Reviews
Shereen Travels Cheap now offers reviews of travel products and travel-related websites. Each review will be a minimum of 300 words in length and will offer an honest and unbiased opinion on said product or website. This review will appear on the Shereen Travels Cheap homepage for at least one week and thereafter, it will remain in the Review Archives for easy reference. A link to the appropriate website(s) will also be included, and the review post will be promoted to my Facebook and Twitter followers as well as linked in my monthly subscription newsletter. I reserve the right to refuse a review for any reason. The review will be written and posted within two weeks of receiving the item or notification that a website will be reviewed.
Product Reviews & Giveaways
Currently, Shereen Travels Cheap only accepts items for review with prior approval. Products sent for review by Shereen Travels Cheap will not be returned. Firms wishing for additional exposure beyond the posted review may provide a duplicate product to be offered to readers in a giveaway. Winner will be chosen from a random drawing of all entries received within the specified entry timeframe and credit for providing the product will be given to the supplying firm.

In exchange for a review of a website, placement of an advertisement or other prominent link to http://www.shereentravelscheap.com/ on the homepage of the reviewed site is required for a period of one month from the date the review is posted on Shereen Travels Cheap. Graphic for advertisement will be provided by Shereen Travels Cheap in the size and format specified by hosting site.
Sponsored & Guest Posts
If you are a travel or budget blogger, I am always looking for new posts to use. I only ask that you also promote your post and my site via your blog and social media network. If you are not a blogger or travel writer, but want to guest post, this is considered a sponsored post and is treated as paid advertising. Please contact nancy@shereentravelscheap.com for rates and availability. You will be asked for the website being linked to in it ahead of time, so we can be sure it fits with the Shereen Travels Cheap theme. Please include that in your email. If it is not budget-friendly or of a broad enough scope we will likely not accept it. (Example: Apartment rentals in the UK would be acceptable. Apartment rentals in Essex would not.)
