I got this amazing email today:
- Hi there,
I’m currently working with a brilliant business, who operates in the business technology industry. I noticed your site has published a very interesting article, cgod's profile, which is why I think a collaboration between us could work well..
We would like to feature a bespoke piece of content on your site, which we think would be of great interest to you and your audience. For the privilege of being featured on your site, we would be happy to offer you a fee of $50.
We hope to hear back from you soon.
Kind Regards,
Alan
Well done, cgod. Maybe we should split the $50.
Ooh that's some swingin dick money right thurr
Your profile is all your posts. I see what they are saying. Talk about bespoke content!
Kudos for the much deserved appreciation. I bet it is your use of the #death and #sickandtwisted tags that was so appealing. Popehat spent some time on those responses. Reminds me of David Thorne's seven legged spider. Or 419Eater which highlights the trolling of Nigerian windfall scammers.

Lol! cgod'S profile, finally getting the audience it deserves.
The response: Thanks for getting back to me. Just to give you an idea, we would be composing sponsored articles for your site. They would usually come as text that will be around 500-word article and would include a ‘do-follow’ link to our client. Our writer will go to your site to get a total feel of your usual blog, your style, the tone and type of content you usually post. He’ll write a tailored article for your blog which you can review, edit and reject if you find it not suitable. And for the privilege of posting this article/s, we intend to contribute to your site by way of paying you (using PayPal). However, we don't divulge the name of our clients or brands at this stage - normally only when the articles are sent over for review. As long as you are comfortable, we would also request that the post not be marked as ‘sponsored’. In this regard, would you accept sponsored posts? As a verification and confirmation, could you send me the specific name of your site/s if this is something you would be interested in? If the price we offered in our previous email ($50 per post) is acceptable to you, just let me know so we can proceed further. Regards, Alan He's firm on the price.Hi Mark,
