ZombieGoddessWrites DOES NOT accept guest posts. From Bloggers or PR teams. ZombieGoddessWrites DOES NOT post Ads as blog posts. No content will be posted to ZGW without containing content written by Cassie Hampson. Thank you.

This is my personal blog. People read my blog to read about my personal experiences and thoughts.

I will accept excerpts for sponsored posts which will be intergreated into my own writing with quote marks.

I run a full disclosure blog. I disclose if a post is sponsored and I always make sure to disclose if a product was sent to me to review. I always disclose the intentions of a post. I do not send something out to my readers without letting them know it was part of a company's campaign. Any post I write, whether it is a review or sponsored post or any other post that isn't 100% mine will have a disclaimer.

I also disclaim sposorship and ads in my social media postings. If I post on socials for your campain I will disclose that in the post.

Any reviews on this blog are 100% my opinion. Being sent a product/being paid will not affect my review. I will not give a favorable review for compensation. Nor will I review products that do not fit the branding of this blog for compensation. I will only accept products that fit the theme of this blog.

If I love a product/service I will share that enthusiastically with my readers. If I believe a product is ‘pretty good’, or "alright" I will share that as well. If, for any reason, I have a negative experience, I will contact you to discuss next steps and the possibility of terminating the relationship as opposed to sharing a negative review. Receipt of promotional products does NOT guarantee a positive review. I value complete honesty with readers.

I am a full disclosure blog. I disclose if a post is sponsored and I always make sure to disclose if a product was sent to me to review. I always disclose the intentions of a post. I do not send something out to my readers without letting them know it was part of a company's campaign. Any post I write, whether it is a review or sponsored post or any other post that isn't 100% mine will have a disclaimer.

Sponsored posts will have a disclaimer at the bottom that reads "Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post. Sponsored by: ______." or "Disclaimer: This post was sponsored by_______." It may have an alternate Disclaimer if the company or brand requires. Sponsored posts will have a small photo at the very top of the post to indicate that the post is sponsored.

Posts containing products received for review will have a disclaimer at the bottom that will read something like the following: "Disclaimer: I received this product or products for testing and my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own." The disclaimer may read differently if the company or brand requires. Posts that contain products I have received for review will have a small photo at the very top of the post to indicate the products were sent to me for review. You can see it to the right.

REVIEWS

Any reviews on this blog are 100% my opinion. Being sent a product will not affect my review. I will not give a favourable review for compensation. Nor will I review products that do not fit the branding of this blog for compensation. I will only accept products that fit the theme of this blog.

When writing a sponsored post I retain the complete creative right to the post. I can write a post themed around your product or campaign. This can include but not be limited to, a promo for upcoming products or just sharing your brand.You can submit a piece of content to be used in a sponsored post but please note I will not publish a post that contains no content written by me.

I will use the content you provide but I will add my own content about the subject of the post. I only accept sponsored posts that fit the content and brand of this blog. I will not write a sponsored post if I have not tried the product/services myself. For more information see the FTC Compliance policy below.

ZombieGoddessWrite and its Author comply fully with the latest FTC Guidelines regarding disclosures. The views and opinions expressed on this blog are purely my own and not that of any advertiser, company, affiliate or group. I will only endorse products or services that I believe in, based on my own expertise and experience, are worthy of such endorsement. All reviews of products are 100% the blog owners opinion and are not subject to pre-approval by PR Representatives or brands. Any Brands or PR Representatives that wish to impose such pre-approval guidelines or wish to provide content that is not written by me, will not be accepted without compensation and will be labelled and disclosed appropriately as a sponsored post. I will not publish a post that does not contain any content written by me. I will not post a company content only post. A company may submit sponsored content to be uploaded but I will not publish it on its own. I will add my own content about the subject to the post with the sponsored content before publishing. Any Brands or PR Representatives that wish to have a full post of sponsored content published to this blog without any additional content added by me will not be accepted.

ZombieGoddessWrites follows the Google guideline that any link to PR samples or links in sponsored posts will be set as "no-follow" links. Nofollow links are so that Google knows not to credit traffic from that link to a sites DA. If ZombieGoddessWrites violates this guideline this blog could be taken off of search results. There are no exceptions to this blog's compliance with this guideline. All PR links will be set to no-follow.

This is a personal blog written and edited by me. I am not a makeup artist, esthetician, dermatologist, or any other type of cosmetic or medical professional. I am not claiming to be any of the above in any of my posts.

I am not a medical professional and the advice on this blog is not to be taken as such. The opinions expressed on this blog are not meant to be substituted for professional medical advice and if you have any questions you should consult a medical professional. I'm just a girl who loves makeup and I want to share my love with the world.

I may participate in ad campaigns for products or brands. I only accept products that fit the content of this blog. These campaigns are usually a paid for advertisement. The compensation I receive will not affect my views of the products, nor will it affect the content, topics or posts on this blog.

Sponsored posts will have a small photo at the very top of the post to indicate that the post is sponsored. You can see it to the right.

I am a member of several affiliate programs and some links to product pages may be affiliate links. Affiliate links mean that I will receive a commission from the purchase of the product linked at no extra cost to you. Not all links on this blog are affiliate links. I am not sure of the percentage but I feel safe saying less than a fourth of my links are affiliate links. Affiliate Links will always be marked.

Any post containing affiliate links will have "Disclaimer: This post contains Affiliate Links" or "Disclaimer: Some links in this post are Affiliate Links." at the very bottom of the post.

Posts with affiliate links will have a small photo at the very top of the post to indicate the use of affiliate links. You can see it to the right.

AFFILIATE PROGRAMS I WORK WITH

Amazon Associates Affiliate Program

This is an affiliate program through Amazon. I can link to anything on Amazon and earn a 4-8% commission. I can also use Amazon's banner ads and earn a bounty.

Apple iTunes Affiliate

As a member of this program, I can link to any of Apple's digital content and earn a 7% commission. I can also use the iTunes banner ads that also earns a commission.

I sometimes do posts featuring products sent to me for test and review. Most of the time these products are sent to me by marketing companies or the PR department for a company/brand. There are also companies that send out boxes of mixed samples for test and review. You sign up on their website and they will start to send you products when you have a high enough following on social media. I am a member of some of these programs. Being sent products in no way changes my opinions of the products. All opinions are 100% my own!

Posts that contain products I have received for review will have a small photo at the very top of the post to indicate the products were sent to me for review. You can see it to the right.

Some network companies work with bloggers to bring them sponsored content and to help bloggers create relationships with brands. Instead of being sent samples, these companies work with the blogger to help them find brands that want to work with bloggers.

All content made possible by these networks will be classed as Sponsored content and marked as such. (See Sponsored Content Disclaimer above)

On occasion doing one of the sponsored posts from this brand may involve a press sample. These posts will be classed as Sponsored Content with a press sample and will be marked with both the Sponsored Content image and the Press Sample image.

Influenster

I am a member of Influenster. They are one of the companies that send out boxes of samples. For the past few months, I've been sent a box about every 2 months. They send me products and I test them out then share my experience. Again being sent these products in no way changes my view on the products. All opinions are 100% my own.

Any posts containing products I've received from Influenster will have a disclaimer at the bottom of the post that reads: "Disclaimer: I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes." It might be worded differently if Influenster requires.

All Posts about products from Influenster are classed as Press Samples and shall be marked as such. (See Press Sample disclaimer above)

Some products I review maybe a free sample from Ulta or Sephora. Either as a free add-on to a purchase or as rewards member B-day gift.

When I review a product I got as a freebie the post will have a small photo at the very top of the post to indicate that I got the products for free. You can see it to the right.

Freebies ARE NOT Press Samples! Press Samples are marked Press Sample. See the disclaimer above for more info!

One more time just to make it clear any reviews on this blog are 100% my opinion. Whether I purchased the product, it was a gift, or a company or brand sent it to me, it will not affect my view of the products. I will not give a favourable review for compensation. Nor will I review products that do not fit the branding of this blog for compensation. I will only accept products and deals that fit the theme of this blog.

If you are a company or brand that would like to contact me about reviewing a product or doing a sponsored post you can contact me via my business email here. I'd be happy to work with you if you think your brand or products are fitting for my content. Please note the above disclaimers and also note I will not write a review of a product or a write a sponsored post without giving a proper disclaimer in the post. You can find all my PR Policies here.

ZombieGoddessxi is my gamer tag so I made it my YouTube Channel name since I'd mostly be playing games. So that turned into being my handle on all social media so it would be easier to find me in searches. I never actually never started my gaming channel. Now I ended up finally starting my channel which is more Art and Life based now.

But back when I was starting my blog I decided to have my blog name be under the same umbrella so everything would match up nicely. I decided on "ZombieGoddessBeauty" because when I choose the name I mainly wrote about beauty and I thought "ZombieGoddessxi" sounded a little boring for a blog name.

When my blog focus shifted to more about my life and everything that I love and not just beauty I changed the name to "ZombieGoddessWrites" So now it fits better with my writing about everything that interests me.

I really loved watching Zoella and Tanya Burr and Tati (AKA GlamLifeGuru) and a ton of the other lovely ladies on YouTube. I started to get into makeup when I was 15. I watched their videos and learned a lot.

Then I started researching on my own and that's when I found a lot of my favourite bloggers. They inspired me to start blogging. I wanted to share the products I fall in love with and share what I've learned from these ladies. I wanted to create my own space to talk about makeup and share what I've learned and new things as I learn them.
