Welcome to Alysson Fergison’s personal website & blog, also known as “Alysson Fergison – A writer, unbound…” I can be reached by e-mail at the following e-mail address: alysson@alyssonfergison.com.
I don’t like ads. In fact, I hate them. But making a living as a writer isn’t easy. Bills don’t pay themselves and a girl’s gotta eat. So here’s the deal: you’ll see some ads here & there. With very few exceptions, every ad you see will be from an affiliate program I am a part of and for a product that I have specifically selected to advertise on my website (i.e. the ads are not auto-generated).
I will never inexplicably stick them in the middle of a story or use ads that cover any part of the page. Most ads will appear in the sidebar, text-based affiliate links will appear within the content and if I’m writing about a specific topic — like small business marketing or website design, for example — I will likely include links to companies I have personal experience with, like domain registrars and hosting companies. If you click on those ads/links and buy something, I make a few bucks. It won’t cost you an extra dime. And rest assured, I only feature ads for products & services that I have used personally, have good reputations and/or I think you can benefit from in some way. I am also an Amazon Associate, so I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases when you click through to Amazon’s product listings via a link on my site.
