Perks of blogging

Perk=perquisite A material favor or gift, usually money, given in return for service

I've noticed some bloggers who write about movies or videogames become famous and attract attention from movie studios or videogame makers who give them gifts. Sometimes the gifts are a reward or incentive for mentioning their product or for writing a positive review.

This Netflix fan has not received any perks.

  1. Hi Becky!

    I just wanted to make a quick comment on your post: Yeah, Vic Ireland sent Grandma some stuff- and Grandma is thrilled whenever a developer shoots her an e-mail or a game, but we won't be dishonest or anything with reviews, that wouldn't be cool. If Grandma doesn't like it, she'll say so (BOY will she say so :) and I'll type it up without hesitation.

    I know you're not suggesting we fix reviews for gifts, it's all good; I just wanted to make sure you know we won't do anything shady at OGHC, it's just me and my Grandma :)

    I'd tell you what I think Netflix should do for you, but if I do it will jinx it. Your blog is informative, and they need that support.

    Keep bloggin!
