Hi friends! Every so often I offer ad space at ALBTALBS. Really it’s supposed to be $15/month (for a static image), but I don’t make a big deal about it. If someone purchases ad space generally I do a highlight post on it as well – if you’re a longtime reader you may have a vague recollection of this. Every so often I’ll offer monthly ad space at a discount. Ads are never enough to cover costs, but it’s definitely better than nothing. This all comes to mind for a number of reasons. First of all … blog fees are due soon, and if I want to keep ALBTALBS, it’s hundreds of dollars. Considering I had to set up a Go Fund Me for medical expenses … yeah.

Even without the major surgeries etc … in an attempt to help with the costs it’s why I set up a Ko-Fi too, a year or two ago.

Anyway! How the ads work is I put them as a widget in the sidebar, so ad blockers won’t remove them, and also so they’ll show on every page – the main one and specific posts. Please let me know if you’d like to be an ALBTALBS sponsor!

So … here are the ALBTALBS sponsors (people who paid for ads) from 2018 … and two shout outs which I’ll explain. (For the 2018 authors I went with their latest release that I could find.) That’s generally what I do too if someone doesn’t remember to let me know what image they want to run but have paid.

And now we have Nicole Flockton and Abigail Owen. I was talking to Nicole, saying I was bummed I ~couldn’t go to RWA this year, especially since it was during restaurant week. She was like “meh, I’m not a foodie” and I low key freaked out, and I tweeted if anyone managed to get her to a restaurant week place I’d give them both three free months of ad space at ALBTALBS 😀 So! Highlight to these two authors, and that’s why they’re in the “Shoutout” box! 😀

Sometimes I think about just shutting down, to be honest. So … I guess a decision needs to be made. And fast. For now though, we truck on. And if you want to help me decide, and want ad space or to support A Little Bit Tart, A Little Bit Sweet? Please do! Thanks! <3

[And in case you couldn’t tell … hi – this is Limecello. Generally when I post in the “General Administrator” account I make sure the text is purple – it’s how you can tell who is doing what … but I figured it was pretty obvious this was me. Because it’s always me – unless it’s green text doing intro fora guest. 😛 )
