I received an e-mail today from this lady who supposedly works at New Media Strategies. She claimed that her company is working in conjunction with the SciFic Channel, promoting the new season of Ghost Hunters. She offer to I guess sponsor a couple of contests on my Ghost Stories blog, providing the prizes and covering all shipping costs.
Of course this would be a great opportunity. However, since becoming a serious writer, I've learned to check out great opportunities like this and make sure it's legit. I went to the website and it looks legit but I still wasn't sure. So, I checked the Better Business Bureau and came up with nothing and I even went as far as emailing the group marketing director of the advertising company at the SciFi Channel. I'm waiting for his response.
I guess what I am looking for here is a little advice on if I'm covering all my bases here or is there something else I should do?
