Thank you for your interest in working with me. I love partnering with company brands, their products, and other bloggers on projects. If you’re interested in working together on a project, here are some ways we can do that.
Check out my Media Kit!
PayPal payments must be sent as SERVICES and NOT Goods. You are paying for a business marketing service, not a product. I would prefer you pay through the invoice link I will send you with your completed project.
** I AM WILLING TO WORK WITH YOUR BUDGET WITHIN REASON**
I accept several types of collaborations, including:
First: Post Important Information
I am always open to collaborations on topics that fit my website—general lifestyle, wellness, food/recipes, travel, beauty (NOT cosmetic surgery(this is reserved for current clients only,) food, as well as, home and garden topics.
Please note I am not a “mommy blogger” and therefor do not post topics about children, parenting, prenancy, or childhood educaiton.
However, I do not do casinos or gambling unless it is more of a travel theme for my state (Michigan) or general travel where the casio/gambling is part of the fun/sight seeing of another city/state.
If you are interested in CBD posts, they must be related to DIY recipes (like those listed on my site), holistic topics, or wellness topics.
I also do NOT do lawyer/legal, business topics in another niche, addiction, recovery, or treatment-related topics. I also will not write about anything sexual or illegal.
#1. Guest Post
Due to Nevermore Lane’s high demand for guest posts, I currently don’t accept free guest posts or post exchanges. However, I accept paid guest posts on my blog, starting at $40 USD per post. This a marketing space fee and compensation for my time.
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS WITHOUT blog content are $20 per post.
Please see the following for the terms and conditions for the publishing procedure:
- The draft should be written for a minimum of 750 words, 1000 is ideal. Do not use EM DASHES! I can tell this is AI.

- I will use relevant stock photos (or the images you provide) as supporting images on the blog post, optimized with alt tags for each photo. If you decide to use your own photos, please send the LINK so I can give the creator credit. I cannot use photos from Canva, Adobe, or other pay to use photo sites. Using sites like Freepik, Pexels, Pixaby, and Unsplash are encouraged.

My preferences:
- When crafting your introductions, please ensure they are at least three paragraphs long and avoid generic or filler terms like ‘in this post’ or ‘keep reading,’ ‘lets get started,’ read on.’ This will help maintain the quality and uniqueness of your content.
- Please make sure the conclusion paragraph has an H2 title and not just a ‘Conclusion’ or something like ‘Wrapping Up.’ Conclusions should also contain at least 2 full paragraphs.
- While I don’t mind the use of AI as a writing tool, it’s important to remember that I am well versed in how these tools operate and the repetitive nature of their output. Please use AI as a tool and not for direct copy-pasting. Instead, rewrite the content to match the tone, voice, and audience of my website.

Don’t want other links added to your content?
Exclusive Content Policy
Exclusive content ensures that your brand maintains a unique presence on Nevermore Lane. When content is designated as exclusive, no external competitor links will be included for the duration of the business’s operation. If your provided link becomes inactive, the business closes, or any other circumstance leaves the content without a functional reference, broken links will be removed, and I reserve the right to update the content with relevant links that enhance its value.
A service fee of $25 applies (per dofollow link) to the exclusive content in addition to the $40 fee, regardless of whether your team provides the material or I create it. An exclusive content policy contract will need to be signed.
Disclosure: This is a for-profit blog. I am sometimes compensated for the work I do with brands and products. I only share the brands and products I use personally and know firsthand. I do not accept payment just to publish positive reviews. If I try your product and don’t like it, I will express my opinion. All opinions are 100% my own and my honest review.
I also do not accept sponsor posts, guest posts, advertisements, or links unless they align with my voice and my brand. If I do not like the link/post/ad I will not accept it. I prefer to work with high value products and services.
