Ad Disclaimer

The direct sells directory is a classified ads section for home party businesses.
Prices subject to change without notice.

Direct Sales Directory Ads
Just $95 for 1 year or $150 for 2 years.
That's less than 26.4 cents per day or $7.92 per month!
Before your ad expires you can renew the same ad for just $75 for 1 year.

Each listing includes a FREE search engine optimized interview and a listing on the appropriate direct sales web page.

  • Your interview and classified ad stays up for an entire 12 months.
  • Your interview will be linked on our home page for an entire month—that's worth $300!
TO PLACE AN AD
Do not send any money until you've spoken to us. We only allow one advertiser per direct sales company. Email us if you are interested in. We'll email you back with the next available ad date, cost, and payment specifics.

ADVERTISING TERMS & CONDITIONS:
  • Our advertisements are sold on a flat-fee basis, not cost per thousand impressions (CPM).
  • Ads are sold on a yearly basis.
  • We do not guarantee downline, sales, or leads.
  • We do not guarantee a certain number of impressions per advertisement.
  • Will will only make two (2) changes to your ad, during your paid period, free of charge. Any changes after that will cost $10 per change.
Ad Liability Policy
  • We are not responsible for any errors in your advertisement.
  • We are not liable for anything that transpires between you and the consumer/client who contacts you due to your advertisement placed on DM.
Ads We Do Not Accept
We will not knowingly promote the following: adult themes, alcohol, drugs, gambling, nudity, occult, profanity, sexual products, violence, or weapons.

Reserve Rights
  • We reserve the right to change rates and/or advertising policy at our discretion.
  • We reserve the right to decline advertisers, ad text, and ad designs.
  • We reserve the right to pull your advertisement without reimbursement should your company go out of business, link to or carry content against our policy, or receive legitimate complaints.
Refund Policy
  • All Sales Are Final. We do not give refunds.
  • Once you pay for an advertisement that spot is filled and we have to turn down other advertisers.
AD RESULTS VARY
As with any advertisement results vary. While The Dabbling Mum optimizes every page and receives several thousand overall views per month, we do not guarantee new downline, sales, or leads.

PAYMENTS
We accept payments via Pay Pal via credit card, money order, cashier's check, or business check. If submitting a business check, the ad will go up when the check clears the bank. We don't put any ads up until the check clears the bank.

COMPANY POLICIES
Because we do not give refunds on advertising it is imperative that you check your company policy regarding advertising on the Internet, on other websites, and/or having a listing found in the search engines.

Year Ads include interviews that can be found in the search engines and often placed above the company's main site itself. If you can advertise on the Internet, please make sure your company also allows you to be found in the search engines. Every interview we provide is optimized for the search engines; therefore, if your company does not allow you to be interviewed and have the "company name" appear in the search engines, we need to know so that you don't get into trouble. We can always HIDE your interview from the search engines, but still include it with your year ad.

(8/17/05)
-- Laurie Brown

I have to tell you—I’ve been corresponding with this woman for approx. 2 weeks about becoming a consultant for Once Upon a Family. She has actually already signed up. Anyhow, she told me that it was your website she found me on. All this time I thought she found me through the corporate website. I was thrilled because just the other day I emailed you thanking you for all your work not knowing this woman found me on your website!!! It’s so ironic! (10/9/03)
Update: Again, thanks for sending that request. I'm glad I found you!! (8/26/04)
-- Angela Cardenas

Advertising on The Dabbling Mum™ has been a wonderful source for exposure and referrals for my business. For online advertising I couldn't ask for "a better bang for my buck!"
-- Jennifer Aderhold (8/15/03 and 12/10/03)

My MAIN focus is on my word processing biz, but the Discovery Toys is a fun thing to do.  On your site, though, a lot of my leads for DT come from there!
-- Michelle Jasper (6/24/04)

The company always wonders why I get the hits...you and I know!
-- Katie (8/04/04)

Please let us know when your current advertiser's ad is up. We had heard about your site through Katie Cornelius, who previously advertised on your site and was quite impressed with the business she received from it.
-- Amie (10/19/06)
