Sponsored Logs With Free “Stuff”

[Poppy]

I’ve just done a little surfing through the site of some of our recent logs that have been sponsored.

I can’t find one that has been kept up reasonably well. “Reasonably” meaning 2 or 3 days a week for the agreed upon amount of time…length of cycle with a closing synopsis of the individual’s experience/take away.

Someone please point one out in the last 12 months. There’s every possibility that I missed it.

To be clear…this is just for members at large NOT the official sponsored athletes.

Happens every time. Sucks cause I know there are some guys on here who would be diligent about it. Members have gotten into fights over this in the past mainly because the offender gets defensive about fulfilling his end of the bargain.

Much like college loans these days

 

[Mossy1985]

Hell. We’ve had members completely vanish after getting their freebies

That’s too bad, I haven’t checked the logs but it’s sad to have people take advantage of our sponsors

It’s usually newer members or people who are newly active. I can’t imagine that any of our regular cast members would do this to a board sponsor. It’s almost like we should have a rule to protect board sponsors…

 

[Poppy]

Agreed

Agreed

There has been issues in the past with this, like mentioned above. One of us “calls out the newer member” and they get offended and leave.

This happens to flash in particular bc he usually requires that you haven’t used his product in order to get freebies.

 

[Poppy]

You’d think free stuff would have the exact opposite effect…

 

[Poppy]

I promise you if one of our sponsors gave me free crap…I wouldn’t shut up about it. Y’all would get tired of me…even more so than now.

 

[Poppy]

we should have a rule to protect board sponsors…

Completely agree but I guess that’s up to the head honcho.

Have the member foot the bill up front and get $$$ retured at the end of the project if satisfactory.

Or just straight up if you complete less than 5 log posts a week for 12 weeks (or cycle length) you can’t order from me. That’s what I would do if I gave someone a free cycle and then they just didn’t do anything with it in terms of promotion or honest review.

This is why I’ve never stuck my hand out for the free stuff . I have to little girls, work 7 days a week, still hit the gym and run my stuff but I don’t have time for logging only in my head lol . If the sponsor asked for a certain dedicated person and logs then they need to do it . If you can’t then you shouldn’t be in this lifestyle ! I agrees with neuroRN if they take it and don’t follow there end of the bargain the sponsor should cut them off and also they should be known on here as one of the people trying to basically scam for free stuff ! No bueno

 

[Vargas33]

I think I’ve received one free bottle of test cyp from flash couple yrs back when he asked who’s never tried his products and I’ve been a flash soldier running flash ever since then !

 

[NeuroRN]

This self awareness is key. Thank you.
