Every month on Love All Blogs we offer 10 sponsor places to bloggers. These 10 places are available to purchase at a cost of £20 each and entitle you, the blogger to the following for the calendar month:

  • Social sharing of the sponsor’s posts across 8 Social Networks
  • A sponsor’s advert on Love All Blogs (size 150px x 150px)
  • A place in the featured Sponsors section on ourhomepage along with your blog and social media links
  • A complimentary sharing on Love All Blogs, Blogpinner and, if relevant, Crafty Kiddies and The Craft Wall.
  • A weekly #ff (#followfriday) shout out on Twitter for the duration of the sponsorship
You can read about these services in more depth below in the Terms and Conditions.
Sponsorship goes on sale on the 14th of each month at noon, ready to begin on the 1st day of the following month, so for example, on November 14th the Sponsorship places for December will go on sale. We don’t take pre-bookings or multiple months of sponsorship in advance. This is to make it fairier to everyone to be offered a chance. We tweet reminders in the days running up to Sponsorship going on sale – please be aware that if you are really, reeeeally keen on Sponsorship that so far it has sold out quickly.

These are the Terms and Conditions for being a Love All Blogs Sponsor, and details what being a Sponsor does and doesn’t entitle you to, as well as other important related information. When you purchase a Sponsor Subscription you are agreeing to, and understanding, the following:

Sponsorship subscriptions run from midnight on the 1st of each month through to midnight on the last day of each month. The purchase of a Love All Blogs Sponsorship package includes the following benefits for the life of the subscription:

Excluding the #ff, which applies to the Sponsor, all these services apply to blog posts. We set a maximum limit of applying these services to 1 blog post per day. In the event that multiple posts are published across a 24 hour period, we, the Love All Blogs team, will promote one of the posts at our discretion.
This service is NOT available for sponsored content, including sponsored videos.
We do apply the above services to product reviews.

*1. Social Sharing
Love All Blogs endeavours to share sponsor’s blog posts in the most effective way we can. We take time to read each blog post so that when we share it, we can give an appropriate description or ‘teaser’ to maximise the instances of people clicking through.  We will also use relevant tags on the Social Media channels that allow them, to give your links the best chance we can of being found.
To make sure we provide a transparent and ethical service we tag all Social Sharing as #ad.
We share on:
Twitter – at least 2 tweets per post, maximum of 1 post per day. If a sponsor uses Twitter we will tag them into these tweets unless otherwise specified. We will follow sponsors on Twitter and add them to a ‘Sponsors Tweet List’ so we can keep track of tweets and RT from time to time.
Facebook – Sharing on our Facebook Page.
Pinterest – If sponsors use an image or images in posts we will share them on as many of our Pinterest boards that we deem relevant. There is no limit to how many times we will re-pin a post’s image (s).
Google + – Sharing on our G+ Page, we will tag posts accordingly, and tag sponsors in as appropriate.  We will follow sponsors on G+ and be sure to re-share and +1 things from sponsor’s profiles from time to time.
Tumblr – We will share a maximum of one post per day on our Tumblr profile. We always try to use an image from a post where possible for visual impact and tag posts accordingly.
Other Social Networks which we will share post links to, tagged where necessary:
Stumbleupon
Delicious
Posterous

*2. Sponsors Advert / Blog Badge
Sponsors are entitled to an advert for their blog on the LAB sidebar.  We require a square, eye-catching badge of dimensions no smaller than 150 x 150 px

*5. Complimentary sharing
This complementary sharing service is a free additional extra for Sponsors. The Love All Blog Team will share posts on Love All Blogs, Blogpinner and, if relevant, Crafty Kiddies and The Craft Wall.
Crafty Kiddies is a showcase site for kids crafts.
The Craft Wall is a showcase site for grown ups crafts.

By opting in to Complimentary sharing, sponsors are agreeing to let us use post’s image, and in some cases a brief excerpt of the post. The rights to the images and content remain solely that of the sponsor.

Complimentary sharing is not paying for links. Paying for follow links on the internet is against Googles Terms and Conditions. Anyone can showcase their blog posts for for free on Love All Blogs, Blogpinner, Crafty Kiddies, and The Craft Wall,, all of which are blog showcase sites designed to provide a ‘one stop shop’ for people looking for blog posts to read to come to.

*6. #FF shout outs on Twitter
Sponsors will be included on a #ff shout out for each week of the duration of sponsorship.
