"Fat Burning" Pills and Affiliate Offers

Hey guys,

I thought I'd let you in on some stuff that goes on "behind the scenes" here at Strongandfit.net.

This blog is still not one of the "top" fitness blogs out there, but I've been blessed with increased traffic, etc.  With this "success" has come more attention from marketers.

Recently I was emailed with an offer to promote a particular diet/fat burning supplement.  My commission would be 25-50% per sale.  I already had a feeling I'd be turning them down, but I checked out the website just out of curiosity.  As I expected, I was completely unimpressed with the ingredients of the said supplement--very typical of the garbage I see marketed in the name of fitness.
 
Just to be clear, I do make money with this blog.   It's one of the many reasons I have enjoyed it so much.  But I only promote stuff I believe to be worthwhile, which is why most of my money/promotion involves diet and training programs (not magic bullets or gimmicks).  I'd recommend something like Mike Geary's Truth About Abs if you are really serious about getting rid of fat.
