Why Financial Disclosure Matters on Your Website

Kayla Lords

Kayla Lords is a freelance sex writer, podcaster, blogger, all-around sex content creating human, and she really likes creating content. As a writer, she focuses on sex and kink primarily on BDSM and power exchange. She works with private clients to write their content and manage their social media, while also co-hosting two podcasts, running a YouTube channel, and managing multiple blogs. Let's just say, she stays busy and wants to keep it that way. Kayla is an international speaker and an award-winning sex blogger. She believes we are stronger together as a community than we are isolated and apart. We all deserve to get paid for the work we do, but until we understand our cumulative power, we'll all wonder if we're "the only one" doing this smutlancing thing.

    This is one of the biggest walls I bang my head against as a blogger.

    Bias exists, especially when compensation is involved, and I don’t do product reviews for this reason (and have had some companies get downright nasty when I say “no thank /ou”).

    Also, even though I would be open to compensation for content under the right circumstances, I have so far (and I’ve been blogging nearly 6 years) not taken any companies up on their (typically unethical) offers.

      I like to think of myself as highly ethical, but I have definitely felt the pull of “I know this is wrong, but the money would be nice.” Thankfully, I don’t give into that thought and let the unethical offer (of which there are MANY, you’re right) slide right by. But they’re able to flourish and it keeps working because too many bloggers either don’t know the rules/ethics behind compensatory blogging or just don’t care. My hope is that many people just don’t know.
