Sell everything you stand for

Hi! You might have noticed that I got into the iTunes affiliate program, right. Which is awesome and I love it. But I just can't bring myself to link to iTMS stuff in the course of daily blog action, as it feels so very wrong and out of place.

See, I like linking to stuff, all kinds of stuff, fun stuff even, and I don't want you to wind up thinking, "Oh, I'm not going to click on that link because she may be trying to sell me something" and oh, the nerve. Not that I'm trying to sell you anything. I'm really not! Honest!!! I'm just trying to point out things that could result in the awesomeness and happiness of awesome and happy living. And God. And the Bible.

Like, I could link to stuff for sale other places on the Web, right, and I certainly have with no damage to my conscience whatsoever, but I feel uncomfortable linking to stuff where the sale of that stuff might result in me getting a tiny bit of pocket change in return. This is clearly why I have no money, ever. Because I have shame. SHAME, people. I know that if I could somehow convert my Emitt Rhodes search visitors into pennies, I would have a nice pile of coffee money. (I drink a lot of coffee.) But I'm not someone who would ever write something like, "I can't believe what Britney Spears did yesterday!" where the link is to buy a remix or something. You know me better than that. Yes you do.

Doing consumer-y stuff that could result in my being rewarded by the sale of goods and services, that'd be like bringing you here under false pretenses. And false pretenses are wrong, no matter what Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald says. That's why I give you Recommended by Ruby Trax — because one under-updated blog is simply NOT ENOUGH.
