BECOME A SPONSOR!

You can help to keep THE WANDERING TAX PRO alive and well by becoming a “sponsor” of this blog.

I will link to your website via a description (like “DISCOUNT CHECK PRINTING” or “BEST INSURANCE RATES”) or title (like “AMAZON” or “ENTERPRISE RENT-A-CAR”) – your choice - in a special highlighted “Web Roll” listing at the top of the right hand margin. It will be highly visible every time someone visits a post – either current or achieved. The “Roll” will be introduced by “Please show your support of and appreciation for the advice and information provided at TWTP by visiting our sponsors”.

The cost is $25.00 for six months or $50.00 for a full year, payable in advance via check to Taxpro Services Corporation. I do not accept PAYPAL or credit cards.

All potential sponsors must be approved in advance. I reserve the right not to accept your site as a sponsor if I feel it is not “appropriate”.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please email rdftaxpro@yahoo.com (put TWTP SPONSOR in the Subject line) with the link you would like to include in the Sponsor Web Roll and the description or name you would like in the listing. I will review your site to be sure it is “appropriate” and let you know via return email if you have been accepted. Upon acceptance you must remit full payment via check or money order.

FYI – even though I take a “hiatus” from posting during the tax filing season, this time of year the blog has more traffic than when I am actually posting! So now is the time to become a sponsor.
