Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this blog called ‘Sniffing Monkey’?

Well, we’re obsessed with scents and think monkeys are pretty cool, but don’t worry, we don’t look like one (on most days). Imagine a curious little monkey sniffing its way through all the fragrances out there, discovering hidden gems, and picking only the best to share with you. That’s basically us! Plus, “Sniffing Monkey” just makes you smile, and who doesn’t need a little humor when talking about perfumes?

Do you make money with this blog?

Oh, you bet we do! But don’t worry—it’s all to keep the scent magic alive for you!

Advertisements – Yes, you may occasionally see an ad pop up. Think of it as a little sprinkle of “monetization perfume.” But we promise no annoying pop-ups that will interrupt your sniffing journey.
Affiliate Links – At no extra cost to you (and, hey, many come with discounts for you to enjoy), we earn a small commission if you click and purchase through our links. It’s like we’re getting a high-five for helping you find a great scent.
Sponsorships and Partnerships with Brands – Sometimes, we get to work with local and international brands to bring you even better content. We create honest reviews, and product features, or travel to exclusive fragrance events (if they’re willing to cover our perfume habit). Don’t worry, though—we always disclose any sponsorships, so you know when we’re working with a brand.

Do you accept guest posts on your blog?

Yes! Feel free to send us a message.

Can you promote my products on your blog?

Absolutely! But here’s the catch: if your product doesn’t fit our fragrance niche or if we haven’t tested it ourselves, we can’t recommend it. We keep things honest here at Sniffing Monkey, so if it passes the sniff test, we’re happy to share it!

How do you choose which opportunities to accept or not?

Good question! Here’s how we make the call:

Will Our Readers Be Excited?
If we know our audience would be hyped about it, we’re in. Our loyalty lies with the awesome community we’ve built, so we keep it relevant and exciting for you!
Is There Compensation?
This is our little scent empire, so yes, compensation matters. After all, keeping Sniffing Monkey running takes time (and lots of coffee). But, if it’s a truly exciting project that aligns perfectly, we might slide our rate down a notch to make it work. It’s all about finding that balance.
Does It Spark Joy?
Let’s face it—life’s too short to spend time on things we don’t love. We only accept opportunities that make us smile and keep us excited to bring you the best content. If it’s got us sniffing with curiosity and passion, we’re all in!

My business is still new, can you help promote it for free?

Congrats on the new business! While we’d love to help everyone for free, we also need to keep things running here. We do offer affordable options to get your brand noticed, so send us a message, and let’s find something that works!
