Sponsored Content & Partnerships

This site is part of the Parsons Works network.
I collaborate with brands when it benefits readers and aligns with each site’s purpose. The rules below apply to Fatherhood Reloaded and Geekasms. The Greene Affect does not accept sponsorships or paid placements.

Sites covered

  • Fatherhood Reloaded (FR) — Parenting & family, accessibility & advocacy, family tech/gear, health & habits, family entertainment.
  • Geekasms — Pop culture, gaming, streaming, tech, collectibles, nostalgia.

Not monetized

  • The Greene Affect (TGA) — Our family’s medical journey. No sponsored content, no paid links, no product placement. If you want to support TGA, donate to relevant nonprofits or partner on community initiatives—email to discuss.

Non-negotiables (compliance & links)

  • Disclosure: All paid content is clearly labeled “Sponsored.”
  • Link policy: I do not sell followed links. All paid links are tagged rel="sponsored" (I may add nofollow at my discretion).
  • Anchors: No exact-match SEO anchors. Use brand names or natural phrasing.
  • Quantity: Max 1–2 brand mentions/links per article unless agreed otherwise.
  • Editorial control: I retain full edit/decline rights and may update or remove content later for accuracy, user safety, or maintenance.

Content standards

  • Originality: 100% original, unpublished, passes plagiarism checks.
  • Quality: Useful, on-topic, written for humans. AI-assisted is fine if it’s fully edited by a human.
  • Length: 900–1,400 words unless we agree on a different format.
  • Claims: Health/finance/legal claims require credible sources. No medical or legal advice.
  • Assets: Provide rights-cleared images/logos (or I can supply stock for a fee). Include alt text.

What I won’t publish

Adult/erotic, gambling/casinos, payday loans/“credit repair,” nicotine/vapes, essay mills, crypto/forex, counterfeit/gray-market goods, hacking/spyware, miracle health claims/supplements, or off-niche filler.

Process

  1. Pitch — Send brand URL, audience fit, goal, 2–3 topic ideas, and timing.
  2. Scope & quote — I confirm site, inclusions, and price.
  3. Draft — Google Doc preferred; 1 round of minor edits.
  4. Payment — Upfront via invoice (Stripe or PayPal Goods & Services; no Friends & Family).
  5. Publish — Labeled “Sponsored,” scheduled after payment and approval.

Pilot pricing (intro rates)

(Designed for small but growing sites. Rates may adjust as traffic and workload change. Bundles and nonprofit discounts considered.)

  • Sponsored Article (you provide the draft; I edit & format)
    • Fatherhood Reloaded: $125
    • Geekasms: $45
  • I write the article (interview/brief required): + $60–$120 depending on scope
  • Link insert into an existing relevant post (if approved): $55
    (Still disclosed and rel="sponsored".)

Social mentions:
For now, I’ll include up to 2 complimentary mentions (e.g., X and Threads, or IG story/Pinterest) with each sponsored article. My social accounts are currently small; I’m transparent about that. This is a bonus exposure, not the core value.

Placement & duration

No guarantees of rankings or specific positions.
Minimum live period: 12 months for sponsored posts (may remain longer at my discretion).
Headlines/formatting may be updated over time.

Cancellation & refunds

Before publication: 100% refund minus any custom work completed.
After publication: no refunds.
