Business Owner Testimonials

“Thanks to the Medellin Living story, our occupancy went up 20 percent in April, May and June of this year (2014), compared to the same months last year. Thanks, Dave and everyone at Medellin Living for the great article!”

— Brent Knowles, Owner, The Wandering Paisa

“The Medellín Living event at Humo BBQ & Bar in May 2014 was a hit! As a restaurant, we were able to promote our Happy Hour, share our concept and cuisine with a new segment of locals, and grow our following within the community. As a business owner, the networking opportunities were incredible, Dave and Ryan are very good at tapping the professional channels of locals, foreigners, expats and frequent travelers within the city. I hope we can team up again very soon to have another successful (and fun!) event!”

— Carmen Angel, Chef & Owner, Carmen Restaurant Medellín, Carmen Restaurant Cartagena, Humo BBQ & Bar

What You Get:  We offer three different approaches to sponsored posts, all of which make use of “no follow” links for this site to comply with Google’s terms and conditions.

1. (Recommended) Write an advertorial, unique content related to your product, service, or website based on the author’s personal travel experiences.  These posts are much better received by regular readers, and more likely to be shared via social media as well.  Click here for an example.

2. Write an honest review of your product, service, website, or business. We will test it (or in the case of a website, visit it) and write a review based on our experience.  Click here for an example.

3. Write an informational post about your product, service, or website. In this case, we won’t use the word “review” and the post would be strictly informational.

Posts are approximately 400 to 600 words in length.  They are posted live to the front page of this blog for at least seven days and will exist permanently in the archives to benefit from search engine traffic.
