Then you are going to cut it down to two 6x6 squares [or whatever size album you want to make]. If the box doesn’t fit perfectly in those shapes that’s alright, just piece them together using packaging tape to hold the squares together. Once you cover them i...

Looking for a new church

For reasons I won't bore you with, I'll most likely be moving a little closer to school within the next month or two. This prompted me to start church-hunting again, to find something a little closer to where I'll be located. And this, of course, prompted me to start thinking in depth about what helps me decide what churches to try and what churches to stick with once I try them. via Website I must say, a church's website is a pretty huge first impression. If you don't have one... or if it looks like it hasn't been updated since 1992... I most likely won't read far enough to even find out when your service times are. You don't need a flashy, gimmicky site either (in fact, I'd prefer you didn't), but please make sure to list services times, directions, ministry and education opportunities, and also names and emails/phone numbers of people I can get in contact with in case I have more questions. Also, it is super helpful to have some phot...
