Think about the last new restaurant you went to. If you post something about its not marketing its sharing something you enjoyed.

That's part of the currency of the realm. Soon, I will be paid by a few people to pimp some of what they do. They've come to me because they know I can draw attention. So to that end, I've told them, I have to believe in what you're doing. So far, I've turned away more than I've agreed to, because of that very reason. And when I do send out something drawing attention to something where I've been paid, you'll know forward and back that I'm on the clock for that product. And that's the delineator for me. As long as I know when you're just being passionate versus being passionate *and* paid, I'm still cool. Disclosure. That’s part of the currency of the realm.
