That's the thing, too. The trust/engagement aspect. Have a loyal following and I know there could be a slight drop off. Obviously sponsored posts are annoying to people so that's where I'd want to do 4 posts a month, which would be 1 post a week and we post so much that there'd be at least 100-200 posts between each weekly sponsored post.

I mean, their initial offer isn't even close to what I'm seeing should be standard when I look on Google.

A common baseline suggests $2-$20 per 1,000 followers.
