I don’t like to talk about money. It’s personal. I mean I would tell you cause we are besties but other than that, nope sorry.

In reply to brandyellen.

If they’re really pushing it, I’ll simply say I can’t disclose compensation. I’ll ask the promoter if they are looking for other sites to advertise on and if “I” feel they are a good fit I’ll forward that person’s site.

In reply to tonygreene113. Changing subject is a great idea. But what if they are relentless in wanting to know? How do you politely tell them "none of your business" ...

When another blogger asks me what I make for each promotion that I do, I simply change the subject. Or I give them the point of contact for the network or advertiser and let them negotiate a rate for themselves.
