[...] a significant buzz. It wasn’t KMart people were really concerned with though – it was Chris and the concepts of right/wrong in Social Media. Chris is, by far, a much larger brand in Social Media than KMart

I think it’s pretty obvious there is a difference between the Kmart and Wal-Mart promotions but thanks for underscoring it for everyone. And maybe the Eleven Moms will get special treats under the tree for doing all you do without compensation!

VERY well thought out post, Lucretia.

I trust Chris & Jeremiah – and you. So I’d “buy” what each of you sells, without qualms. I’d know I was responding to an honest evaluation of whatever was being sold.

Guess I’m a little late to the party, but I wanted to say how much I enjoyed this post. Personally, I was blown away by the whole Izea controversy and that people were getting so upset over what was obviously a transparent and clearly disclosed sponsored post.

That aside, I think you really hit the nail on the head (several times, in fact) here. The first being that a person’s integrity isn’t contingent upon never earning any money from blogging.

As a blogger, I don’t comprehend why people seem to think anyone who earns a living from their efforts is somehow less than honorable.

Our time is worth something – whether monetarily or “something else.” It’s naive and really disrespectful to think otherwise, and I’m really glad that you pointed out how much time and effort goes into posting a contest, etc.

Again, great and thought-provoking post. Keep up the good work!

Mr. Kirtok:

Thank you for resolving the issue. As you can tell, preserving not just my reputation but that of the other Walmart ElevenMoms is a matter I take close to heart.

We are a diverse, but honest group of bloggers trying to help Walmart to move into the Social Media space in a genuine and transparent way. Please be assured when I say that if any of us were ever to be compensated by Walmart we would be disclosing it thoroughly all over any post we made to that effect, multiple times.

Thank you for fixing the issue. And thank you for taking the time to clear it up for me.

Best,
~GM

Lucretia, I’ve posted a reply to your comment at my blog. I wanted to add my note here also so you can read. I’ve found this blog post from Allen Stern’s (centernetworks) link. I’ve never visited your blog before, only had a chance to read this post quickly. Maybe spent a few minutes on this page, that’s all.

The disclaimer at the end of my blog post was a JOKE. I never meant anything about you nor anybody else at that joke. I haven’t even heard of WalMart’s Eleven Moms program until you’ve left a comment to my blog a few minutes ago. I used WalMart just because the topic was about KMart.

Again, my disclaimer joke was meant and written as a joke.

I hope this clears the misunderstanding.
