Quick Autobiography

My Wikipedia user page provides a respectable overview about me. You're encouraged to check it out. Please don't vandalize it, but feel free to enhance it.

You're also encouraged to check me out on:

Twitter (which I plan to use to make major annoucements)
del.icio.us (bookmarked links)
Flickr (photography and digital art)
Facebook (social networking)
LinkedIn (which I've never actually found a good use for)

Press, Promotion, and Sponsorship

I'm available to mainstream and online press outlets to answer questions related to the viewpoints expressed on www.robertvandyk.com. I can be contacted for media interviews at my personal e-mail address. I usually get dozens to hundreds of non-spam messages every day, but I'm very good about answering all inqueries. If I don't get back to you within two or three days, feel free to ping me again.

I'm currently offerring opportunities for individuals or organizations to promote their products, services, or brands on www.robertvandyk.com. I'll host static images or text blurbs of your content on specific pages for any length of time up to a maximium of ten years. My publication structure is flexible to support the various requirements of all sponsors.

Rates are negotiable, and I'm open to "quid pro quo" exchanges for sponsors who can provide me with something that has non-monetary value (for example, an offer of free goods or a cross-promotional advertisement opportunity). Additionally, I'm amenable to one-time payments, as well as reoccurring payments. I'm setup to receive payment via Paypal or via a check sent through the snail mail. In the future I hope to be able to provide additional payment options, but for the time being that this will suffice.

A caveat that I'll enforce is that I reserve the right to approve the content of all advertisements to assure that the quality of my site remains at an appropriately high level. In other words, all sponsored content seen on www.robertvandyk.com is also a personal recommendation by me to add increased value to the readers of my site.

The best thing is that sponsors on this site deal directly with me, Robert Van Dyk, and not an ad agency, which means all proceeds go directly to funding my ability to continue publishing this site! To sign up or to simply get additional information, just e-mail me. I will contact you shortly and am glad to answer any questions you may have.
