Free Beer, Food for Thought and Cash for Comment

Professional freelance beer writer Melissa Cole currently has her knickers in a twist over some blogger getting paid or demanding cash to post favourable views on beer. Now if some amateur was threatening my livelihood or whatever I would be a bit pissed off as well, but that's life. At one stage I was getting around 1000+ individual visitors per day on this blog but since reducing the frequency of my posts and moving back to Australia, those days are well behind me. I openly admit and have posted that I have received samples, meals and been invited to plenty of PR events and parties on the back of my blog. I have yet to receive any cash payments though so I am now throwing open the invitation. If you want me to say nice things about your brand, even if your product is shit - please send me money, and or beer! I have no integrity, but everyone knows that already......

BTW - I now online at home, that means I will have the ability to post more frequently.
