Thanks for your interest in blog sponsorship! I’m a yoga teacher and artist based in Durham, NC. The blog began in November 2010 and has gained exponential readership ever since! I’m Ali Hinks, and I love thinking and writing about yoga, its place in contemporary America, and how we fit into yoga’s long lineage. I also write fiction, as well as feature quotes and thoughtful writings by guests on the blog.
My blog is the ONLY blog on the internet to feature an original collection of yoga infographics. Wow!

Your three options for advertising are:
1. BUTTON ADS: you create a 207×207 jpg or gif that will be placed in the sidebar.
2. ONE-LINE TEXT ADS: a less expensive and less effective option that will be nestled between others’ button ads.
3. SPONSORED POSTS: you write a post for your product or you can have me test your product and write an honest review. This is the most expensive, and I believe, most effective option.
FAQ
When can you launch my ad? Within 48 hours of receipt of payment and your ad.
How do you do payment? I will issue you a paypal invoice.
How do I tell if my ad is doing well? You should set up analytics for your site and track hits on your ad. Remember that the average click-through rate is 1%. However, sales generated from ads are not always immediate, and ads build brand recognition as well.
Where will my ad be placed? Ads are in the right hand sidebar.
Is there anything I can do to make my ad perform at its best? Sure! Hiring a professional to design your ad is important if you don’t have a design background yourself. A professional ad shows that it represents a professional shop.
Anything to remember when I’m designing my ad? Ads are 207×207 and can be sent as jpg or gif formats. I also offer one line text ads.
