[quote=Anonymous]I know a woman who started a blog and now calls it a “webzine”.  She has now taken it to Instagram where it seems to be gaining a much larger audience, she updates it several times a day.  I believe her intentions are to get free stuff, so paid in kind, and to make money.  She doesn’t need to make a living off of it because she comes from money and her DH has a very successful business himself.  She seems to be enjoying herself and if she’s happy whatever.

However, I know the back story to her life and she definitely isn’t upfront about it.  She plugs herself as a mom and marriage guru, with advice on products, restaurants, hotels, clothes, gifts, etc that lead to happy children and a happy marriage.  She met her husband when he was married to someone else with whom he already had two kids and became his mistress.  She got pregnant, so he divorced wife 1 and married her. Now he has two kids with her too.   She definitely photoshops her pictures (you can tell with warped backgrounds sometimes) and uses other pictures as her own without credit.  She plugs plugs plugs everything, which makes me think she’s getting paid to plug it or she hopes a company will see her reference and reach out to start a deal.  She never discloses things as sponsored or as an ad.    I only follow her because she asked me to when she first got on instagram.

I can’t take anything she pushes with any sincerity which makes me think all other instagrams are just one big commercial.  Tastemakers are really tastemakers anymore because they’re getting paid to say they like something.  [/quote]
