^ I wrote Coca Cola Advertising dept, and they are always looking for new and interesting ways to get the name out there. I told them I’m a member of this hip blog and can generate interest in one of their products at little to no cost to them. Zero overhead for me. The 37 cents was formulated by the projected interest and Eskays click through rate.

eskay can’t hire you sleep…it’d be a conflict of interest…your girl already on the payroll
May 13th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
Don’t you have to set yourself apart from the others in order to be unique, give the people a reason why they should visit your blog over the thousands of others. I thought about that and considered the blog thing, but you have to go super hard.
====================================
I know. I’m still figuring out my lane. My voice is what makes my spot unique…or it will, as soon as I really find it. There’s a difference between reporting & blogging. I’m still trying to find a happy medium.

^ good question, Because Coke is already a house hold name with loyal consumers. Its easier to piggyback of an established product than it is to launch an entirely different product. If the Brand is recognized so will its affiliates.
