I've recently allowed ads to be placed on my blog which I talked more about in the post before my most recent one. Bloggers can earn a small amount of money from ads on their blogs and that's ultimately my goal. But I think I only earn anything if someone actually clicks on the ad. So I was hoping that some of you might sometimes click on them and let the page load. That's all you have to do. You don't have to buy anything. Just click. It's also fine if you don't do this. I just wanted to let you guys know how this seems to work.
I've recently joined NetGalley which is a website where so-called "professional readers" (read: bloggers, librarians, booksellers, etc.) can request print ARCs and e-galleys from publishers. Of course, this is not the only way to request books from publishers. Sometimes bloggers are sent books from publishers without having to ask, but I have not reached that level yet. The other way to get advanced copies is to email the publisher directly and ask for a copy. To do this, you have to write out a whole, official email telling them about yourself and your blog and asking for a copy, which can be very intimidating. I have requested books from publishers directly and I do plan on continuing to do this (it's how I got my copy of Tonight the Streets Are Ours by Leila Sales) but NetGalley is a great option. You get a faster response and you don't have to write out a whole email. There are a lot of books available to request, especially ones you might not have known ...
